I'm kind of embarrassed that I only heard about this movie earlier today. Looks fantastic. I might actually go to the movies more than once this year.
 
I think Nolan's > Night. But Night is very good. Nolans best is > Night's best tho, and Nolan is far more consistent.

Signs is my favorite Night movie.
Prestige and Batman Begins are tied for my fave Nolan flicks.

Signs and The Village crush any of that cold ass shit that Nolan makes.

Not that I'm a Nolan hater. I'm salivating at the idea of watching Dunkirk this weekend. But can he deliver the M. Night experience when Night is on his A-game?

No, he cannot. He is less than.
 
I wonder if its ending will be as pretentious as it is ambiguous...

I'll take on all comers in this debate.

I am an M. Night truther to the end.

And The Village is his most underrated, and misunderstood, film.

It's not just underrated. It is often falsely regarded as something--anything--less than what it is: A masterpiece.

IDK what it is about Nolan but he just comes across as so fucking pretentious. Which is strange because he doesn't seem like an asshole.

Agreed with this. M. Night is dominant. Nolan is also dominant, but not as dominant as M. Night.
 
Already got my tickets in the Dome (I'm calling it Domekirk) in hollywood. Saw interstellar there and it blew my mind. Bought the tickets for saturday morning because jesus christ are all the decent seats already sold out. For a bare bones trailer, Nolan is still getting a lot of anticipation.

The ambiguous endings.

It's his thing, funny that M Night is being debated against him in this thread because he's famous for his thing(the twist) only for people to get sick of it.

Nolan is kinda doing the same. Playing that card a lot. Can't imagine he does it here which is good.

HOW can he do it here though? Dunkirk had a pretty easy to show conclusion to the damn event.

You wouldn't think it's possible but directors aren't normal people. Can do some funny things along with the great stuff

Ridley Scott likes to believe Deckard is a replicant.

James Cameron is making Avatar 2-70... Stopped terminator universe at T2.

M Night made the happening.

George Lucas....

Still I hope not.

Considering it's by one of the most well known directors working today and starring one of the most popular leading men in Hollywood I feel like it's been a pretty disappointing marketing campaign. I don't think I've seen a single trailer on tv.
 
I have almost zero interest to see this and i love Nolan novies.

This is coming from a guy who adores speed racer.

No reason to debate with you

Christopher Nolan is one of my favorite directors, Hans Zimmer makes the best scores, I love everything Tom Hardy does and WWII is the most fascinating event in history yet I feel the same way. I can't explain it. Trailers just haven't got my attention.

Besides Inception, what other ambiguous endings has Nolan done?

And imo even tho the ending of Inception was ambiguous, it seems fairly clear to me that Dom was dreaming the whole thing and still asleep at the end.
