I read that to mean, f-you people in the Houston, Texas area.

Same for California, Florida, and probably still New York as well. The rest of you? I'm very jealous.

I have to say, Washington's head/face has looked slightly off in a couple of these posters...

Guy is a lock if they ever do a biopic of former Rockets coach Don Chaney.

Knock on wood, but the momentum seems real and it feels like Tenet will actually release according to plan this time. Eliminating NY and LA from the initial release strategy has seemingly finally freed it up to move forward...

Eliminating new York and LA seems like a good policy in general.

I think I just figured out how I'm going to see this movie.

While neat, hopefully he accounts for it with other effects. If anything I'd say he often under VFXs his movies especially with crowds and scaling. Dunkirk was supposed to have 400k men and supplies on the beach and at most there are a 500 in a given shot, same with the boats there were very few. The whole scale seems shrunk given the gravity of the event. Same with Dark Knight Rises, once you notice the football stadium is basically empty you'll notice it every time you re-watch it. Is it more threatening if Bane were to threaten a tarped quarter full baylor stadium or a sold out Kyle?

A cheap crowd effect would fix that and would be super easy to do given the budgets he can work with. I saw the prologue before starwars and 1st scene spoilers to follow: I don't remember an empty opera hall crowd, but it did seem emptier after the shootout began. Regardless that probably means I'll be watching for it when the movie premieres. Anyway I really appreciate his use of practical or real life effects(Inception's spinning hallway being the best example), but it wouldn't kill him to CGI the background when the setting calls for it. CGI for stuff like the folding city or exploding cafe in Inception is awesome!

Wasn't China putting a two hour time limit on new theatrical releases?

That's all so good. Especially the Batman audition part.

Okay now we need 3 versions of this movie. The theatrical cut, all of the forward takes, then all of the backwards takes.

When should we find out if we will be able to see this in Houston over Labor Day weekend?
