Re: Sedai, Pyro Tramp and all the others who doubted Christopher Nolan

Meh, I'm super burned out on Pulp Fiction. I watched it like heck years ago, but now I'm not as into it.

Inglousious Basterds on the other hand, it's a classic to me. I had to watch it twice...

Both Resevoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction have pacing issues, IMO. I also don't think they've aged all that well.

The problem I have with Pulp Fiction in particular is there's a lot of scenes that just...

Maybe I didn't back off because Nolan's style has potential to get old pretty quick. Inception is a strong argument for this point. It's a film that could have been taken a lot more light-hearted,...

I'm more looking at it as his entire filmography, not individual film. I believe I'm the one who said I was worried about him being a one-trick-pony.

But, yes, I just feel exhausted all the...

Re: Sedai, Pyro Tramp and all the others who doubted Christopher Nolan

What about what I said?

Surely I can't be the only person who thinks watching his films is like shopping in a Hot Topic store, right? He's like emo-man on steroids.

I call BS on this. If commercial film wasn't art, there'd be no use for critics. The production companies exist to make money, but there are artists at work within that system. No one could be as...

Look, my name is "bouncingbrick". I'm at least up front about my hypocrisy, ok?

I'd say Taratino, despite also working in that crime-centric zone, shows far more proliferation than Nolan. Inglourious Basterds showed that, IMO. Yes, Tarantino is also in his comfort zone, but...

Yeah, it was familiar territory for him, but it was a lot of fun! And Nicholson was delicious, IMO.

I don't even think he changes genre at all. His films are all very similar in tone and theme. I like it, but it may get tedious down the road. I can't imagine a Howard Hughes biopick in the style...

I can buy that.



Eh, you can call it personal if you want, but a film about themes that most people understand and can relate to seems less personal to me. But, whatever.

Re: Sedai, Pyro Tramp and all the others who doubted Christopher Nolan

What a weird thread.

Is the debate about wether or not Nolan is a great director? Of course, he is. On a technical level, anyway. The man is a perfectionist to the nth degree. In fact, he...
