It is a lot of fun indeed. I loved speculating with TDK and Nolan still surprised me in the end in a wonderful way, I am expecting the same here
the only movie Nolan has made im not a huge fan of is Insomnia. it was ok, but nothing great. it was a remake anyway.
his first film he ever did "Following" is amazing, especially for how low budget it was. its such a fantastic story and you can see how his style has grown.
and the one i love a lot in The Prestige. its so good!!! it sort of didnt get too much recognition when it came out, but its one of my favorites of all time.
and of course Inception which i thought deserved Best Picture last year. Kings Speech was good, but Inception i think was ground breaking. If it came out later in the year it might of won. But because it came out earlier than Social Network and Kings Speech, it might of won. it just didnt have the buzz towards the end of the year like those two had...
I actually like Alien #3 better than #2
Keep meaning to..
Everyone certainly hopes the same and based on Nolan's history, lightning may just strike again (for me this would make it lightning in a bottle for the 3rd time because I love BB just as much as TDK).
That being said, even great directors themselves admit that sometimes things don't work out as planned and disasters can and do happen.
Look at Fincher and Aliens 3 for just one example.
Look at Lucas and everything after Return of the Jedi.
That is very true. But I have faith in Nolan. That guy knows what he's doing and I doubt he would make this film if there was a chance at it bombing.
I still need to see 'The Following'
Agree Inception deserved Best Picture but I also think TDK deserved a Best Picture nomination.
I'd rank his Films as follows
- Inception
- Begins / TDK tied for me
- Memento
- The Prestige
- Insomnia
