It's an Easter miracle!

I've only seen the Prestige once, but I find myself thinking back on it a fair bit, really. If I watched it again I wouldn't be at all surprised if it ended up being my favorite Nolan.

I'm inclined to think he's a better writer than director, but some of that may be good old Jonathan. And his casting is usually extremely good, undoubtedly.

He's sort of hard sci-fi in his approach, actually, but usually without the mountains of scientific details and exposition.

Someone (I want to say jmunney?) linked it last evening. There's no reason it can't be both, though!

His images have a certain, firm, solid quality to them, but I would argue this comes from him primarily conceiving of his images as intriguing ideas that occur to him, and then filming them in an almost documentary, perfunctory fashion. I.E, in Inception, what makes the house at the top of the skyscraper an…

Eh, he's not super visually distinctive, but still a hell of a lot more distinctive than Christopher Nolan, whose notion of the film image is largely that of a screenwriter, even in his good movies.

Sounds great.

Eh, Snyder is a more distinctive director in many ways than Nolan, if more of a vulgarian fuck up. Hard to call him a hack in comparison.

Is Root the Joker in this scenario?

Sunday evening would be nice, potentially.

Batman is the god of a satanic death cult. It all makes sense now.

Well, it would explain how she lulls her victims into a false sense of security.

I would be more inclined to believe Hillary regularly had her personal enemies killed if that claim wasn't coming so regularly from the right wing press. Bernie's not a Libyan or Iranian, so he's probably safe.

Why would prisoners respect or approve of Batman enough to murder anyone he wants them to?

I thought you meant our Birdie, in which case I was afraid for his very life!

Obama is secretly on Ted Cruz's side! I knew it all along. Ted Cruz's speech comparing Obama to Cataline was so over the top it had to be mere cover.

Oh. Still disappointing, but less so.

Wait, what? Why and how?
