Harpospoke Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Nolan is a brand. Meaning simply being a Nolan film does not mean everyone will flock to see it. However if people hear good things about the fact it is a Nolan film would convince people more easily to see it. Another great example is GOTG, it did well as it was an entertaining blockbuster. However the fact it had the Marvel brand behind it likely convinced audience goers to see it as well. Tell me if some other studio made a film about a guy named Starlord a green assassin, a racoon and a tree it would have made anywhere near as much? That's sounds like a religion. There is no way to falsify it. If people go see a Nolan film, it's because of him. ...If people don't go see it, that doesn't mean people don't worship Nolan. (Sounds like you just said people are not hearing good things about Interstellar) Is that another way of saying "People will go see any Nolan film that appeals to the masses"? I could say that about any director. Ok...I went and looked. The 3 trailers for Interstellar. No mention of Nolan. Doesn't seem like much of a "brand": There is no answer to the question about GotG since Marvel is the only studio that made it. I'm thinking the trailers got people excited to go see it....followed by great WoM. It doesn't have a lot in common with Iron Man or Avengers. I predict fanboys giggling at people who are shocked when Groot, Rocket, Starlord, Gamora, and Drax show up in an Avengers movie someday. I mean...remember people asking why Superman and Batman weren't in the Avengers movie? Edited November 17, 2014 by Harpospoke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Can we all just agree Interstellar makes people feel emotions they have never felt before, therefore one of the most memorable movies of the year? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Can we all just agree Interstellar makes people feel emotions they have never felt before, therefore one of the most memorable movies of the year? Well that's a mighty statement. Kinda like asking "can we all just agree Citizen Kane is the best film ever made?" No. No we can't.

No. No we can't. "Can we all just agree that Citizen Kane is the best film ever made?" is a little more absolutist than "can we all just agree that Interstellar is one of the most memorable movies of the year. Agreeing to the latter is much easier. Edited November 17, 2014 by lab276 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreeing to the latter is much easier. That's not what he said we should all agree on. He asked us to agree that it makes everyone feel emotions they never felt before. I think that's an even mightier statement than saying it's the best film of all time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest Panda's comment was slightly tongue-in-cheek. I mean, seriously, an "emotion you've never felt before"? I saw Interstellar and I felt, what? Orange? Edited November 17, 2014 by Wrath 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 What a poor expansion for WHIPLASH in light of the amazing reviews. I think it's had a botched release, honestly. Probably would've done better in the hands of someone like Fox Searchlight than SPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Whiplash made the opposite decision from St Vincent. St Vincent very clearly choose to appeal to GA rather than critics, whereas Whiplash is all about critical acclaim rather than being broadly appealing. Its kinda... sparse, as far as "major" American movies go, without a lot of dialogue and both major characters hold their emotions pretty close. Its not really surprising its doing mediocre box office. Edited November 17, 2014 by Wrath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
