General Discussion

[tdkr_anon]

There needs to be some place to discuss non-fic related items. Discuss the movie, the amazing cast, the characters, Tom Hardy's expressive eyes. If there is even the smallest relation to The Dark Knight Rises, then go ahead, bring it up, talk about it and have fun.

Christopher Nolan--sudden fangirling

[queen_subtle]

Ok, so I was one of the very, very, few people who didn't give that much of a fuck about Inception. But, after seeing this? Anything with Nolan on it, I'm likely to throw money at. I'm actually inspired by his stlye, and I know for certain I wanna do movies now. :)

I am guilty of loving Inception to an exteme level, but that love stemmed from the cast, filmography, music and my adoration for Nolan (Plus it had a phenomenal fandom). I will say that the Batman trilogy is my favorite Nolan work, but Memento comes in a close second. His ability to pull together a cast that has chemistry and then continue to use them in other movies still amazes me.

I recently had a Nolan marathon watch with my other Nolan related fandoms and it's great to watch his movies back to back, because you get to see how similar his directing, his writing and the cinimetography. I will always firmly believe in the 'In Nolan We Trust' mantra and anything that has his name on it is bound to be golden.

EEEEEEE Tom Hardy gif! Have you seen him in Bronson by any chance. That started the love. That started the obsession.

The thing about Inception was that it reminded me a bit too much of this anime called Paprika made by another director I love, Satoshi Kon, who sadly, passed. But oh yes other than that, everything was pretty cool. I also read a recent interview that made me admire him even more where he was talking about how he preferred film to digital and how they needed to defend it. As someone who looks to getting into the movie/writing business eventually, this resounded especially with me.

Besides, I hate when there's too much CGI and stuff like that--makes the movie and the events seem so much less real. I can't connect when everything's overly cartoony and I like to feel things when I'm watching a movie.

Never saw Inception but in my opinion Memento is a work of art even if SPOILER ALERT!!!

if you pay some attention, not a lot, just some you totally guess the ending half-way thorough. That is not a bad thing, though.

Never saw The Prestige, but I really liked Insomnia. I always thought that if they casted someone else instead of Pacino/Williams (who were great, but I am going for a shallow comment) there would have been tons of slash fic.

Which reminds me that I seriously need to go on a Nolan-a-thon, since I haven't seen many of his movies actually. Just the Batman trilogy.

Do come back and tell us about it.

You're so right! I'm also likely to throw money at. In fact I already saw TDKR 13 times on theaters and I think I'm still going for the fourth I'm pretty sure it will be gone from the cinemas. At least where I live.

Heh, this. My default setting for anything with Nolan's name on it is "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!"
