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.

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.
