I don't think you get it...Nolan is the reason to be excited. Period. End of story.

DDL could be an actor in a Dairy Queen commercial and it would be f'n epic

It was a long time ago when I watched. I should like the film. I need to rewatch it and watch There Will Be Blood - another person that is super popular on the M/TV board is PTA, who is also very hit and miss with me.
Maybe that will change when I finally get around to The Master.
But, Nolan is 100% for me - except the first and third Batman movies, which I don't fully blame him for.

Death Proof is one of his films that I hated. I also find Pulp Fiction to be somewhat overrated, thought the Kill Bill movies were average, thought Inglourious Basterds was good, and thought Django Unchained was great.

Love that character. I just don't understand how so many can anoint someone who has such a small resume' as the greatest actor alive. He hasn't really shown the range either to transition into other genres of film. Besides, Lincoln and TWBB were tailor made for him and Oscar fodder extraordinaire. That's not taking anything away from his performances in any of those movies. I just think it is a different sort of skill to be able to pump out good-great performances on an annual/semi-annual basis than get caught up in one character every blue moon.
AND I'm not even saying that he couldn't do it. I just don't think we will ever get the opportunity to see him broaden his scope, which would be very, very entertaining imo.
ETA: I am referring to recent works of his, not past works.

I really don't know how you call anyone "the best" either. He doesn't work like other actors thats for sure but as to range?
Abe Lincoln to Bill the Butcher?
Christy Brown(my left foot) to Hawkeye?
As good as anyone I think.

Nov 7th can't come fast enough.
Hopefully Christopher Nolan doesn't let his brother touch this project with a 10 foot poll.

I hate to even type this out on the M/TV board, but I'm not the biggest fan of DDL.

Well, its already finished filming, and yes Johnathon Nolan did do some of the writing

Who would even take such a poll? Two pages? Sure. But 10 feet of poll? Absolutely not.

I think Matthew Mcconaughey is supposed to function as a sort of a Chuck Yeager for interstellar flight. Other rumors are that it involves time travel and alternate dimensions.

nolan and fincher are the two directors that will have me at the theater opening weekend no quesitons aasked.

Nolan knows how to make big budget movies, but I find them just as vapid as any popcorn movie. Maybe this will be different.

Inception and The Prestige are both in my top 5 movie I've ever seen. I'm a huge, huge Nolan fan. Can't wait for this one.
Posted on 3/3/14 at 9:29 pm to The_Joker
The Prestige is his very best to date. Inception 2nd. Batman Begins 3rd.

I've only seen about 50% of this in a disjointed fashion, so, perhaps.

Perhaps. I have it second after Memento.

Really "meh" - certainly not even the best of the trilogy - The Dark Knight is the best of the three, and by a significant margin.

Is the Dark Knight only that good because of Heath Ledger's Joker performance? I think so.
