- Barrin92 1y agoalso, timers. What absolutely killed Nolan for me was when someone pointed out that he's virtually unable to create tension without a literal timer, be that bombs, watches, countdowns, what have you. Ever single damn movie. There's even a tick-tock sound from Nolan's stopwatch in the soundtrack of Dunkirk.
- rkomorn 1y agoFor some reason, this made me think of the countdown timer in Galaxy Quest that counts down but stops before getting to zero because the ship's design is based on a TV show.
- rkomorn 1y ago"Spoiler alert", I guess, if you've not seen Galaxy Quest in the quarter century since it was released.

- rkomorn 1y agoIt was sarcasm. 25 year old movies don't need spoiler alerts. But also, in a meta way, it wasn't a spoiler anyway because countdowns never reach zero anyway.
- awongh 1y agoExcept in Oppenheimer he was like, I'll just do the actual atom bomb instead. I'm glad that he knows himself well enough that he went right to the source.
