Dude, Charles is in Charge of our days, AND our Nights.  Too True.

Troy or Jason and the Argonauts?

jason.

mulholland dr. or momento?
I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of the hunger for life that gnaws in us all.

Mulholland Dr., considering Momento is one of the most overrated films of all time.

Who is more overrated:

Wes Anderson or Christopher Nolan?

Neither one is.

MacBeth or Hamlet?

Hamlet.

And since you are only given two options, I must pose the same question again to ensure that someone can admit to agreeing with me on at least one of those two.

Neither Nolan or Anderson are overrated.

Neither Nolan or Anderson are overrated.

You're entitled to your opinion of course, but Anderson is all about diminshing returns for me. Bottle Rocket was fun enough, but by Tenenbaums he lost me. Too many characters, and they're all the sum of their quirks. With his visuals, he's trying to be interesting by being uninteresting, and, to me, it's just uninteresting and unambitious and easy.  Darjeeling has potential, so I'm hoping he can return to form, in a way, though I can't see any masterpieces in his future.

As for Nolan, Memento I mostly blame on Guy Pearce. I just found him to be really bland and uncompelling. The twist, as with the Prestige, wasn't all that surprising to me, and it certainly didn't enhance my experience at all. Have yet to see Batman Begins, but I might get around to it.

I could go into further detail, but it's probably not necessary in this thread.
