I'm totally bumming Chris Nolan rignt now...

Well not literally, but he's a fucking class A director. I mean every film he's ever made has been "woah, fuck me" material. Memento was his first mainstream movie, starring Guy Pearce from 'Neighbours.' A total mindfuck of a movie going both forwards and backwards at the same time. Then you had 'Insomnia' starring Mrs Doubtfire and Michael Corleone, well Robin Williams and Al Pacino. With them two starring it was hardly going to fail was it?




Then 'Batman Begins' were he turned the campest superhero into the most badass superhero. Starring Patrick Batemen as the titular character and Ebenezer Scrooge from 'The Muppet's Christmas Carol' as his butler, Batman Begins was everything a Batman movie should be, dark, violent and gothic with a ridiculously good origins story thrown in.

Then we had 'The Prestige,' his "worst" film but still a fucking grade A movie once again starring Patrick Bateman and Ebenezer Scrooge but this time with Wolverine, the girl who whispers in Bill Murray's ear, who has nice boobs, Gollum and David fucking Bowie. David. Fucking. Bowie. Do I need to sell it any more? I might go watch Labyrinth now.

Then the motherfucking biggest of his movies to date in terms of money and universal popularity 'The Dark Knight' once again starring Patrick Bateman, Ebenezer Scrooge but this time with one of the gay cowboys from 'Brokeback Mountain' playing a psychotic clown and he was fucking sick good playing the clown. The movie made everyone take notice of how good a film maker he really is.

Then you had 'Inception,' about dreams, the human subconscious and a greedy Japanese businessman wanting to fuck a poor young man's mind up. This movie however did not star Patrick Bateman, but it did star Ebenezer Scrooge, Kate Winslet's frozen and dead boyfriend, the girl from 'Juno,' that lad from '3rd Rock From The Sun,' and Charles Bronson. The best film of the last decade in my opinion. Chris Nolan took cinema back for us intelligent folk and entertained us as well as making us think and think very, very hard at that. Not to mention the film contains the greatest fight scene of all time. I just did.

Next year we'll have Patrick Bateman and Ebenezer Scrooge back as well as Charles Bronson playing the bad guy. I am so pumped for it I could hit the iron. After that, Chris Nolan will probably start focusing on making his own films in the sense of story permanently. If I could interview any director at the moment it'd be Nolan. He's a genius who can make a movie engrossing and amazing to look at. Plus he hasn't yielded to the annoying gimmick of 3D which makes me all the more fond of him. I have no doubt that in 30 years time, people will call him the greatest director of all time. Nolan I salute you.
