Nolan only has one trick: blasting bass hits at a rising tempo for 50% of the film. You could put that over the Teletubbies & people would be gripping their seats in suspense. His films are otherwise gray muddled messes with dialogue written for kids glancing up from their phone.
@ginamilan_ Perfect example of textbook TDS. Everything is sacrificed for the slightest chance at making Trump look slightly bad to raving lunatics… totally worth it
White people created, play-tested, and sacrificed their time and money to bring a game concept, never imagined or created beforehand, to the public for their benefit, notwithstanding their color, creed, religion or ideology. In so doing we created an industry which, in concert with adjacent industries spawned by its advent, is worth billions of dollars today. That game was DnD and I was there at the beginning, spent hundreds of hours and many years of my time for free, while betting on that dream and endeavoring for its birth.
Those creators, Gygax, Arneson, myself, Blume and Ward were rewarded for that unselfish and stupendous feat by being called misogynists, racists, and cultural appropriators by the current owners of DnD. One of their employees actually wished that white people would disappear from the hobby.
I want to thank those fans, designers and historians who appreciate the sweeping change for good we accomplished. It means a lot to me and to my now voiceless partners in that dream who are no longer here to defend themselves from their ingrateful and vile detractors.
@JoshInnesShow ESPN was absolutely amazing when it was a NEWS station.
This is true of all news. when they investigate and report the truth, it is amazing work, moral, ethical, entertaining, and righteous.
That hasn't happened in decades.
@deepakgreat@spencermorgan93 That's not even remotely true. Several films I think are incredibly powerful, well done, important to watch, and vital to the cultural identity of many... and I would not watch them again ever because they impact me in a way that is not good for ME. You're an idiot.
Once upon a time, the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert...
The government said, "Someone may steal from it at night." So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.
Then the government said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?"
So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.
Then the government said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?"
So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One to do the studies and one to write the reports.
Then the government said, "How are these people going to get paid?"
So they created the following positions: a timekeeper and a payroll officer, then hired two people.
Then the government said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?"
So they created an administrative section and hired three people: an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.
Then the government said, "We have had this project in operation for one year, and we are £18,000 over budget; we must cut back overall costs."
So they laid off the night watchman.
@OfAthenry your point is correct and vital.
The flex of having low unemployment claims is not one to make though. this is lack of looking, not lack of need.
@aelfred_D no, absolutely not. this was completely and totally unnecessary and I had even forgotten it was part of the plot.
This movie had one good point (like anything Nolan does), and this has nothing to do with that.
