My b. I actually do admire Nolan's ability to conjure images, and clearly audiences do as well.

I think critics were in a great hurry to emphasize that pop culture doesn't affect us to avoid censorship, especially post- Columbine. But the thing is, it does affect us. Not in the stupid way that certain parties blamed Marilyn Manson for, but desensitization has absolutely affected us. Look at the market for gore…
