For having ten years to write this you think he'd have gotten some kind of modern science correct..
The characters aren't interesting. Cobb is one of the least interesting protagonist that I've ever come across. And I don't even know what the other character motivations are.
But hey throw in a magical suitcase and complicate "dream rules" (although leave huge inconsistencies) and you have a brilliant script!

What a bar to set!!!!

Memento is his best. Inception features everything I find wrong with Nolan.

This is a pretty awful thread.

[RyanPm40]

Funny how Inception is so widely well-received, and Absolutepunk is pretty much the opposite

[OurLadyCoolbean]

Absolutepunk is a parallel universe where Christopher Nolan sucks

[Jake Jenkins]

a. it seems like there's a fair number of people here who DO enjoy christopher nolan so i don't think you can label ap as a Christopher nolan hating community

b. id be willing to wager the idea of christopher nolan being subpar isn't exclusive to this website

[Tetragrammaton]

There is plenty of criticism of Nolan's work. You have to look outside of things like IMDb, though.

Edit: Damn, just got beat to the news... Can't wait for this though. It's crazy to see November becoming the new March in terms of big releases.

True, but I mean the month as a whole. It always seemed to be crammed around Thanksgiving. It was kind of rare to see these big movies that could be June/July tent poles show up in the first week of November.

I think it's the expansion of the Best Picture field. Studios feel more confident releasing genre fare in awards season now.

good job award shows!
