Film Noir & Nolan

Uhhh...Memento, anyone? That and Sin City are perhaps the best neo-noirs of the past 15-20 years, IMHO. (Depends heavily if you consider Pulp Fiction to be neo-noir.)

C'mon, people!! Respect the Nolan. 8-)

Budget?

I heard that Aronofsky shot "Pi" on 16mm tri-ex REVERSAL film stock, which means there's no negative -- you're stuck with that one copy of the film, so if it scratches or tears, you're screwed. But the grainy look of that reversal stock looks better than the negative stock, thus the film looks great...

Why do people complain about the TV??

I think they should have dumped the whole idea of Bane putting him in the actual foreign prison that he grew up in and just have him put Bruce in a to-scale mockup that he had built underground, in the Gotham city limits or outside of them. Then you remove the entire logistics issue with Bane and Br...

The themes of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

New Batman Begins Podcast

One hour and 44 minute analysis of Nolan and Batman Begins? That's pretty hardcore. They're apparently going to do all of Nolan's films. I didn't hear the whole thing but it sounds good to me, albeit with some audio issues.
