Lol what?

Sorry, forgot to say I have't watched Prestige.
I did Watch Dunkirk, and it was kind of disappointing how it didn't capture he fear and the devastation of Dunkirk. It felt chaotic and people did die/almost died. The psychological and emotional impact just wasn't there
Totally agree, but for me Id replace Inception with Interstellar. I love that movie even though I understand maybe 3 quarters of it

I think it's really strange Abby never talked to Jeff during the entire hiring process given how he talks about the process during Jar Time.
But whatever, it clearly wasn't needed since Abby is a great hire.

You've seen too many over-the-top war films, maybe. Veterans who were actually at Dunkirk say the film captured the battle just as they remember it.
Yeah Interstellar isn't one of my favorites, although I liked it more than some.

Imagine if Dan made the concept of Steal My Sunshine during the GBWest days...
Jeff wouldn't stand for it.
"So we play Super Mario Sunshi.."
"Absolutely no way in Hell"

I am sure there are shit films where they replicated diving very authentically

Mario party party is a west joint.
Jeff is head of editorial and Vinny head of production... No reason for her to talk to Jeff.
Also, I think Nolan is great (except for the third Batman and Interstellar). I enjoyed Dunkirk but I felt it was a bit of a mess at times... Difficult to follow.
It's been a while, but my understanding of the "corporate structure" is that Jeff is considered the "editorial" boss (so he's the boss of Ben, Alex, Brad, Dan, etc.) and Vinny is considered the "video production" boss (so he's Jason, Abby, and formerly Drew's boss).

Christopher Nolan is my problematic fav director. Super intense, super brilliant, vaguely hallow films.

Interstellar was so boring that I couldn't finish it, which is weird because I liked to loved every other Nolan movie that I've seen. The Prestige is still his best, though.
Edit: I agree that Fury Road wasn't all that great.
Hmm, It seems that I need to watch The Prestige
So you do?
I have yet to watch Fury Road too, one day
So you do?

Part of why Fury Road is amazing is that it's filmed in such a minimalistic way but says so much(we get fully realized character arcs in a film that's basically one big chase scene) with fascinating world building, you'd be surprised by how much the film is actually practical. It also helps that it is edited to perfection. The fact that no stuntmen & women were harmed is a miracle, I mean look at this shit.
For Miller being able to achieve all that in this day and age is just mind blowing to be honest.
e: I almost forgot, he shot this film in his late 60's. He's 72 now.
Same.

El Jefe: "so she knows her way around production does improv and has a motorcycle"
V Dawg: "yup"
"But does she play The DOTA?"
"Huh?"
"Just answer the question"

Dunkirk showed that all Nolan needed to be a properly good director is for him to cut all of his appallingly shitty dialogue out of his movies.
The Prestige is a damned good movie, mind.

Nier is still too fresh for me to laugh at that comic
Interstellar could have done without the bullshit deus ex machina bit to make the rest of the film work.

Let it be known, this definitely said hotdog prior to a stealth edit.
