You'll see bro. You'll f'n see. I got news from you on the Nolan front. He says, "pwnd GoRB, pwnd."
Also, Clint Eastwood just contacted me, and he says, "U Gay Bro?" True story. |
What has Nolan contributed to cinema? I'll give him kudos for Memento, but he's either a one trick pony or he made it into the Hollywood elite and got lazy and turned into an asshole. It's not really hard to get a good performance out of Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Al Pacino, Robin Williams, or David Bowie. Heath Ledger came up with his own idea for the Joker, so he can take 100% of the credit for that performance to the grave. The greatest thing Nolan's done was to convince a studio to let a young hotshot nobody make a Batman movie. But let's see him make An Apocalypse Now or A Clockwork Orange, or anything that remains culturally relevant ever. We'll wait and see if we have a new generation of directors saying they're influenced by Nolan instead of oh say... Terry Gilliam (take that onyx). Hollywood died when Coppola's career gave way to Lucas and Spielberg. There's an artistic vacuum in America right now, and Nolan isn't filling it with Batman movies and remakes. Our greatest work now is coming out of foreigners like Takeshi Kitano, Peter Jackson, and Alfonso Cuarón, or domestic wackos like David Lynch, who is ten times the director Nolan will ever be.
