fishstick Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) Inception is a movie about the imagination of a white collar accountant made by an architecture fan. Hence why it's boring and monotone. Didn't understand why people complained there was no fantasy in these dreamscapes (like random flying pink elephants) , my only concern was the complete lack of sex.Mal was dead so sex would be, ahem, necrophilic to say the least. Even in dreams. But Eames and Arthur sex would be most welcome. Edited December 27, 2012 by fishnets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashrendar44 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Or Eames dreaming of Fassbender's shlong. "Don't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Tonally their styles are worlds apart. PJ is warm & fuzzy like Spielberg, whereas Nolan's can seem cold and calculating, like Kubrick. I prefer Nolan over PJ, not because I don't like warm & fuzzy, but because I like Nolan's films and I don't like Jackson's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Nolan is more consistent but FOTR is better than anything he's ever done.Pretty much how I feel except TDK is right on its heels imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I still don't get the point of talking about the LOTR movies seperately.They are one big entity, shot back to back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Jackson is very good at Tolkien epics, other than that he's meh. While I feel Nolan has made a couple of missteps, most of his films are not just great, they're amazing. Plus, while Jackson is mostly great at adapting existing stories(Frighteners is merely good, not great), Nolan is great at coming up with his own(Memento, Inception, etc) and adapting others(Batman). Nolan wins. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Peter Jackson..LOL, he gave that guy from your avatar a thankless role. It`s laugahble that he left Being Human for playing Legolas clone in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb007 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Based on their recent releases, I would have to go with Peter Jackson who has sprung back to form with a lean and effective ending to The Hobbit. Being a Tintin fan since childhood, hoping to see a great Tintin movie from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) I think Jackson with key moments in Fotr, TTT and ROTK did some scenes Nolan can never match. I can't see Nolan doing scenes like Frodo and Sam on MT doom. or Gandalf Charge at Helm's Deep or Ride of The Riders of Rohan in ROTK. Like can Nolan do a scene like this, no because its not his style, while Jackson has done amazing scenes like this. However outside of LOTR, Nolan is much better than Jackson.

I would put King Kong against anything Nolan has done beyond Batman and Memento. While KK was ridiculously bloated, the action scenes are spectacular and the emotional 3rd act has some resonance.

Kvikk Lunsj Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 After watching The Hobbit 3. I am confident to say Nolan is way better Kong and Hobbit has really devalued Jackson as a director. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepsa Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 If jackson had only made one movie in his life and it was LOTR then I would chose him because those are better then all the movies nolan ever made but he didn't. So i pref Nolan, he is consistant, makes intresting movies, doesn't over do with CGI. He is probably my favorite director. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) we might agree LOTR is jackson's best work, which is a bunch of supremely racist monarchy fetishism. so, uh, nolan. Edited December 18, 2014 by lisa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Jackson pre-2006 (up to and including King Kong), Nolan post-Prestige. Overall Jackson because Nolan has never done anything as incredible as Heavenly Creatures and LOTR and hasn't shown signs that he ever will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Nolan has yet to embrace his inner zany. Hobbit 3 features wacky PJ setpieces at his best and at his most eyeroll-worthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinHood26 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Very different type of filmmakers. I like Nolan, but I fucking love that Jackson is not afraid to go over board and just have a good time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
