About Christopher Nolan

"You look at what Christopher Nolan did with Batman, that's like the meeting of the highest level of artistic skill & a kind of commerciality and appeal to a wide range of people which is what anybody would want. It's kind of unparalleled actually" – Paul Thomas Anderson

    "highest level of artistic skill" is a pretty fucking ridiculous accolade. I don't know if Batman resides up there with Pieta or King Lear.

    To be fair "highest level of artistic skill" I think he's referring to Nolan's sensibilities then Batman is the "commerciality" (which isn't a word). Anderson is a fine filmmaker but it comes to his film criticism you can leave me out.

    Either that or he's kissing up to the studios to get some of that 'Magnolia' money he's never been able to put together ever since that movie made zero money. Either way, his student films are better than most of Nolan's crap.

    Zacunty W, you're right, Paul Thomas Anderson is kissing up to "the studios"(New Line) the generous risk-taking sister company of Time Waner that has made a name for it self by using independent directors.
