Memento is great but I don't particularly enjoy rewatching it.
Insomnia is super underrated. I love Robin Williams so much in it.

Insomnia is super underrated. I love Robin Williams so much in it.
I argue Memento and Dunkirk are his best films.
Tho The Prestige is the best in terms of re-playability. My issues with Prestige is some of the editing really takes me out of it and Scarlet Johansson is pretty meh in the role.
But I say his 3 best films are Memento, Prestige and Dunkirk.
Weren't they giving him a blank check to adapt The Fountainhead before he dove into the Snyder Cut madness?

Well I didn't care for TDKR and found Interstellar just okay. Dunkirk was phenomenal (Personally). I'm pretty excited for Tenet. Especially with a new set of crew helping him out.
Depending on where you fall on Blackkklansman, you have to give it some credit since it did inspire Nolan to cast his first black lead/protagonist
If you don't like his work, fine, but there's no reason for the childish name calling
Speaking of pieces of cinema that's going to lose money.
What's the expectations for this next week?
Reminder, Universal thought Cats was better suited for Christmas than this was.
It will do little.
As an 'MCU stan' (in that I very much enjoy Marvel Studios' output so far) I am also a big fan of Raimi's Spider-man 1 and 2 but I don't agree at all with the opinion that Raimi's films are better than some of the MCU's finest. They were fantastic for their time but a lot of their elements don't hold up in 2020.
Gee it's almost like Snyder doesn't care and is stirring the hornets nest because the fans that do odd stuff like fly #SnyderCut banners over the WB lot as well as #SnyderCut ad campaigns during ComicCon. Are the same ones that host campaigns and fundraisers for a suicide awareness charity. Can't imagine why the man would want to signal boost people like that no sir.
Wasn't there some news that the Snyder Cut's CGI cost would be something like 100 million dollars, so there's no way WB will fund it, bacause the movie tanked already.
I mean you have people in here being snide celebrating it crossing 1 billion even though it's going to be the lowest grossing, least critically and audience approved of the three by some margin. Must be Disney stockholders?
MCU stans en masse don't shit on 1 and 2. Its generally agreed that the trilogy was a fun take on the character from a great film maker but not the definitive version. The 'seething hatred' aka annoyance comes from people bringing up the Raimi trilogy as if its the Old Testament and any new film with a different take from their childhood is sacrilegious.
Imagine if the Robert Pattinson Batman movies are well reviewed/liked but the bulk of the discourse was " in the Burton movies Alfred wouldn't do that." Or " the last movie showed Bruce's parents get killed in crime alley. If we don't see it on screen or Bruce doesn't do a monologue how will know his motivations?"
The usual arguments I see are about the campy elements, the miscasting of Peter and MJ and some deviations from the source material.
Star Wars is a great property and world and I'd love to see more talented developers work on it.
Like, I love that Christopher Nolan works on original films like Memento, Inception and Tenet. But having his mind on Batman was a thrill for the ages. Rian Johnson is young; he has plenty of time to continue to do original movies as well.
It's poetry. It rhymes.
Lucas made three movies that were not really good in the prequels. The childhood ruining hyperbole was unfortunate and immature from a bunch of adults. I got two great sequels out of Disney, so I'm quite happy with it and am really looking forward to seeing what's next.
I think some just need to come to grips with the fact that if they're looking for a repeat of the OT, just watch the OT. Things change, new Star Wars media will be created, and if you don't like a new movie, it shouldn't ruin the others for you.
I do think it would be healthy for Star Wars to shave off the toxic fans. They're not needed.
Memento is the one I've replayed the most. I lost track of how many times I've watched it, but it's been far more than The Prestige. It's a marvel of a movie in so many ways and one of my favorite movies to introduce to people.

Its absolutely amazing in all the wrong ways, definitely go see it.
I gotta see this fucking movie.
I'll be honest and say that Dolittle totally has that air around it of a film everyone's writing of before release because they didn't like how it looks in previews, but that'll somehow end up with a RT in the 75-80% range.

It's also a movie that the studio had a new director basically remake most of it, so 🤷♂️
Watching it Wednesday, followed by Little Women and Jojo Rabbit in Thursday. Can't wait!
He also has a first look deal with them and is still producing DC films.
Watch out! Next week we will probably see Endgame start it's Oscar bump run at theaters for it...

Which it will lose as it's the 3rd most deserving film from Disney in that category.
