it remains an open question whether Tarantino will be able to answer these sorts of critiques without coming off like a pissed-off middle school science teacher in the process.

QT’s movies are filled with strong female characters. There are a lot of filmmakers you could side-eye in terms of female representation; it’s a reach to knock Tarantino on this front.

Probably my favourite Jackman role as well.

Criminally underappreciated movie.  My favorite from Nolan by a long shot, and one of my favorites altogether.

I agree he focuses on what he knows. I also see gay women making films about gay women and black people making films about the African American experience. I think it’s normal to gravitate to your comfort zone. What we need are more diverse filmmakers if we want more diverse films.

I thought it was clever. The three stories were equally important, and doing it the way he did allowed him to cut between them in a tense way, having them converge at a single moment. It could have been done more conventional, but I think it was a great choice personally.

The nesting doll thing is a complex structure, but I wouldn’t call it non-linear though. Honestly, the only two that stand out for that are Memento, obviously, and Dunkirk with it’s “1 week, 1 day, 1 hour” inter-cutting stories.

Look, are you going to support the writer’s narrative or not? Get out of here with your information...

Tut tut. The Prestige isn’t about secret twins, it’s about obsession.

It’s possible to generally like Nolan’s films while still being able to criticize the parts of them that don’t work and simultaneously recognize that telling non-linear narratives that work is more difficult than telling linear narratives. Not everyone is a butthurt fanboy or a cool hepcat contrarian hot-take…

“crutch”

There are, arguably 3 main characters in Interstellar. Two of the three are women. You may not have liked Anne Hathaway’s character or arc, but she was the 3rd most important character in the film.

Clearly Dimple Kapadia is playing a mole.

From like the non overly angry fanboy part of the fandom;

My observation is that people who were very invested in Daenerys’ character and journey were pretty upset and at least some people who felt the show was supposed to deliver some sort of “THIS ISN’T A FAIRYTALE” ending were reasonably satisfied (these are the people who spent the last week tweeting shit like “if you…

You know that scene in the Simpsons episode about Burns’ teddy bear, where at the end Homer asks Marge whether it was a sad ending or a happy ending, and she answers “It’s an ending, that’s enough”?

Nope. I personally take the very rare and controversial position that it was good, not the greatest, not the worst thing ever, just good.

And with that, GOT comes to an end.

Can I say something being the second oldest dude here? Game of Thrones premiered April 17, 2011. A sane man occupied the White House, the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell signed, Saddam Hussein dead, Occupy Wall Street, The HARRY POTTER movies ended, and Gabriel Giffords survived a senseless attack. The excitement…

Sooo..... does this mean we aren’t going to get Lady Stoneheart?
