His post to quote ratio has gone up significantly since the...creation of "kswiston". How do you explain that?

P.s. you see Dunkirk yet?

I came first! 12 years and counting.

 

[DMczaf]

Haha damn, I got in from California at 4:00 am and I'm not as sharp as I needed to be to take you head on.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I might actually check out Valerian tonight. Always been a sucker for space operas.

Seeing it in 3D? I would imagine a few set pieces that would look great in it, if they actually utilized it well.

 

[Bronx-Man]

i ain't made of money

 

[BronsonLee]

DON'T WORRY FAM I GOT U BRONX

[DMczaf]

Bronx hasn't been in the same room as money since 2008

 

[Toa TAK]

Skip 3D

IT'S AN AUDIENCE TAX

But mostly a tax on my wallet. *rimshot*

 

[Chamber]

I want my $1.49 after seeing Valerian.

Hmmm. Maybe you're not so bad after all, Bronson.

 

[Nightwing123]

Those are great numbers for Dunkirk and Girls Trip. I really like Dunkirk so this makes me happy and I'll probably end up watching Girls Trip later.

 

[Toa TAK]

I feel like Valerian would benefit more as a Saturday Morning cartoon.

If that makes any sense.

Looks like I was right about Girls Trip, and wrong about Dunkirk. The brand of Nolan, and rave reviews helped overcome what I thought would be less appealing subject matter to Americans.

Damn, Nolan is damn near invincible.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

It's crazy how much of a draw Nolan's name has become.

 

[broncobuster]

But Mr.Nolan's Heaven's Gate was prophesied.

 

[berzeli]

Luc Besson must have a shit load of money because there is no way this is making it all back.

1) Taken.

2) Apparently they've done pretty well with pre-sales with Valerian. Though that was also said of Gods of Egypt and I think that one still lost quite a bit of money.
("fun" fact: Gods of Egypt went straight to DVD in Sweden)

So he's not entirely fucked.

 

[Sulik2]

I gotta see Dunkirk Nolan just doesn't make bad movies.

More like this generation's Speed Racer.

A top five family film of all time and a lollipop for the eyes?

Couple hours ago thinking Dunkirk 22, I think for now I'll keep it at that, GT 13, Val 6.5 , SMH 6, Apes 5.5

Gonna have to call the next movie "The End of the Planet of the Apes"

 

[BronsonLee]

I am proud to have finally come around on Speed Racer in that I think it's fucking garbage now and really violent/sweary for no reason

 

[Guzim]

He feeds us dammit.

 

[Chamber]

So Apes is really dropping 68% this weekend? Damn...

Been planing on seeing it since I've watch both previous movie but It hasn't had a good word of mouth around my group of friends.

My sisters found it comical. My friends say it's just okay but predictable. Just to wait for a rental.

Dude. No no no no. None of what they are saying is even remotely true nor even close to how this movie has been received by critics. It is WIDELY considered the best of the 3. Did you not see how overwhelmingly positive the reviews are?

 

[BumRush]

In my opinion, he's never made a bad film and is one of the few directors whose films I will actively make sure to see in the cinema. I'm not as crazy as some folks are but I've never felt like I've wasted money on one of his movies.

I think Valerian beats out Dunkirk the weekend both premiere here in America with Spider Man still being number 1 in it's 3rd weekend, or War for the Planet of the Apes edging out the top spot in it's 2nd weekend.

How DARE you

 

[Random Human]

Is Nolan the only director whose name seems to boost a movie's box office notably? Even Spielberg can't seem to do this anymore.

 

[Prompto]

Is Nolan the only director who's a box office draw these days? Even Spielberg just had the BFG be a flop.

Edit: woah our questions are nearly identical

Not the same level but it seems like James Wan consistently gets horror fans to turn out. He's managed to launch three different hit series in that genre.

Why do you think Inception was such a huge hit? It had a director who can draw crowds and one of the few actors who can draw crowds.

 

[DMczaf]

Is there anything above blank check that WB can give Nolan at this point?

 

[Mrbob]

I would assume he has full reign to do whatever he wants now unless he does something weird like The Shape Of Water.

Heck he might even be able to make something like that successful.

Tarantino.

 

[Mrbob]

Tarantino is like the Kevin Smith equivalent of Nolan though.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Tarantino is like the Kevin Smith equivalent of Nolan though.

But he has more talent.

 

[hodayathink]

Keys to the studio, maybe?

To be real, maybe some type of executive position within the studio, if he wants it?

 

[Chamber]

Yeah, for me, Nolan and QT are the only directors that will automatically make me watch a movie.

 

[lightskintwin]

LMAO

I have never experienced a film where the word of mouth has been so bad compared to the praise by critics and the internet communities. No one I know that have seen it liked it, even fans of the previous two films. Obviously the group of people I know aren't representative for the global market, but still.

Still want to see it though.

 

[J_Viper]

In a perfect world, Tarantino would direct Suicide Squad 2

 

[PhoncipleBone]

In a perfect world, Tarantino would direct Suicide Squad 2

What obscure cult movie from the 70s would he ape for it?

Edit: Make Suicide Squad 2 a big budget remake of Petey Whitestraw

Nothing I've seen from the movie tells me it's gonna have anything close to his personal brand of humor or outlook. He's a fun interview tho.
