AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS CHRISTOPHER NOLAN IS A GENIUS?

[Duck Sauce]

I really don't think that in 1989 people knew or cared about who was making Batman

Why not?

Because there was no internet and a lot less widespread discussion about movies.

You may have forgotten there were other means of communication before the internet. And because there were less widespread discussions doesnt mean people cant disapprove of a director.

Yes, thank God for the Pony Express. And, how old were you, three, when Batman came out?

Ready for yet another Batman casting rumor? This one is way out of left field: Patrick Warburton may play the Caped Crusader. You may know Warburton as TV's The Tick or from his recurring role on Seinfeld as Puddy. (The Howard Stern Show)

LOL, this just gets better and better. "Feels like an Arby's night Alfred..."

Superhero Hype reports that Warners has purchased both BatmanTheFrightening.com and BatmanTheFrightening.net domain names, whilst an apparent review of the script has appeared online: "The fact that things are happening in his [Bruce Wayne's] head at the same time the story is actually taking place is done very well, and i really enjoyed the scenes when he is locked in Arkham and sees The Joker again.... it gave a good insight into Bruce's emotions as well when he thinks he has failed, and I love when he knows he is dying so he goes after The Scarecrow in more of a suicide mission. I liked the batsuit, and how it was almost a character in itself, and the Batmobile had a decent chase scene. I liked the quick little intro of Barbara Gordon. It fits Nolan's directing style like a black winged, leather glove".

Nolan should have his own category without a doubt, I mean if that pussy Cameron Crowe does. He gets one post a month. Some dork who talks about Fast Times or a chick who really likes the Elton John sign along in Almost Famous.

...that pussy Cameron Crowe...Some dork who talks about Fast Times or a chick who really likes the Elton John sign along in Almost Famous.

I don't like the fact that there is a category for him either.  But are you serious about what you just said?  I guess you're new.  Seriously though if you keep expressing opinions by calling people "pussies" well...you are defenitely going to have some problems with many on this board.  Anyway, I'm not trying to pick a fight, just some advice.

When do I get an upgrade from this "film editor" thing?

Nolan and Crowe should be without categories in my opinion, but at least Crowe has more movies than Nolan so there is more to talk about. What do you mean by "that pussy" Cemeron Crowe? That was some stupid shit to say.

Chris Nolan Takes a Position of Prestige

Memento helmer will direct The Prestige, an adaptation of the Christopher Priest novel at Newmarket. Variety reports that Disney and Warner Bros. are in negotiations to split distribution rights.

The script was written by Jonathan Nolan, Chris' brother who wrote the story that formed the basis for Memento. The story begins in 1878, as a seance hatches a bitter rivalry between two young stage magicians. Jude Law is rumored to be a frontrunner for one of the roles.

Nolan is expected to next direct Batman, a franchise he is in the process of resurrecting at WB with screenwriter David Goyer. The scripting has begun, but "Prestige" may be filmed first.

No, you're not the only one who thinks Chris Nolan is a wonderful filmmaker.  And Insmonia was fantastic aswell as Memento, I thought.

[TenseAndSober]

I don't think Insomnia was that bad...it was a good story and idf you put yourself in the Dorman characters shoes, you might have developed insomnia the way he did.  But Memento was fucking incredible.  Whats next for Chris Nolan?

[MacGuffin]

Whats next for Chris Nolan?

Umm...go back three spaces than go to page three for the Batman announcement.

[abbey road]

yes memento and tha following were genius, but insomnia was embarringly stupid, and i think until he can show he's not a 2 hit wonder hes not a genius.

[godardian]

I enjoyed both Memento and Insomnia for what they were, but I wouldn't call Nolan a "genius."

I haven't seen The Following.

ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING...

According to E! Online it seems that not only is Ashton Kutchner a candidate for the role of Batman, he is in fact the ONLY candidate. Seems that "when now out director Brett Ratner got close to casting Superman this year, he tested and retested Kutcher, who apparently did well. The "known mostly as a comic actor and that's even a stretch" Kutcher seemed to want Bats over Supes (who wouldn't?) and is now close to being announced as the lead in the flick to be directed by Christopher Nolan". This rumour was backed up by a report from DH insider 'Turncoat' who elaborates a bit more on the situation - "Christopher Nolan wants Guy Pearce. I think that's about the extent of it. Essentially, the studio has had another 'Ratner' situation on their hands, because the director wants someone, and the studio wants someone else. That someone the studio wants is Ashton Kutcher. Thankfully, it's not as big a deal as the whole Superman thing [which has been madness], because in this place everyone gets along - and from what I hear Kutcher is the new Batman. Done deal".
