    Memetic cognito hazard below that will fuck with your ability to watch Nolan movies.

    spoiler

    Someone pointed out to me how all Nolan movies do the “walk and talk” exposition dump as seen in other hacky media like The Westwing and now I can’t unsee it. He basically handholds the audience through the entire movie, explaining everything while characters move from scene to scene, set to set. Since he has a ginormous Hollywood budget for special effects, it makes it seem like there’s more substance to his films than there actually is. He tricks you into thinking good visuals means good dialog, plot, and acting, but he’s actually giving a PowerPoint presentation.

    It allows him to make movies that are excessively long, but since they constantly have new visuals to look at, it feels shorter than it is.

      I dunno man in one of the Batmans he extrajudicially extradites a Chinese national using a rope tied to a plane in flight and that was dope as fuck. Or that shit where he made a bigass rotating hallway to put a fight scene in. I think he got tricked by a physicist into paying for supercomputers to calculate what black holes actually look like.

      Yeah that was the problem with the ending of Interstellar, mcconaughey‘s character just straight up tells the audience what they’re looking at, rather than letting the audience figure it out via visual clues.
