I can’t imagine living with what he had to live with. Creating something powerful enough to end humanity.
I am ready for this movie. The cast is fantastic, too.
Throw that book I mentioned on audible.
It is a fascinating listen. I'm sure there are other good books about it too, but this looked at the human element of the job. It's really fucking good. [Reply]

Interesting. Nolan isn't universally loved, but I think you're the first person I've seen that went to "fuck him". There has to be a specific reason... [Reply]

Richard Rhodes, a KC native, wrote the definitive book on the subject, The Making of the Atomic Bomb, which won the Pulitzer Prize. [Reply]

You must not be paying attention, because I loathe that fucker.
I really enjoyed some of his earlier stuff, but started to tire of his crap starting with Dark Knight. It's like he's in a race to constantly outthink himself and make the stories in his movies more and more ridiculously overblown. I'm sick of it. Movies are supposed to be about entertainment. I don't find convoluted shit that needs to be debated to discover the "true meaning" entertaining.
The last movie he did that I didn't mind was Inception, which was still nuts but enjoyable. Everything since has just annoyed the fuck out of me. Even though I hated Interstellar, when I heard he was doing a movie about Dunkirk I figured I'd check it out, because he'd probably not go full retard with a real historical event. WRONG. He hopscotched the timeline all over the place.
I think he's a talented director, but he basically just douches shit up to do it. I have no desire to ever watch another one of his movies. Heard Tenet sucked. Alas, I'll never know. [Reply]

If you are a Nolan hater, you should definitely watch TENET. [Reply]

I think Tenet was one of his worst movies. Dunkirk was good but there is alot of WW2 movie apathy nowadays. Certainly has been trending down but he's still one of the best. [Reply]

TENET is shit. I was disappointed while watching it and grew annoyed with it in retrospect. One of the dumbest treatments of time travel that I've ever seen. [Reply]

I enjoyed Inception. Enough science mixed in with the mumbo jumbo to make it entertaining and enough latitude in the plot points to make it engaging. [Reply]

He's not perfect by any means, and Dunkirk and Tenet were certainly misses by what he's established his standards to be imho (and it's funny you brought up Dark Knight - what you feel with that movie is exactly how I feel with Dark Knight Rises). But I'm certainly not attempting to sway you back, lol. Hopefully this turns out to be an amazing flick and you decide to give it a go in spite of. [Reply]
Really looking forward to this one. Wonder if Nolan will finally get the note that it’s helpful if the audience can actually hear the dialogue in the sound mix? [Reply]
