To be fair, its edited together pretty well. And if anybody was going to drop a real nuke for their movie, it'd be Christopher Nolan. Or Tom Cruise. Or Lars Von Trier.

There are a lot of people out there, right now, who think Nolan created and dropped an actual nuke for the movie. Like, it's so out there in the public discourse, I'm only 99% sure he didn't at this point.

Like, I know he obviously didn't. Of course he didn't. But maybe....?

Hahah I mean of course he didn't. But I think they definitely have talked about trying to film a huge explosion to try to capture what they could in camera. So I figured they are trying to just create something as large as they can that has the physical characteristics without being radioactive of course.

Most explosives used in a film appears to be the (terribly filmed) Spectre’s big explosion thing when the base blows up and that used a total of… 140 kilograms. So about 0.15 tons of explosives. Trinity was 18kilotons.

You’d need…. Jesus you would need a gently caress load more than that. Best you could possibly get away is hoping the army is doing a bomb test and you get to film / use it but I think only someone like Michael Bay could get away with that ask.

Oh I mean it'd 100% have to be a military coordinated thing. That's a given. I'm not talking an SFX unit.

With Alex Baldwin being charged for shooting that woman, it does make me think how American it is that guns are allowed to be aimed and fired at people just for the sake of a movie and that the ultimate parody of that logic would be yeah sure, you can detonate a nuke for a biopic. Now you stand a good ways back from that, y'hear? This ain't no 4th of joo lie firecracker.

The thing about nuclear bombs is they already detonated like two thousand of them and none of them were used for anything as worthwhile as making a cool scene in a movie.

maybe i missed something in the edit. its just a video about "hey we are making a big thing" and the title says nuke but the quotes are "wow what an experience". idk it just didnt work for me. i wish it had cause fake blowing up a nuke for a movie would have been kinda cool

but yeah cruise would absolute fire off a nuke if he could jump on it or something

but they did. that is to say, both the americans and soviets fired off dozens of unannounced nukes during the cold war, the only reason they didnt put them in movies was state secrets.

I've read two of Tremblay's novels (Head Full of Ghosts and Disappearance at Devil Rock) and really enjoyed them. The premise of Cabin didn't really interest me, but I'm intrigued for the film after seeing the trailer.

I think it's cool that Dave Bautista has said that he really wants to see how far he can push his dramatic acting chops. I think a hurtle he has in doing that is that he looks like Dave Bautista. There was that line in the first trailer about him being a just a normal guy. My thought was, "Have you seen yourself in the mirror? You don't look like a normal guy." His image worked to his benefit in Glass Onion, but I think if he really wants to do more dramitic stuff he'll probably have to dial back his body a bit.
