WHAAAAT????
Edit: oh wait, I thought I was on the Underwater thread. Yeah I can see that. Nolan has a blank check.

$200 million for "Underwater" would have really been something
I multi-tab lol
Queue Irish and his reasons of why this will be a terrible idea, no chance that anyone sees palindrome movies, etc.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
Honestly though, with how monopolized the theatrical film industry is, it would still feel refreshing if something like Underwater had that kind of budget.Quoting Irish (view post)
Hey! I've never said a bad word about any palindrome!Quoting Ezee E (view post)

I would be thrilled by that...but not for a movie that seems to be underpromoted and getting dumped in Q1.Quoting megladon8 (view post)
So Elizabeth Debicki totally dies in this, right? Maybe brought back to life, but the Nolan TM remains...
The Boat People - 9
The Power of the Dog - 7.5
The King of Pigs - 7
Medem's Los Amantes del cÃ*rculo polar is pretty wonderful, although after re-seeing it recently for the first time in more than fifteen years, I'm no longer convinced it's a masterpiece--in large part because the film's intricate narrative structure and formal patterning ultimately overwhelm its characters.Quoting Ezee E (view post)
Just because...
The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
Petite maman (Céline Sciamma, 2021) mild
The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild
The last book I read was...
The Complete Short Stories by Mark Twain
The (New) World
Nolan: so the entire movie is scenes but in reverse.
Crew: so the movie is...backward?
Nolan:No the scenes are forward, but the next scene is the scene before it.
Crew: fuck...we did it!
Nolan: okay so the movie is in dream layers where time gets more fuckered the more layers you go
Crew: you mean like...?
Nolan: also spin the whole set and the city rolls over too
Crew: holy shit!......we did it!
Nolan: ok so the movie is about space travel and relativity and time and gravity....
Crew: yeah we got this chris
Nolan: ALRIGHT YOU MOTHER FUCKERS

Yep, that's a Nolan movie.

The Nolan trailer that will finally make trans crack and run screaming into the night:Quoting transmogrifier (view post)
Nolan appears onscreen a la Hitchcock.
Nolan: "Time...."
Audience hold its breath.
Nolan: "...shenanigans."
Audience loses its mind. Several are crying in ecstatic joy. One person enters catatonia after telling someone to wake them when the movie premieres. In the distance, the low braaaamming peals of angels are heard.
"How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home wine-making course and forgot how to drive?"
--Homer
So...the bad guys are time travellers, whose actions appear to be in reverse to ours.
John David Washington has the ability to see and react to the future/past actions of these baddies, hence why he is able to "catch" bullets with his gun, and competently fight them?
This trailer has nearly undone all my predictions I posted about the first trailer. I think you're on the right course.Quoting megladon8 (view post)
Nice. I probably won't watch any further clips/trailers from here on.
COME ON DUKE...break your one rule....I can't figure out what the FUCKSTICKS Nolan is doing...
Can't wait to find out in October whenver this film comes out!
Match Cut put our heads together...we need some kind of bet to get Duke to watch the trailer 2. Number of deaths in next Alan Wake chapter?
Meaning...?Quoting transmogrifier (view post)
Character A: Let's talk about Christopher Nolan's films.Quoting StuSmallz (view post)
Character B: The British director Christopher Nolan, who made his debut with Following and then made a big splash with Memento?
Character A: That's right. That's the guy.
Character B: Oh, I like him. He also made the Batman trilogy with Christian Bale.
Character A: American Psycho Christian Bale? The guy who first came to the public's attention in Steven Spielberg's The Empire of the Sun, which was set during the Japanese invasion of China and based on the life of JG Ballard?
Character B: The very same. Anyway, you were saying about British director Christopher Nolan?
Character A: Yes, the movie director Christopher Nolan. Are you familiar with how a movie is made?
Character B: Walk me through it.
Character A: Well, often a movie will start with a screenplay. A screenplay is a piece of writing that acts as a template for a visual medium.
Character B: Like, words on a page?
Character A: Yes.
Character B: Wow. And these words describe the action and the dialogue of the intended visual medium, whether it be a movie or -
Character A: - or TV. That's right. Someone writes this screenplay and then the director directs it.
Character B: Directs it, meaning....?
Character A: You know, sets up the scene, guides the actors, makes the words come to life.
Character B: Not literally.
Character A: What?
Character B: Like the words do not literally come to life. That is a physical impossibility.
Character A: That is correct. It is a physical impossibility.
Character B: I knew it.
Character A: Anyway, as you mentioned earlier, these screenplays contain dialogue.
Character B: All of them?
Character A: Well, here's what's interesting - the screenplays for silent movies often do not have dialogue.
Character B: Huh, that makes sense I guess. So you were say-
TEN MINUTES LATER
Character A: ....... and the fact that his dialogue is banal and overly expository is one of the hallmarks of British movie director Christopher Nolan.
Character B: *stares pensively*

There should be something like that for Nolan detractors but it's a losing game.
