Shall we discuss some directors? As we are all, so Iām told, waiting with baited breath for āTenetā this summer, it makes sense for us to start with Nolan.
Feel free to rate Nolan as a director too, thatās a good idea right?

Letās see how this goes. So, what do you think of, I donāt know, The Dark Knight Returns?
watched the prestige recently and thought it was great fun
reckon he should only be allowed to make films about old timey magicians etc. rather than men in suits having dreams about other men in suits
I donāt get on with him at all. HATE Memento, couldnāt give a fuck about Batman, most of the others bore me. Really did like Inception at the time but havenāt seen it since, probably wonāt as I like the memory. The Prestige is pretty good.
Iām glad he exists. Someone who actually values the act of seeing a film in a place designed for watching films being as powerful within the industry as he is can only be a good thing as far as Iām concerned.
I also think his films are largely great for what they are. People hate him for that āfilms that stupid people think are cleverā thing but I think that making big blockbusters that are somewhat thought provoking that also make a fucking shittonne of money is a valuable thing for the industry.
A lot of Michael Mann rip-off stuff (which he cops to tbf) and Iād imagine heās a bit of a dickhead but I think heās broadly a force for good.
I donāt think there are many people worse at writing female characters mind you and āI need some sort of sad motivator for my protagonistā¦ I know, a dead wife!ā is getting way beyond parody now.
Memento 3/5 Insomnia 4/5 - really nails the feeling of insomnia Batman Begins - 4/5 The Prestige -3/5 The Dark Knight -5/5 Inception -4/5? Maybe? Need to rewatch The Dark Knight Rises -2/5 Interstellar -3/5 Dunkirk -3/5
