Movies and TV

[Triggerpigking]

Ah, Eduardo suggested it to me and I watched it like two weeks ago:D
I liked it quite a bit, I think the thinking processes of main character(s) were done excellently. The development of overthink patterns, for example.

yeah Eduardo actually reccomended it to me too before I mentioned i already watched it, it was such a long time ago I barely remember the series aside from loving it(I was 13 or 14 when I first watched it I think)

lol, I somehow didn't know that fullmetal jacket was made by Kubrick:) It's one of my favourite movies lol:) I just forgot to mention it.

Yeah that movies great, while I do remember the first half being better then the second and the shift being a bit jarring, I honestly can't remember what I thought of the second half of it, I should rewatch that as well.

Yes, of course, Nolan has nothing to do with Emmerich or Bay, I mean, for me, they are so much trivialized and "hollywoodized" that they are living parodies of that approach, sadly, unnintentionally:)
But, that's exactly why I have a slight "problem" with Nolan. I mean, if I enter the "yay movies pew pew" mode, I LOVE Nolan. But, on the other hand, I have a strong impression that he wants to do something without actually doing it. I mean, for example, look at the dark knight rises. I'm not talking about quality, I'm talking about approach. Nolan kinda tried to criticize pure capitalism and then he was like "nah, I better not" and the result is a messy mess of messiness and blandness:) It's quite hard to try and go non-hollywood while in fact going pro-hollywood, so I think he should decide or simply make quality blockbusters without analyzing much, because he is an EXCELLENT director per se. Or go and make indie movies for million times less money that now, but with freedom to actually do some analysis and question some things.
That's why if I don't enter the lollywood mode, I might criticize Nolan even more than Emmerich:)

Them two were probbly bad examples to compare to Nolan, but they're the only two hollywood examples I could think up of the top of my head, I actually find Bay alot more annoying then Emmerich while his movies are awful atleast some of his older ones are atleast somewhat fun.
Bay...I find his movies downright offensive sometimes, fuck I even got really annoyed at what he was doing to transformers and I don't even like them, I just know how much of an impact they've had and see him clearly ruining them.
Nolan, I think he has the capacity to make a more deeper movie if he tried but he defineitly shys away from it like you said(weirdly I never noticed the capitalism thing in rises, I think my brain was asleep by that point).
I think Nolan mainly excels at characters especially villains, which is once again my problem with 3, you can't just pull Talia out of a hat and expect people to like her after giving her a quick crappy backstory synopsis, catwoman as well was just bland, Bane really was the only saving grace of that film if only because Tom Hardy is a great actor.
So yeah while his movies are mainly just fun blockbusters I think they do have some complexity to them if only because of the characters....just to hell with 3 seriously...my dislike of that movie has only gotten worse over time.

rant? You meant praise?:)
Well, if you like Leone, then yeah, you should close the forums now and go watch Kurosawa, you'll like it:)

lol, I tend to use the word rant to mean just speaking or typing at length about something regardless of if I love it or hate it, don't know why actually it just became a habit of mine at some point I guess.
