I've noticed you like saying "all that" in this thread recently.

I wonder if you're negatively stimulated in response more to the hype about Nolan than about his supposed qualities (or detractions) as a director? He may not be "all that" *fingers snap*, but he made a few movies I liked.

Not to delegitimize your emotions, but I must admit there is currency here. The obnoxiously loud Nolan=Kubrick, Nolan=Spielberg comparisons are either ignorantly daft or just the usual mass fanboy nation simultaneous jerk off. But we can't be victims of noise as they are.



With more votes in, both will fall way way way down. That's what happened to DARK KNIGHT, and any new highly praised/popular movie initially for that matter.

Incidentally, INCEPTION and TOY STORY 3 are the only mainstream mass-release American movies I've seen in the last 3 months that I would actually consider worth watching. I might have added IRON MAN 2 too at one point, but that one quickly fades in memory to the point of watchable irrelevance. Like most television.

How is my pretentious prose?
