lol @ "mental capacity" being a requirement for Nolan's films. Dude can't go five minutes without having his characters explain everything to the audience, and in terms of directing he's like modern day Ridley Scott. His technical skill is unmatched, but the guy's cinematic style is dry as rock salt.

Nolan's most entertaining/satisfying movies (Memento, The Prestige and The Dark Knight) were all carried by his brother's writing, who is the secret weapon behind Nolan's success. My interest for Interstellar comes mostly from the fact that Jonathan Nolan wrote this one as well.

I can't wait for him to finally fulfill his dream of directing a movie himself, because I feel he'd make his overrated brother instantly irrelevant.

exposition is not new.

"show rather than tell" is the rule of thumb. and nolan does violate that rule from time to time (sometimes he'll do both with a shytty montage accompanying the exposition). but let's not act like he's the only writer in the history of the world to have problems with exposition.

his stories are pretty complicated ones that have problem with long run time to begin with. exposition gets the audience caught up quickly and gets the story moving along. that's why he makes heavy use of it.

exposition in a will ferrell movie is stupid.
exposition in a scifi flick is often needed

add in the fact that his stories are pretty complicated ones that have problem with long run time to begin with. and you can better understand his reason for exposition. it gets the audience caught up and gets the story moving along.

I know he's not the only writer to have that problem, but he is one of the biggest directors in Hollywood today and I'm really big on the "show, don't tell" school, so it irks me real bad.

I love the way Nolan fans pretend he's Tarkovsky or some shyt. AND I like Nolan but he's nothing more than a popcorn populist filmmaker. There's nothing wrong with that but ya'll dudes need to calm down.

Looking forward to the trailer though. Not looking forward to it initially leaking in some garbage quality recorded on an i-phone and fighting the temptation not to watch it :beli:

Movie sounds interesting.. Always curious to see what Nolan is gonna bring to the table even tho I'm not a fan of inception. Great premise but just one of those movies I would never watch again. Hopefully he brings some truly epic shyt this time.

I'll wait on the official HD release of this shyt. Couple things..

Anne Hathaway can look :ohmy: in slutty clothes.

Nolan's movies.. Look, I watched Inception first day and the theater went fukking crazy for it. It's not often you see that kind of reaction. However, I did hear a lot of whispering about "so what happened there? You think this" and we had the same conversations in the car. Nolan loves ambiguous shyt... and it's great for post-film convos.
