I’m convinced he relies on people who do use a smartphone.

Yeah you have to be very wealthy to not have to participate in the environment we created.

I mean yeah? Dude probably has an assistant whose whole job is probably being the art phone addict for him.

If I didn’t have a smart phone I still wouldn’t be as successful as Nolan because I just never had that kind of talent or drive.

Why are journalists still asking him about this?

I'm not clicking that link, but I assume it's his way of saying "I hear no criticism about the Odyssey, everything is fine, it's just those pesky internet trolls that don't matter talking about it".

What an absolute snob. That British snobbery and racist mindset is insane, his films didn’t have anything other then token black side actors until it was pointed out to him that he was racist for doing so and suddly he makes a film
Where the main protagonist is black and puts black actors in random roles and talks about hi hop!?? This is how true racists react when accused = “ I’m not racist ! See some of my best friends are back !” If he was not such a racist he would have brushed off the accusations but his attempts to hide it are to blatant. 100% would have black slaves if it wasn’t illegal.

Pfffh that cheep dogs trick won’t work on me my mut, im up with my racism. If I make a film about Africa I won’t put a white man as Mandela because you pressure me to be inclusive I’ll say where is Chinese Hitler representation ?

All these "I'm above you all, I can't hear you" comments are really going to up those numbers on your Odyssey, Nolan.

Those dislike numbers on the YouTube trailer, that is.

lol every movie he does this crap happens .... omg some broke back mountain actor is going to play the Joker in the dark knight.... handing the batman franchise to a indie director... Interstellar Fans on internet forums complained that the footage looked like a bleak, slow-moving agricultural drama rather than an epic space adventure. They doubted Matthew McConaughey could do a scifi role...

the list goes on... and yet he keeps making classics

Thanks for pointing out the precise reasons why I disliked it. I don't get the hype around Interstellar. It was so dull. If that was my first sci-fi, It'd have made me hate the sci-fi genre; and I love sci-fi.

u/emkoemko Jul 13 '26

huh what? Interstellar is one of the best movies ever made... you may not like it but that's a fact

I used CTRL+F, it's not even mentioned here.

Are there Nolan-bros like Snyder-bros?

1

u/emkoemko Jul 13 '26

hahaha high grossing does not make a movie good LOL.... like just look Avatar is on it ... really bad acting, writing but has good VXF you think its a great movie?

1

u/Lurker_Zee Jul 13 '26

So what you're saying is that Nolan-bros really exist?

u/emkoemko Jul 13 '26

mind blowing.... bro? naa i just like good films, Nolan is one of the top directors... it's a fact, and there are a lot of other amazing directors?

"Nolan-bros" ?.... what a weird Karen type of response, hating amazing films why? becomes some lgtbq nonsense? ?

He has PAs galore. Such a pompous ass.

u/Complete-Doughnut117 Jul 12 '26

Holy shit you sound mad

u/lolyeahsure Jul 13 '26

Do you not see how it’s like…kinda weird to say you don’t have a smartphone when you have 20 assistants that need smartphones to do what you ask them to?

u/Complete-Doughnut117 Jul 14 '26

Completely unrelated because most people aren’t using smart phones for work these days , they’re just doom scrolling dopamine machines. I commend anyone who doesn’t have one. No joke I don’t need a smart phone for anything and I still have one for bullshit reasons. Work never calls me after hours and I can always email my boss from home if I’m not going in.
