i honestly don't find this that absurd.
a lot of spielberg movies i may have nostalgic ties to but i find that the older i get the less his filmography interests me. more than a few of his films have dated pretty poorly.

All I know is that Spielberg could make Inception, but Nolan doesn't contain the deft humanity in his work that's required to pull off something like Munich or Empire of the Sun. Nolan is all plot, no heart with his films and his characters (the closest being my favourite of his - The Prestige). Which is fine, because I love Nolan's films - but when you try and compare him to Spielberg don't be surprised if some spit lands in your face while my mouth flaps open in a display of desperate gasps for air.

I would have prefered "Shadow of the Bat" and my top picks for villians would be either Mad Hatter, Scarface/Dummy, or Hugo Strange.

They're both only okay anyway.
This is a poor and totally unevocative title, by the way.
What an incredibly lame title. Ah well, the only thing that would kill the hype for me would be news of Robin appearing.
I still think Nolan should make Gotham City darker again. He could do some really cool stuff with a really gritty and dark Gotham. With Black Mask/Clay Face/Hush/Cat Woman
Almost Sin City style Batman or something. A 1970's New York style Gotham - the way it really should be. It would have been cool to put Gotham in the title in some way as well actually. A man can dream I guess. A man can dream.

and an R Rating.

Fuck all that noise (not really, I'd like to see the Narrows again).
Let's get the return of Thomas Wayne happening!

like tears in rain.. nolan titled it "the dark knight rises"
The existence of the possibility is inarguable. Spielberg did what he did deliberately, you honestly think he didn't realise the implications of the scenes he was including right BEFORE the end of the movie, which presents a pretty staggering tonal shift?jett said:
I wouldn't be surprised about Nolan not knowing about what is being implied in his own movie (after all he admits to having no idea whatsoever about the supposed movie making allegory in Inception) but Spielberg is beyond that.
Dead said:
Not knowing your own script is a little different than not knowing whatever metaphors would-be film critics like to conjure up.
That's like saying Fincher doesn't know about what Fight Club is implying because he wasn't aware of the Calvin and Hobbes allegory people came up with.
It doesn't plant the idea. It dangles it in front of the audience with a carrot stick before slamming to the credits.StuBurns said:
Planting the idea would involve the film ending on a normal note, with audiences subsequently second guessing what they have just seen the more they reflected on the movie without having to be led. (and of course without being led, theres no reason to reflect on what really happened in Inception, since the actual events, bar some of the convoluted minutia, is pretty straight forward.)
How can you possibly say it doesn't plant the idea? We're talking about it, everyone was talking about it, it'll essentially be the only thing people ever talk about in reference to the film going forward.Dead said:
It's not subtle if that's what you mean, but I didn't claim it was.

See not everyone necessarily agrees with this. I've seen several films this year alone that I found to be better and more enjoyable than Inception-- but that's just my opinion. Just like with The Dark Knight, I'm finding that Nolan is getting put on this pedestal that I just don't believe exists just yet. Scullibundo mentioned getting in an argument with someone who was trying to compare Nolan with Spielberg and I've had similar conversations. This makes me weep, truly.
Rises? why the hell not go with Returns? It doesn't makes sense, its so logical. You can't put Rise in a title without it sounding so uninspired and tacky.
This is already putting my hopes down cause 3rd movie in a trilogy is usually bad and the franchise reached its peak with Dark Knight. If the movie is at least half decent I'll be happy.

Even outside of the story, Minority has much more interesting characters, a more developed world and despite Pfister's great work, is better shot than Inception. Janusz <8
Dead said:
I don't think it's hard to see why people are putting him up on the pedestal.
Memento, The Prestige, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Inception, I think those 5 films are pretty damn great. I'd easily rate him among the top directors of the last decade.
I agree that he's not on this pedestal yet, he'd probably need many more years of making film before he can even be compared with Speilberg. I think he's well on the way to it though.

It's pretty awesome that the same people dogging on Nolan in this thread are all about Cameron and Avatar in that sequel thread.
