"chris nolan; BEST director to emerge this decade???"


          

out of all the directors that emerged this decade, (and only this decade) it is easy to suggest that chris nolan is the best of the bunch....i predict "the dark knight" will catapult him higher as one of the greatest of any era (bold prediction, but his track record so far have been impeccable)

      that's why you click on only the "cream of the crop" link.

           I don't give a shit what they think either.
Jul 15th 2008
11
                it goes two ways for me.
Jul 16th 2008
13
                     right... meaning their review consensus is accurate
Jul 16th 2008
14
                          lol, accurate for who?

                               it's a percentage guys...
Jul 16th 2008
22
                                    but the percentages have no meaning for me
Jul 16th 2008
27
                                         the percentages is the entire point of rottentomatoes.com
Jul 16th 2008
33
                                              to me, opinons on movies are some of the most subjective
Jul 16th 2008
36
                                              And even reviewers that you like can lead you astray.

                Planet Terror was pretty decent.
Jul 16th 2008
69
                     I'd put it on the level of Gigli and The Cat in the Hat.

                               it's always easy to say "only fanboys loved it" - but it can't be proved

                                         I hate talking money - we're talking movies here.
Jul 16th 2008

                                              for a movie to bomb that means NOBODY saw it
Jul 16th 2008
120
                                                   fine, the "general public" didn't like it
Jul 17th 2008

                                                        ...meaning just fanboys and your family did

      i've read as of NOW over 50 reviews
Jul 16th 2008

           Am I nuts, or is "too serious and dark" ABSOLUTELY a valid criticism?
Jul 16th 2008

                It can cross over into ugliness, like (IMO) Batman Returns did.

Come on, Memento was one of the best movies of the decade
Jul 16th 2008
53
i think that was his 1st film
Jul 16th 2008
56
      "Following" was his first film
Jul 17th 2008
132
           Doodlebug was his 1st short & that's pretty cool as well. (c)Stan
