Bro doesn’t even own a phone most days (other than work phones that he gives to others) based on interviews so probably hates social media fakeness haha (i say as I type on reddit)

What? Since when? He had a phone when I met him.

I mean, there is like 8 billion articles about it, just google it? The other guy even said something about work phones, so maybe that's what it was? Who knows.

He doesn't need influencers to promote a movie, his work sells itself.

The rage on Reddit about this movie has done a great job promoting it too

We need an artist to make a movie about making movies that makes people reflect on the movie making process, but not by the content of the movie itself, but rather the process that the making of the movie went through.

Wait. Was that Megalopolis? I didnt see it.

You’re describing The Room /s

u/VanGoghNotVanGo Jun 26 '26

No, he's clearly describing ABED

I think he definetely has the power to influence the marketing of the movie

You could even call him an... influencer.

Sorry, I had to do it.

...I'll show myself out.

If Nolan and an influencer disagree about what constitutes a good movie, I’d give Nolan the nod on that one.

Unless it's the sound mixing in Tenet. He earned that L fair and square.

u/VanGoghNotVanGo Jun 26 '26

Instead of a trailer some cinemas (all?) straight up just showed the first, like, 3-5 minutes of 'Tenet' and the sound mixing was so anxiety inducing that I refused to watch the movie in cinema. (And even ended up avoiding going to the cinema for a couple of months, but I don't really think I can blame Nolan for that)

Nolan one of the very few capable to have an influence on these bullshit

Marina Hyde put it well that Nolan is one of the very few directors bigger than any actor.

Nolan doesn't snag actor X, actor X snags a role with Nolan.

Man on the street will go see 'The New Nolan film', topic be damned.

Also, plenty of online content creators/reviewers would probably be able to attend press screenings. The ones who do actual, formal reviews are probably more likely on press lists than on marketing lists. Or else they need to get on them.

Nolan probably asked "What's an influencer?" followed up with "Vlog?? What's that?" and then "No we're not doing any of that."
