Wandering through Middle-earth, with occasional forays into other literary and cinematic worlds, seeking goodness, truth, and beauty (and a bit of silly fun).

@Arkhairo It’s not explicit. I’m not even sure it’s something conscious or intentional on Nolan’s part, but I do believe it’s there.

@EarendilBright - describe (I watch very little cinema of that type right now) sounds very interesting.

Monday is the centenary of CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien meeting – CSL said JRRT 'only needs a slap or two'. Tolkien was 34, Lewis was 27. Without their friendship and synergy, so much that I hold dear wouldn't exist, including many of my own friendships. Thank God for May 11, 1926.

@TheMiddleborne Which saddens me a bit, because I’ve been waiting for this movie and I was hoping the trailer would shoot my anticipation to the stars.

@TheMiddleborne “It’s a trailer” was essentially my reaction, too.

Reading The Lord of the Rings aloud is such a special experience.

@Arkhairo Tenet has some suprisingly theologically-laden moments, and Oppenheimer has always felt to me like a moral/spiritual drama more than a political one. "Defy the gods" may be the starting point. I believe it won't be the end of it.

@Arkhairo Also, I think his movies in the last 15 years or so (with - maybe - the exception of Dunkirk) have been moving on a thematical trajectory that, starting from an emphasis on Man as inventor, explorer and creator, is beginning to simultaneously reflect on Man as creature.

I’m not sure how effective it will prove to be as a marketing strategy in this case, with so much anticipation, so much competition (I’m just a casual enjoyer of Villeneuve’s Dune movies, but I found the latest trailer impressive) and such a well-known subject matter.

I don’t think this trailer is among Nolan’s best or most effective ones. But it doesn’t necessarily mean the actual film won’t be among his best, or that it will even have the same feel as the trailer. Nolan likes to keep the “core” of his movies hidden.

@FrMatthewLC I understand why you’d be upset at the wording, but I think Gibson was talking more about the symbolic/visual impact of his own movie than about the events he’s portraying. “Passion” was bold, but reverent.

“Small is the dwelling, but smaller still are they that dwell here – for all who enter must be very small indeed, or of their own good wish to become as very little folk even as they stand upon the threshold.” From “The Book of Lost Tales: Part One”
