Lol this is sort of true. The fervor is weirdly fascinating. I'm not really a devotee but I always gotta give it up for directors with a global fanbase that will follow them anywhere.

John 2,032 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 8 of his films are listed on IMDb's top 250, with The Dark Knight at #4. Having just one film in the IMDb top 250 is pretty special but to have 8 listed is remarkable. He may very well be the most popular director alive.

The Dark Knight Rises has no business being on that list (along with a few other films) but I can’t argue with the inclusion of his films of seen. I’d definitely put Dunkirk ahead of TDKR.

Bilbo 3,709 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I don’t but I am trying to make my way through the list and see films I haven’t already seen. It’s a good exercise as I have an awful habit of rewatching films I’ve seen a thousand times rather than watching old films that I haven’t seen yet.

It's a print copied of the original camera negative that has been left otherwise untouched. I don't what what the point is of that, but I do know that that's the point.

crocodile 8,013 Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 I get what you mean. But then, I don't really know what the film is supposed ti look like. I've only seen it on DVD and Blu-ray which, I believe, were on the 1990's restoration. Who knows how accurate that one was. It's all black nagic anyway, if you ask ne. In either case, I'll see Nolan's version in September and for that opportunity I'm very thankful. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Yes. For the second Clarke took some aspects from Kubrick's film rather than his own novel. (For example Saturn being charged to Jupiter). The film 2010 feels like it draws from both. Visually from Kubrick, but the characters from Clarke. (Scheider's Heywood Floyd being a totally different character than then the bureaucrat in the 60's film). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 The Russian ship? Yes. 2010 doesn't really work as a sequel to Kubrick's film. I suppose it's better as a sequel to Clarke's book. Anyway, Scheider is good in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,333 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Peter Hyams was very much influenced by Alien, not only 2010 makes that clear but also Outland. In fact, he thinks Alien is the best science fiction movie ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
