![]() ![]() The Phantom of Krankor ( Prince of Space) Ĭinema Insomnia has aired weekly on over 30 broadcast stations including KXTV ABC News10 ( Sacramento, Stockton, Modesto, California), KEJB 43 (Louisiana), KTEH 54 ( San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco)( Stanley 2007, p. 198), WOTH ( Cincinnati), and WAOH (Cleveland)( Duran 2005, p. 8-9).The Incredibly Strange Creatures (Band).Lady Skank'nstein ( The Horror House of Lady Skank'nstein).Chewchilla the Wookie Monster ( Hardware Wars).Lobo often has one-sided conversations with Miss Mittens, a houseplant. Lobo has often described himself by saying, "Imagine if you gave Rod Serling's job to someone who is totally incompetent." He acts as a spectral narrator broadcasting from a black void and his only connections to reality are the B-movies he presents. Lobo always appears on screen with a "70's professional" haircut, wearing "birth control" glasses and a black suit and tie. Also appearing are items such as fake commercials (such as one for "Rad Abrams – Skateboard Attorney" ), old movie trailers, classic commercials and footage and interviews shot at horror conventions, science fiction conventions, and film festivals in the Northern California area (the show is produced in Sacramento). Lobo does not appear while the movie is playing instead he appears in brief vignettes in between segments of the movie. Unlike the various hosts and robots of Mystery Science Theater 3000, Mr. Lobo opens each episode by promising to screen a well-known horror or science fiction classic (such as The Creature from the Black Lagoon or Alien) however budgetary limitations, acts of God or other circumstances invariably force him to show a much lower quality movie (such as Starcrash or Santa Claus Conquers The Martians). Only time will tell when audiences get to fully immerse themselves in another heart-racing story from the acclaimed filmmaker.Typically, Mr. Since the movie is set to center on one of the most controversial figures from a dark period in history, it will be interesting to see how Nolan plans to tackle such heavy themes in Oppenheimer. Needless to say, the movie will serve as a unique experience compared to other Nolan projects, with the film partially shot in black-and-white as well. Interestingly, despite being a film focused on the horrors of nuclear destruction, Oppenheimer’s R-rating doesn’t appear to reflect any violence, which could mean that the story will likely only focus on the dramatic side of the real-life figure. However, unlike Oppenheimer, the film was released with a PG-13 rating, which received some early criticisms due to its setting, which would have benefited from fully showcasing the brutalities of war. ![]() Nolan previously tackled the World War II era in 2017 with Dunkirk.

However, with the movie carrying a $100 million budget, word-of-mouth will be crucial to its box office performance, especially in a competitive summer movie season. ![]() While an R-rating does cut off younger audience members, it could serve as appropriate counter-programming to Barbie, which releases on the same weekend this summer. The upcoming film will be the first Nolan-directed feature to receive an R-rating since Insomnia, which was released over 20 years ago in 2002. And it appears that the acclaimed filmmaker is aiming for older audiences this time around, as Oppenheimer is officially rated R for “some sexuality, nudity, and language,” according to a recent teaser for the film. With the release of Oppenheimer just a little under two months away, it won’t be long before audiences get to experience another groundbreaking film from director Christopher Nolan. ![]()
