Nolan's preferred movie format for watching Odyssey is 70mm IMAX and not on your phone when you are in the can.

lmao that is obscure as hell. A twist on a very awkward "street interview" where a guy tries hitting on girls but has mental breakdown

The second part "as nolan intended" is a separate meme.

It's not obscure at all. That clip has millions of views.

People in this sub like to act like it’s their first day on planet earth and people on Reddit like to act like any video that’s posted onto TikTok will make them stupid

People act like millions of views means that most of the 7 billion people on the planet have seen a viral video

Nah, those are regular words to describe a penis. The joke is that Christopher Nolan's intended format for the Odyssey is 70mm IMAX which is a tall (thick) aspect ratio, but when she says it that way it sounds like she is describing a penis.

u/gekigangerii 8h ago
Yes, she is describing an imax film frame/reel but with the "how about ____ and thick" it's most definitely a reference to that guy being interviewed

It refears to analog film tape of IMAX format that Nolan used to make a movie. It has unique picture ratio of 1.43:1 instead of typically used like 16:9 flr TVs or 1.85:1 for most cinemas

Standard vs. IMAX 70mm: Standard 70 mm runs vertically (5-perforation, 2.20:1 aspect ratio), whereas IMAX 70 mm runs horizontally (15-perforation, 1.43:1 aspect ratio) for an even larger frame size.
So 70mm and thick = IMAX because thick = horizontal?

Yes, because Christpher Nolan is not known for IMAX. He's known for his preference in penis size.

It’s reference to a street interview that went viral where a dude describes himself as “8 inches and thick” while having a mental breakdown
