Sony's cynical strategy with Foxcatcher has been pissing me off for so long now, that film was ready for LAST YEAR but they decided it was too prestige not to be whored out for awards and their slate of awards marketing was already full so they held it for an entire year only to utilize the stupid slow buzz build roll…

It seems a lot of people have skipped previous part 1's in favor of only paying for the finale, if the patterns of drop and big bounce back at the box office for Harry Potter and Twilight indicate anything.

True but it definitely had the potential to be improved on in film form, there's some decent ideas and heaviness to what happens to everyone and the cyclical nature of revolutions failing to truly improve life in there, it's just clear that as lame of an actual writer Collins was in the first two beyond page-turning…

Especially when your core creative team is made up of you as producer (when the creative producer on a film really should be a separate creative force to push back and bounce off of) and your wife as the other producer, and your brother as your co-writer.

Kids movies of similar level of appeal will always sell more tickets because of parents bringing kids. But for the record, Big Hero 6 is the more entertaining of the two.

It certainly is possible to have legitimate criticisms of things even if there's a hate-train leaving the station. His strength is most definitely not as a writer. He's always been guilty of having his characters' dialog do the heavy lifting of the exposition of his premises, but more and more it's obvious he's guilty…

I liked Nolan before he made Batman, and to a degree love his work since then, but the internet love fest for him from 2005 on was tiresome, so is backlash is the new normal, so be it. Neither one is probably objective, but at least a backlash shows the people see he has plenty of flaws finally.

Danny Boyle called making Sunshine/science fiction excruciating.

I don't see the Hollywood system churning out stellar dramas.

While I agree with the premise of Nolan not writing scripts, I disagree that he could direct a comedy regardless of who wrote it.

He's always wanted to make a Bond movie, would he settle for having a Bond villain based off of him?

Screw plot holes, there were plenty of other problems with Interstellar on top of the fact that his schtick has worn thin for me. I've been a fan since Memento but someone has to push him back, he's surrounded by an enabling team and a studio partner that loves that he makes money for them, no one seems to dare tell…

There's a difference between criticism, snark, and hate-train. And there are other ways to be successfully entertaining in between the Michael Bay end of the spectrum and the increasingly worn contriving and self-seriousness of Nolan's work these days.

I agree with the first thing you said, but to be fair to him I don't think that's what he meant with that part of the quote. To me that was saying filmmakers tend to be able to excuse problems with their work or people's takes on them because genre fare and spectacle gives so much distraction. But with a straight…

You make yourself so big, and take yourself so seriously, you're a target. Besides, newswire is essentially dedicated to snark.

For all we know Nolan implanted the idea in his head.

It's for the best anyway. Nolan would have to have the audiences tell you all the exposition necessary for each joke or gag before allowing them to land.

Some day people will learn that plot is not what made Fitzgerald great, but prose and theme. Until then executives and hacks will just keep "adapting" his work for the sake of marketing dress-up period pieces.

Before the wave of Disney-buyout mandated sequels I would have been excited for The Incredibles 2, around their highpoint of the 2007-2010 run, now I'll just see it with no expectations.

Yeah, I realized this was a mistake given the contest. Too late.
