      I loved interstellar. Brilliantly nerdy and emo at the same time. And I enjoyed the pacing, how it was almost two separate parts.

        I need to see Dunkirk — I think I get ornery when he tries to pack too many lofty concepts into a movies that just can't be proper enough vessels, and there's definitely less of that problem when he goes historical vs scifi. Passed on Tenet because I was so annoyed by Inception and Interstellar, figured it'd be more of that same frustration. BUT, not to say that I wouldn't go back and give them another chance sometime.

        Of course I loved Memento and the Batman series minus the shitty Bane one. The Prestige is one of my favorite movies ever...

        Saw a thing on IMDB or maybe Rotten Tomatoes recently where they held a "tournament" on who was the greatest modern (living?) director. Came down to Nolan and Villeneuve, and I found myself nearly yelling "VILLENEUUUUUUUVE" at my laptop screen, haha. Nolan won.

          +1 on The Prestige (and +100,000 on the book on which it’s based)

            @jerkules did you ever read Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell? Similar competitive magicians theme, really loved it. I somehow didn't realize the Prestige was based on a book, so I'll definitely be having a look at that...

              Yes to the Prestige. I tried to watch Interstellar just the other day but McConaughey kind of ruined it for me because I’m suffering from “McConaughey overexposure syndrome “. So I couldn’t finish

                @SKT this is a very real syndrome, hopefully will be some kind of treatment available soon

                  @popvulture I didn’t read that book, although I do remember a UK TV adaptation that believe had Paddy Considine. Was pretty good, should check out the book.

                  And yeah, the author of the Prestige (Christopher Priest) is one of my favourite authors. He had a bit of success in the 70s with a couple of new wavey sci-fi novels. Unusual ideas, maybe not too much emotional depth. From the 80s onwards he moved away from sci-fi but remains unconventional in the best possible way. His novel The Affirmation was probably my favourite book for most of my 20s. Read it a few times, but have been scared to in recent years in case it doesn’t strike the same chord.

                    I wasn’t bored for one minute during “Oppenheimer” but then again there were toddler interruptions and the viewing was broken up a bit accordingly. For me it’s Nolan’s best yet.

                    Think it, be it.

                      I was bored for most of Oppenheimer sorry to those who liked it. I think Richard Brody from the New Yorker described it appropriately as a history channel movie. Not so boring that it isn't worth watching, but definitely not energising.

                            Just watched Barbie, it was brilliant. I fear though the ultimate irony will be that it gets beat out at the Oscars by Oppenheimer… a film made by a man about a man who LITERALLY invented world destruction. Sorry Barbie.

                              One of my buddies was an extra in Barbie. They didn’t even tell them what they were filming. He was on the bus with all the other extras and some guy comes on and says “we need 3 men in suits”. He was in a suit so he got up. Gets told to walk down a corridor, the doors are going to burst open, and basically just keep walking. He says he damn near shat himself when Margot Robbie bursts through the double doors and goes running past him. (Haven’t seen it but apparently it was part of Barbie’s escape sequence.)

                              Take the dive...

                                Just finished Poor Things. Highly recommended… along the lines of a twisted Benjamin button/Edward scissorhands.

                                      I'm psyched to see it, just waiting til I can rent/stream — seems like buying's currently the only option, no?

                                      (or seeing in a theater)

                                        @SKT I need to make a point of watching the favorite. Really enjoyed the Lobster as well. Yorgos puts out some wild stuff.

                                          @steelworker definitely does not follow the Hollywood tropes. Worth putting on the to-watch list
