  1. If I told you that Christopher Nolan loves Michael Bay movies, would you believe me? Looks like you may not have a choice. According to an interview with Inceptioncinematographer Wally Pfister, it’s fact. Read what he had to say about Nolan’s love affair with Bay’s films after the break. Cinematical scored the interview. Here’s the relevant excerpt: “…there are the movies out there that he loves and I hate. I’m not a big Michael Bay fan. Chris loves Michael Bay’s movies. And so I’m always like come on, dude! But he sees something in it, and I don’t see it.” Pfister has worked with Nolan on every film he’s made since Memento, so I think we can trust him on this. The question I find myself wondering is: Should we even care? Without hearing Nolan’s reasoning behind why he enjoys the work of Michael Bay, it’s unclear what specifically he sees in it that you or I may not. And even if he likes Bay’s movies for a reason as simple as, “They have cool explosions,” why should we begrudge him that? Nolan has already more than proven himself as a crafty, meticulous filmmaker with a keen sense for storytelling, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with him also having an appreciation for the less sophisticated side of cinema, which also has its merits—however philistine those merits may be. http://www.slashfilm.com/christopher-nolan-loves-watching-michael-bay-movies/
