Now this is how you do a hot take.

Interstellar: 88% on the first Tuesday (currently sits at 85%)

TDKR: 94% on the first Saturday (currently sits at 90%; The fanboys probably contributed A LOT to this  )

TDK: 89% on opening day (currently sits at 94%)

Prestige: 90% two weeks after release (currently sits at 92%)

It must run in the family as Jonah Nolan did a great job with Person of Interest and also Westworld. I do wonder if Jonah will ever direct a film, he's a strong writer, perhaps a better writer than Christopher Nolan and he has directed episodes of PoI and Westworld so I imagine it's inevitable

I saw on his Wiki page that he's developing another show for TV aside from Westworld, maybe he likes the long format better, TV is more of a writer's medium, plus the idea of stepping into the director's chair on a feature film and having everyone compare your efforts to big brother's...intimidating. 

 

Yesterday, I looked at an interview he did about Westworld posted on Youtube and like half of the comments were people so confused that Chris Nolan's brother sounds American and looks like Tom Brady!  Would be interesting to see Chris really explore sibling dynamics in one of his films, I can see why he wouldn't though, probably too personal and painful given how the third brother turned out.

I gave Pirates 5 a B+ and thought it was a damn solid movie, as an example.  A B+ is a fine grade!

Insomnia and Dunkirk are about even. Dunkirk hasn't stuck with me at all tbh, and I might bump it down to a...... B+

 

I'm fairly certain putting The Dark Knight as your favorite movie is just about the most damn casual thing ever

Explains it all about Rotten Tomatoes TBH and our "Everything is either epic or garbage" culture.

Ah, so you're just Nolanite-ing with the rest. Okay.

[WrathOfHan]

Every movie I've given a 9/10 or higher this year left me thinking for hours on end. I've barely thought about Dunkirk over the past 2 hours. Plenty of good movies are like that!

3 weeks is very likely, maybe even 4 weeks. The last film to do number 1 for 4 weeks was Fantastic Beasts. No films at the UK box office has managed to do more than 4 weeks since Avatar which managed 8 consecutive weeks and 10 non consecutive weeks. Dunkirk might break that streak

 

And considering the true story, Dunkirk being #1 for 4 weeks wouldn't be that surprising either.

[Ethan Hunt]

Me and Han have pretty much the same take on Dunkirk. Fuck I'm a casual

Oh the memories

 

Quote

"In the entire industry, no one understands what [Dunkirk] is doing here", Besson tells me. "Typically this kind of film, great director, important subject, comes in November, going for Oscars. Why in July? It doesnt make sense."

 

Besson, for his part, is quick to praise Nolan as a visionary filmmaker—and points out that if, say, Inception 2 were coming out on July 21, he would have moved Valerian off the contested release date for fear of the films cannibalizing each other’s audience.

 

As it stands, however, the Frenchman believes moviegoers will likely divide along generational lines. “Everyone under 50 will go see Valerian,” Besson says, “and everyone above 50 will go see Dunkirk.”
