Pacino deserves a 2nd Nolan film.

It somewhat echoes the call for a sci-fi epic, but I'd love to see a Nolan take on time travel. He's already demonstrated a strong grasp of time as a theme in "Memento" and tackled some abstract sci-fi questions in Inception. I think he could create a really compelling time travel story that would turn the whole sub-genre on its head.

please no. time travel is really very dumb. I'm sure Nolan could do something cool with it, but it would be a waste of his time. And the time travel would just serve to create a mindf**k situation, which everyone would be suspecting from the start. There are many better, less retarded things that Nolan could do. And after Inception, Memento, and The Prestige, the last thing that Nolan needs is another gimmick centric movie. Not that those aren't all awesome movies, I love all three of them.

Yeah, and things like people taking advantage of their mental disabilities to fool themselves into having something to live for, an electric current machine that clones you, a briefcase that allows you to mess with people's heads while asleep, and a guy dressing up like a rodent flying around a city in a rubber suit are all completely sane. :|

I disagree that time travel is "dumb". Perhaps it has been used in dumb ways in the past, but it is far from a gimmick. By it's very nature it asks questions like:

What does it mean to be mortal? What is the nature of time? How does my past define me? What is the role of scientific advancement in the pursuit of fulfillment? If I can create it, should I? How should such power be used? What is the role of deities if I can detach myself from my own lifespan? Are there limits to how far mankind should go to "defy" nature? Can I change my future? Is it fate? Does free will exist? Who should be trusted with such power? Will only the powerful and wealthy control "time" in a time traveling society? Will wars be fought over this technology? What are the ethical implications of, not just killing, but eradicating an entire existence? What does it mean to exist anyway? If anything can be changed/altered/redone was it ever really real to begin with?

:JGLface: :batface: :oldmanface:

These are the things good narratives are made of. To say otherwise is massively short-sighted.
