The Cinematic Motion Picture News Thread

[Rangi Guy]

I goddamn love Chris Nolan. And I goddamn love Cillian Murphy. And I goddamn can't wait for this movie to come out. And I goddamn want to see it in 70mm.

[BurtReynolds]

stop cursing!

You can argue with Nolan all you want, but nobody shoots like him anymore. He is one of a kind.

There is nothing interesting about the way he shoots at all.

Thats your taste taking. And its ok.
But the scope of his movies is something thats lost in modern cinema. And that, my friend...is a fact.

Plenty of Hollywood movies have huge scopes. That's kinda their thing.

Like Nolan?

Not at all. You cant say that his movies are similar to the marvel ones or sw.

What's so special about him? His detached, emotionless, impersonal, Mann wanna-be aesthetic? Not impressed.

I don't give a shit about Nolan, but I'm interested in the subject matter and I'm continually surprised by the number of Americans who don't know a damn thing about it. Truly one of the most remarkable feats in modern warfare.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Verm's critique here is fair enough, and while I am mostly a Nolan fan, I can definitely see what he's saying. But then I'd argue that Memento and Insomnia both succeed largely because of the detached, emotionless aesthetic; those are both part of the characters and narrative. But it becomes more problematic with some of his later works.

I haven't seen Memento or Insomnia in years, but yeah, my recollection is that he didn't really start to suck until Batman Begins.

[epilogue]

I don't find the Batman films to be detached. And Inception certainly isn't emotionless. Or detached. Yeah, I'm just not sure I can endorse that point of view.

[LoathedVermin72]

Nolan movies are as bland and boringly "serious" as they come.

[epilogue]

Nolan makes incredible movies that stick with the viewer long after the film has ended.

[LoathedVermin72]

[LoathedVermin72]

Watching a Nolan movie is like staring at a glass of lukewarm water.

[epilogue]

I might watch every Nolan movie tonight. In a row. Back to back.

[LoathedVermin72]

Well you'll be very hydrated at least
