i just don't see it. i see a big expensive movie that was well made considering but it doesn't make my heart beat faster with delight or anything.

graphic novel doesn't necessarily equate superhero narratives. and regardless of what cronenberg may remember, history of violence was so much more profound and interesting than dark night rises that it bears no comparison.

ah, see, the thing is im a huge cronenberg fan. i love his stuff-- crash, existenz, dead ringers, history of violence, eastern promises.... almost everything really. the only one i haven't liked much was spider.
but notice cronenberg's words-- he's not saying that nolan is a bad director. he says nolan is interesting and that his best movie is memento, and with this i agree. what he's criticizing is nolan's choice of projects and his working for big studios-- in other words, he's sorta calling him a sellout.
