So.... Something idea just popped into my mind this morning. Nolan is pretty much (IMHO) the best director out there now, if you could have him do a trilogy to close out or reboot a franchise, what would it be?
The only franchise I could come up with is to have him put the finishing touches on the James Bond sage

If you'll accept a new trilogy..I'd like to see him get The Inhumans on the right track from the beginning.

"The Isle", which is a hard-to-describe South Korean movie, last night on NF. At some level I was like "What the fuck did I just watch?", but in other ways it was brilliant, especially in the cinematography. There was very little dialogue (thus not much to keep up with in subtitles) and most of it was the expression of the actors, which I liked because they were very good. One thing I HATED was the animal cruelty, which apparently was real in the film, which I didn't know until afterwards. I will not knowingly support a movie where they kill or torture animals (unless it's a documentary or something in context) just to film it, which is why I haven't watched Cannibal Holocaust. So that was a huge damper for me, but if you overlook that, there were some extreme scenes (not so much graphic, as extreme) to make it interesting and cringe-worthy in spots, and some very good acting. The ending was more or less one of the bigger WTF moments I have experienced and it made no sense, but apparently it is metaphorical, not "real", which I don't get either, but...OK 
I give it 0/5 in general because of the animal issues, but for the film I give it 3.5-4/5, because it is the type of film I really like in terms of themes, acting, and cinematography.

Do not read this title
Just watched The Hunger Games last night. My opinion - A bad, overly-long remake of Running Man with The Lottery thrown in. Making the Capitol resemble Nazi Germany and its inhabitants look like overindulged gluttons in clown garb was ridiculous. After I watched it, I truly felt like I wasted my evening.

The Campaign the day it came out. I thought it was decent, not a whole lot to go with in terms of story lines but most Will Ferrell movies don't have that anyways. Galafinakis was hilarious and tons of good one liners to use

What I've always wanted to see is a movie version of The Running Man that is more true to the original Stephen King/Richard Bachman book; the Ahnold version was great fun but sort of cartoonish, and the book was a lot darker and more interesting.

I always thought the same thing about Jurassic Park as well (not a King book, but saying about the movie transition).

Watched The Black Hole from 1977 last night..It must be close to football season because Vincent reminded me of the Buckeye Pro Combat uniform.
