You may see me as that but I really don't see how I can be equated with a hater when their whole premise is putting down others for liking/disliking something they don't agree with. I never claimed all his movies are perfect and need to be held as such.
You don't see the same crap from the same group of people in every Nolan thread?
The same BS brought up over and over as if its exclusive to Nolan or his movies?
I'm just countering it because it becomes damn hard to read these threads when the same people shit it up all the time and then act like their opinion is some gold standard to judge all movies by. Even if it contradicts completely with both commercial and critical success.
You don't like Inception? Or TDK or TDKR? Ok fine. But don't then tell me that I like it because the movie itself is trying to trick me into thinking its smart when really it isn't. Or that I enjoy it because I don't get movies, pacing, acting, or characterization while at the same time in other threads praise movies that also fall victim to the same tropes, broken logic, or whatever else it might be.
Don't try to put down the audience that did enjoy the movies by claiming you have superior taste. What worked for others didn't work for you. That doesn't make them dumber or you smarter. Especially because if there is any measure of success or quality of a movie (and there isn't) it would be based on a combination of critical and commercial reception.
And I've pointed out things I don't particularly like in his movies either but I just see a lot of talking down to people disguised as high level criticism. Then the same people will turn around and gloss over the same elements they cry about in other movies that they enjoy.
If this makes me the equivalent of a hater but on the other side then so be it.
Not really outside the internet.

Solo is a Fringe fan. He really has no business calling out anybody's taste in anything.
Why are either of those contrived?
The focus of the movie was that dreams were indistinguishable from reality and thats why they are so dangerous. Thats much more intriguing that kooky 100 foot clowns and dancing pink elephants movie but I guess most people imagine dream plot and expect that.
And the human focus argument is bullshit, look at either Memento or Prestige.
Fringe? Really?
jett is also a Fringe fan. And a Cloud Atlas fan.
Hmmmmmm...............
I'm a fan of the first three seasons only, I acknowledge the last two seasons have been ass. Cloud Atlas is just okay-ish for me, though. Is Cloud Atlas not viewed well around here?
How will this be more like the Prestige or Momento? Those two movies are completely different to begin with anyway and this movie's subject matter lends itself far more to an inception like grand movie.
And my god I hope its like Inception which was fucking amazing outside of the usual critic gaf that shits on everything after jerking off to it at first. "Ohh I didn't like them explaining shit... for you see its boring and I'm so smart I figured it all out 5 minutes into the movie"...followed by a 100 page thread asking questions about the movie they couldn't follow or understand. "...how come all the members of the heist team didn't get full exploration of their characters? I can't appreciate this I don't know what their motivations are...I enjoy far superior product like John Carter or Speed Racer than this crap!"
Bravo effzee, good to see somebody call out those elitist assholes. Liquid was right on the money when he said TDKR was on par with Lawrence of Arabia and Citizen Kane. I don't get why people were deriding posts like that and acting as if their own opinion is somehow fact.
Thank you sir. I meant it. I think 30 years from now it will be looked at as an amazing achievement that was far ahead of its time.
tdkr was the worst of any batman movie ever.
Dude don't lose face or credibility with a statement like that.
So Jonathan Nolan's writing credits are
Memento
Prestige
Dark Knight
Dark Knight Rises
Person of Interest
Damn!
Now a few more details have surfaced regarding Interstellar, chief of which is that Christopher Nolan will be writing the script himself in order to incorporate an original idea of his own.
The report also has a more revealing logline for the film, noting that the film will depict a heroic interstellar voyage to the furthest borders of our scientific understanding. The deal is being set up at Paramount with Chris Nolan, Emma Thomas, and Lynda Obst producing, but Nolans longtime studio Warner Bros. will also be in the fold as a co-production partner with Paramount. Thorne will remain onboard as a technical consultant.

I do see it, but you have to understand that it happens more for Nolan films simply because (for better or for worse) Nolan is by far the most popular director on GAF. The bigger you are, the more people that talk about you, the more critics you will have.
You may be a dirty Eagles fan, but you speak truth every time.
Except when it comes to the Eagles.
Cool, let's see if he's going to improve after Inception.
Any idea when this might come out?
