Can anyone explain why this post is funny to me? I don't know much about Interstellar.
Because Christopher Nolan is famous for making dialogue inaudible and then saying that the reason people can't hear it is because the film was supposed to be viewed in a high end cinema with a full surround sound system
Chris Nolan films are story-weak and make up for it with flashy visual and audio effects that are designed for showing in ultra high res cinema environments. Watching the film in probably 28fps on a tiny screen washed out by sunlight and single source audio intermittently drowned out by the sound of a ratlle gun makes most of those fancy effects pointless.
I watched Iron Man in the plane from my ipod!
Ok, so now we need Interstellar on a pregnancy test or microwave screen.
We know they play Doom, and someone has likely played the Bad Apple video on one too, as is customary on all things with displays, so I guess they can play Interstellar too.
We need someone to figure out the minimal number of bits which need to be flipped to change an Interstellar rip into Doom gameplay footage.
But can Interstellar play within Doom?
TARS and CASE could make it happen.
with the volume off
Loud music coming from the radio in the next room
VOLVER VOLVER
AAAAH AH AH AH
How dare you use subtitles? Nolan intended for the dialogue to be so badly recorded and mixed that you can’t understand a damn thing. Those godawful fight scenes and terrible choreography? It was meant to be there! Those shitty mistakes and errors left on the screen add flavour!
I was a movie theatre projectionist when that movie came out.
It was miserable - people complained about the mixing, and it also blew out our speakers in a couple of auditoriums.
And the ending is such a weird stupid ass pull. It’s reminds me of Bioshock Infinite - physics is magic that we can to deus ex machina our way out of this half thought out plot.

Not as good as watching camrip on phone.
So happy this genre has gone away
It has not.
I watched Tenet on my phone in bed with breaks, because he thought it would be worth risking lives during the pandemic to force it to be shown in movie theaters.
If people went to see Tenet during Covid, they'll end up needing the oxygen mask the Protagonist is wearing 🤭
Dub or subbed?
Doesn't matter, there's no audio anyway
The audio is just a constant staccato of air tools.
I can smell it
That, or is full volume but you can't hear anything anyway because they're also a radio blasting rancheras, dogs barking, tools sounds, people screaming...

The pneumatic screw-drivers really add to the soundtrack!
I'm in a Mexican,
tire shop.
ba-dum dum dum
I'm in a Mexican, woah-ohhhh, tire shop...
I see McConaughey,
on the tee vee,
don't understand just WHAT DOES HE SEE?
[that's all I got]
I first watched it on a 720p LCD screen on a Cheap $50 Android phone back in 2015 via those shitty ad-ridden streaming websites (and I didn't even know about uBlock Origin back then). Oh I didn't even have headphones.
In my defence, I was a kid, literally was still in middle school at the time. Frugal times... 😅
My child brain didn't even understand it at all, was just weird people in space and time travel magic. I didn't even know Time Dialation was a real thing at the time.
I did do a rewatch later on on a better display with headphones. Make a lot more sense since I'm older and wiser (sort of...)
I know the "real" experience is supposed to be at a movie theater, but like, c'mon, I hate being around people, hate going outside when its not required for survival.
Thanks for your confession. Your penance is to watch Interstellar in Imax and say 5 hail Nolans.
I watched Fight Club telecine rip with watermarks on a 21" tube television in a bar in Tenerife.
pushing random tires out of their racks to spell "I love you" or some shit
This makes me wonder if filmmakers cringe when they see their work on tiny screens anywhere on an airplane.
The true way to watch James Cameron's Avatar is in the corner of a subway surfers montage.
I could see a full onion article with this premise.
