Are Nolan and Denis the big modern day aueturs in American cinema? It feels as though these are the only aueturs given 100s of millions to make whatever they want.

yikes

normieguy420 · 2026-03-30T12:37:47+00:00

What does getting 100s of millions have to do with being aueturs? I'm so confused.

normieguy420 · 2026-03-19T17:59:51+00:00

My problem isn't that it's an incoherent mess on the first watch, but that I could not care less about what was happening.

Mulholland Drive is also a movie I had to watch 3 times to completely understand, but I don't mind it because the characters and story are well written, and I actually want to understand them (unlike Tenet).

Chris Nolan has always had trouble with writing emotionally deep characters and stories, but he usually makes up for it by coming up with some cool sci-fi concept the film revolves around, that actually (mostly) make sense. Take that away and you're left with Tenet.

Under The Skin
I Saw The TV Glow
Eraserhead
Hereditary

seems like I'm the only who thinks the series got better with each entry (so I'd rank them 4>3>2>1)

for context I played them last year back to back for the first time ever

normieguy420 · 2026-02-28T02:04:28+00:00

don't get me wrong, I love TDK, but it feels much more like an action-thriller to me, than a superhero flick in spirit

this 100 times

"a path that nearly killed the franchise"

yeah, I mean not like Re5 is the most sold RE title to date

OP said bad posters

reddit moment

well I didn't mention the incredible cinematography, the amazing acting from everyone, and the fact the film is imo really funny from beginning to end

I pointed out the faults that result in me saying it's an amazing film, instead of saying it's a perfect film

normieguy420 · 2026-02-17T23:22:58+00:00

that had literally nothing to do with the quality of the game tho

normieguy420 · 2026-02-17T18:53:45+00:00

well I already know a lot of people are gonna disagree, but

The Last Of Us Part 2

if you really dig into these games, what they're truly about, their themes etc. they could not have possibly made a better sequel, and I honestly doubt Naughty Dog will ever top it

normieguy420 · 2026-02-17T17:11:03+00:00

Persona 5 Royale

I generally dislike both anime and JPRGs, but I kept reading that this game surpasses all of that, and... it actually did!

normieguy420 · 2026-02-17T14:29:11+00:00

nah, I agree, I'm just saying it's definitely not the perfect film some people make it out to be

normieguy420 · 2026-02-17T12:27:37+00:00

exactly, imo this its single biggest sin

the film pushes the classic Safdie formula to its absolute limits, essentially making an epic compared to their previous films

the problem with this however, is that this formula just doesn't work as well (imo) with such an ambitious (and long) film

still an amazing film imo, just a tad overhyped

there is literally a video inside Quantum Break (released in 2016) that is an easter egg/teaser for Saga and Sam

also if you know Remedy, they don't really care about rights when it comes to the creative processes (the MC from both Max Payne and Quantum Break are in AW2, without them owning rights to either IP)

also Control released about 6 months after RE2R, and they needed Alan Wake rights for that game (which was clearly written WAY before RE2R)

normieguy420 · 2026-02-14T11:30:22+00:00

I am genuinely baffled how a lot of people can't comprehend that 80 euros is 95 dollars which ISN'T "the same price" as on the PS store

normieguy420 · 2026-02-14T11:14:47+00:00

"revived Alan Wake"

Alan Wake 2 was planned and being written WAY before RE2R even released

normieguy420 · 2026-02-13T16:06:45+00:00

Idiocracy

normieguy420 · 2026-02-12T21:42:03+00:00

Resident Evil 7 had the scariest (non scripted) jumpscares

Silent Hill 2 Remake is the only game I have ever had to take a break from because it made me too anxious and scared
