I think TDK did have empathy for the Joker. but Nolan never really lets you inside the Joker's head. so it is more of a tease. i actually

Posted by: GMov on Jul 16, 05:27 in response to JMT's post I don't like Nolan. He's too Dark for me.

You nailed the biggest flaw with the otherwise brilliant Memento was how unlikeable everyone is. So I generally agree with your comment. TDK, I would say the one minor flaw is that Bale is tough to empathize with (versus Keaton, Clooney, etc..even thoguh Nolan's take are so vastly superior). And Insomnia was just not good. Oh and with Prestige you're spot on...tough to like the character. So overall I definately agree with youm

Gut check: INCPT... short for now. I have a price which I'll consider reversing it. {nm} secretstalker Jul 15, 21:00

I'm with you - for now. *I* have a price at which I'd consider reversing it. {nm} grammar Jul 15, 21:24

Shorting it until the morning then probably going long. I thought it was going to be one of the bigger summer movies. {nm} rayonecenoyar Jul 15, 21:32

Same strategy here. Waiting to see what it goes to before considering the long and short at the moment. {nm} Borat Jul 15, 21:33

I'm going short as well {nm} MoneyMagnet Jul 15, 21:32

Short {nm} GMov Jul 15, 21:42

I saw it and I like it, so it must be a short. {nm} helmetz Jul 15, 21:42

short. And I am staying short the whole day JMT Jul 15, 23:31

No, it's cool. Even the choice of title gives it away. SHORT. But at the same time, it's the movie I most want to see this summer.. {nm} Facto Jul 16, 01:23

I don't like Nolan. He's too Dark for me. JMT Jul 16, 02:44

I like your thoughts. Facto Jul 16, 04:58

I liked Insomnia a lot. I think APACI gives one of his better performances of late in it. CSBD Jul 16, 09:50

This is probably why I like his movies. shadowking Jul 16, 05:41

Short, unfortunately. Happy to be wrong on this one. {nm} lesana Jul 15, 23:45

Short, but I just got back from the movie and it is an absolute MASTERPIECE {nm} grengrad Jul 16, 00:28

Short. But i actually hope its going to go long. But i think this might be a word of mouth kinda movie. {nm} idrom Jul 16, 00:50

Long... sellouts all over (midnights were a pita to get), crowds are buzzzzing, momentum only building {nm} OdysseusG Jul 16, 01:26

So, it's doing well in L.A./NY and... Chicago :-) I hope you are right, btw. I'm still not sure it will catch on as fast all over, though. {nm} Facto Jul 16, 01:32

Short for the weekend. {nm} joeoftexas Jul 16, 02:48

Short and staying short {nm} strutz Jul 16, 04:29

Short, and there is no price that it has a chance to get to today that would make me reconsider. {nm} shadowking Jul 16, 05:12

Long -- first film I've wanted to see all summer. Probably not a good reason, but oh well! {nm} Biff68 Jul 16, 05:16

Short - because Americans like dumb **** blow them up movies and Inception isn't one of them. {nm} AgentEvil Jul 16, 05:17

It suddenly feels wrong to short this one, so I'm going long. {nm} Skauge Jul 16, 05:34

No, wait, short. {nm} Skauge Jul 16, 08:03

Short! {nm} eyescovered Jul 16, 05:44

Short. {nm} second gary Jul 16, 05:55

Short. I am doing my part and going Monday. :) {nm} hawkfanatic2 Jul 16, 07:28

Short and I am seeing it tonight! {nm} MrsRobinson Jul 16, 08:01

short (nm) Beer Wench Jul 16, 08:07

Probably stick with my Short - I don't see it dropping enough to warrant switching ChrisEW Jul 16, 08:14

Short as well {nm} drsexington Jul 16, 08:16

Short {nm} MrEven Jul 16, 09:15
