What the hell does that mean?
Might be better than The Dark Knight.
lol kkk
Wow... this looked to me like ****... guess not.
I wasn't very high on the avatar train either though.
Paging CarolinaJazz...
Later previews have made it appear more intriguing but I think the fanboy cult of Christopher Nolan is more than a little weird.

Is that Hattori Hanzo in your avatar? I rest my case.
In all seriousness, Tarantino is clearly the better writer/director. Of directors who made their debuts in the 1990s his only real competition is PT Anderson. Nolan, in terms of writing ability and technical skill, is back somewhere with Baz Luhrmann, Guillermo Del Toro, Danny Boyle, and Mike Judge.

7 reviews seems a bit premature to be throwing the victory party.
For what it's worth, I thought the original trailers didn't sell this movie well. I had seen about 4 different trailers at one point and had no idea what the movie was about. Later previews have made it appear more intriguing but I think the fanboy cult of Christopher Nolan is more than a little weird.
He might have the highest delta between perceived skill as a director and actual skill as a director among all those currently working.
Anyone want to talk about Insomnia? Following? Or how about that "The Prestige" uses one of the lamest possible gimmicks second only to "it was only a dream," as a vital plot device? Over the last ten years dude has seriously needed an editor. There isn't a single film he's made after Memento that wouldn't have been made better if it was 10-20 minutes shorter, and I really liked The Dark Knight. Inception has a reported running time of 148 minutes. Given Nolan's previous work I can almost guarantee you that there are going to be long segments that draaaaaaaaaggggggg.
A few things in no particular order...
1) Are you really going to use Following as part of your argument? C'mon you're better than that.
2)I thought every trailer for Inception has been perfect.
