What about Trinity in Memento, Hilary Swank in Insomnia, Rachel in Batman Begins/The Dark Knight and Ellen Page in Inception?

Trinity was in Memento? I must've missed that.

Yes but her name is Carrie-Anne Moss, not Trinity. Kinda odd he would name all the other women by their actress names and then that one as a character she's probably most well-known for.

I couldn't remember her name, lighten up. Haven't seen her in anything in ages. Last role of her I remember was that hellraiser clone in Silent Hill Revelation.

He also said Rachel in Batman Begins, not Katie Holmes or Maggie Gyllenhaal.

That’s just being nitpitcky for no reason.

I was just being curious, never meant to upset P-Rock or anyone else.

Never thought of Nolan or his films as being misogynistic. His films are terrible and his fans are obnoxious, however.

All of them?

DCU is better than MCU. While they do have stains like Suicide Squad, I still feel as if I'm watching a super hero movie when I watch DCU movies. MCU movies never have any sense of weight or any level of emotion that doesn't feel really forced or robotic.

This is not to say I've not enjoyed any MCU films; I really did enjoy both Guardians films and Spider-Man: Homecoming was quite good too. I did not see Black Panther, but from what I hear of that, I'd probably enjoy that one just as much.

I wouldn't even bother trying to understand him, the guy has the biggest hate boner for Nolan.

My favorite female in a Nolan film is Murph from Interstellar

I like Adam Sandler movies. Not his garbage movies, but the good ones: Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, Bulletproof, and of course Punch-Drunk Love, which is one of the best films ever made.

AreaUnderTheCurve · 05-21-2018, 03:21 AM

I can take the middle ground of Nolan perhaps not being misogynistic, but instead incapable of writing compelling female characters that do more than cause emotional strife to their male counterparts. That’s far more reasonable than what I was saying earlier.

plateoshrimp · 05-21-2018, 02:25 PM

Broken Flowers is Bill Murray's best film.

I thought I was the only one left! Of course he has his fair share of garbage, which is unfortunate, but good Adam Sandler is really enjoyable to me. Come to think of it, I don't think I have any of his films on Blu-ray. Thanks for the reminder!

Warcraft: The Beginning is one of the best video game based movies.

Little Nicky is an underrated classic. Probably my favorite tbh.

Also, The Waterboy. I think most people consider those to be some of his garbage movies, though.
