That wasn't a political statement, by the way.
It was purely aesthetically. ;D (I had to look up how to write this word. Lel!)
The fighting scenes always sucked!
Batman is supposed to be a Super Fighter (tm) - yet he fights like me having calf cramps or sumthin'!
 
so I take it you're not enjoying Tenet then?

It's far from perfect, and def not his best work, but I enjoyed it.
 
I haven't watched that many :pie_thinking:

Good: The Prestige, The Dark Knight, Memento, Inception, Dunkirk
Bad: Batman Begins, Dark Knight Rises

Dark Knight Rises in particular was so badly written I couldn't even finish it. I couldn't believe the things they were making these actors say. When Michael Caine was like "I can't watch you do this" I said yeah me neither, not a minute more of this trash lol, and turned it off

OK. Homework: Three sentences what this movie was about.
It was kinda funny that in the end everybody shot at everybody but there was never an everybody.
Am I blind or something?
It was a cheap copy of a copy of a copy of a James Bond movie!
THERE! I SAID IT! :D
(I have to rewatch Memento, though...)
 
I'll watch most of his films, but his Batman films are fucking trash.
I can't believe that utter dog shit is held in such high regard.

His movies used to be good but honestly, at some point he lost his goddam mind, you can easily tell when it happened.
 
On more positive news, Denis Villeneuve is apparently directing the next James Bond movie. At least it's news to me.

Yeah, fun fact. If you consider that after paying Villaneuve and paying off the Brocolli family to leave Bond. The next film will be the most expensive movie ever made.

They wanted Nolan, but Nolan demands Final Cut approval. Villaneuve agreed to "one movie" without Final Cut approval. It is Bond.

This could suck or be amazing. I am hoping for the later. A lot of 007 stories could be updated to a modern era with battles with AI and other things and could be quite interesting.

I dunno, pretty much every thriller film that has tried to make AI the big bad has failed miserably at it, from the Mission Impossible films to Transcendence. Even the Matrix films fell apart, Terminator with Skynet as well. It's just too much of a writing trap, to have the AI magically predict stuff that it, as basically a perpetual remote viewer, couldn't really know about or understand, and int he end it usually boils down to unplugging something or just blowing it up, which is unsatisfactory.

Bond, for all his techno gadgets, should ALWAYS end up mano y mano, flesh and blood, with his opponents. That's the ENTIRE POINT of 00 agents, they get sent in when the traditional surveillance state and bureaucratic legal system fails or is inadequate and MI6 needs boots on the ground, eyes on target, and a person eliminated.

If I were supervising a Bond film now, I would make a hard ban on Bond EVER standing over someone's shoulder while the nerd bangs away on a keyboard. That type of shit is DEATH to a spy action/thriller movie IMHO, and the same applies to bad guys taking orders from a frackking robot.
 
I can't tell if the OP is proof that AI cannot pass the Turing test, or that AI outclassed some humans long ago.
 
Inception, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Prestige and Dunkirk are all amazing movies that'll make me mostly give him somewhat the benefit of doubt. But The Dark Knight Rises, Interstellar, Tenet and Oppenheimer have slowly but surely made me cool on him. And with The Odyssey looking more and more like an Oscar checklist I feel like I'm beginning to move away from him like I did with Wes Anderson, Pixar and Steven Spielberg.
