Children of men is one of my top 3 least favorite movies of all time. Have fun, y'all.
Gruh, Inception is one of those movies that has a purposefully ambiguous ending that you can think as long as you want about and just find hints towards either interpretation (was he still dreaming? was he not still dreaming). It's a pattern in movies that I really dislike because it's basically a cop out for directors to add depth to their movies without it having any actual meaning. My recent viewing of K-PAX reminded me of this detestable phenomenon in movie endings.
There are certain adored directors that make me grind my teeth. Nolan is at the top of the list. Wes Anderson is right up there. Gregg Araki and Neil LaBute really and truly suck, too, but they aren't nearly as adored. Imagine, for a minute, moderating /r/movies and actively hating Chris Nolan and Wes Anderson.
Question - do you think dislike these movies more because they are popular / well-liked by the general masses? Like, if they weren't so generally universally "acclaimed" by internet folk, would you dislike them less?
In the company of men is almost universally forgotten and I hate it with the unquenched fire of a million suns. Almost nobody remembers The Living End and it's a wretched piece of shit. However, I am reminded with dreary regularity of how many people are wrong about Chris Nolan. ;-)
