Nolan's had a couple of missteps but to call him a fraud is ridiculous. Ofcourse he absolutely fucked it with Tenet, which is his only really genuinely shit film imo. TDKR has a bunch of memey moments absolutely but it's alright. Mid, innit.
The rest of his stuff is either really fucking good or just shy of it. Apart from Dunkirk. I don't really get what he was going for with Dunkirk.

Nolan gets too much shit yeah lol kind of wild. Not a big fan of his but I don’t get the hate.
Dunkirk is his best film don’t @ me

Nolan dialog writing process:
Do I need exposition to explain what a character is wearing when it's clearly obvious on screen?
1) Yes
2) Yes

Counter hot take: that's okay because he gave us wild sex scenes involving Jennifer Connelly, Natalie Portman, and Mila Kunis
By Adam Go To PostHot take: Aronofsky is an overrated hack.This is like the coldest take ever.
By Adam Go To PostHot take: Aronofsky is an overrated hack.This is big facts. Misery porn director. 🚮
Ridley Scott a super overrated director. One masterpiece and then a few p good films and lots of dull ones.
Inarritu has two Oscars for best director. Fraud. David O Russell trash too.
Villenueve is a little overrated by the internet I think. Makes lots of good films but isn’t God Emperor.
Kubrick has made some greats. The Shining is my favourite movie ever. Eyes Wide Shut is a masterpiece.
I guess some people think Scorsese is wildly overrated but not for me, Clive.
Andrew Dominik is underrated. Haven’t seen Blonde obvs but love love love his other movies.

I would say Inarritu and Nolan are overrated, one by the critics and the other by the internet nerds who at one point thought TDK was the best movie ever.
Dennis might be overrated by the internet crowd but he’s really fucking good so I have no qualms with that.

See How They Run was a decent auld romp. Director a big fan Wes Anderson fan. Didn't recognise Rockwell as the lead.
Thinking about Nolan, I think the echo chamber swung from being too effusive to being too scornful. Two big criticisms people always fall back on are the hokey dialogue (which people love to quote) and that he can't direct action (which Hollywood director outside of George Miller can?).

McQuarrie, Bay (yes), Cameron, Mann, Lin, Spielberg, the John Wick lads all come to mind as being better than Nolan at action.
I really like Nolan though. Interstellar GOAT
Que? Nolan's great at directing set pieces. Outside of Tenet, who claims he can't do action? Maybe a bit shit at hand to hand combat but his movies nail the big practical effect moments.
Even I wouldn't call him bad at action.

A few fluffed stunts here and there endlessly giffed is what people remember. Dunkirk a big step forward too.
Tenet the only bad film of Nolan’s career. Agree with Yen that the pendulum was originally too far one way and now it’s the other.

Fun performance by bud too.
Some great action movie lines that stick in the memory.
I saw Speak No Evil and The Innocents and liked them both. Innocents maybe slightly more altho the cat bit near the start almost made me abort it.
Emily The Criminal was gud too.
Emily The Criminal was gud too.
There's a kid at my school, who looks just like that evil girl in the innocents, who likes to put glass in her sisters shoes. I never turn my back on her.
Also that one scene in speak no evil was sensational at the cinema. Wasn't a lot there, but many of those who were there... We're not impressed haha

By Freewheelin Go To PostYep
Always liked Geena
for a long time i always mistook geena davis for gina mckee (one for the UK papangus). i was always very confused that an extremely famous american hollywood actor came from my town and that her mother worked with my nanna at what is now a Greggs.
By EldritchTrapStar Go To PostLooks good.No one would expect that Disney would be the company to bring back both the Predator and Hellraiser franchises to quality movies.
It seems like Hulu is about to be 2-0.
I am expecting to see people complaining about the new Pinhead being a trans woman when the original novel said that Pinhead was an androgynous person with a female voice.
From the trailer shown Jamie is nailing it.
I don't expect an uproar, if you didnt watch sense8, most people didn't, you wouldn't know who she was.
