@mindstormsabrewin I'm agree with you about Kubrick and his visual gift, but I m not agree about Nolan to be the next Kubrick not even in 50 years from now , don't forget that Nolan has 41 years old and at that point of his carrer Kubrick had like 5 masterpieces on hes belt ( the Last Razzia , Path of Glory , Spartacus, Lolita ,2001: Space odessy ), Nolan only has made two or 3 good movies , he's a good director but Kubrick was a genius

Now I know where PETER SELLERS found the 'voice' of CLAIRE QUILTY in LOLITA. He's mimicking STANLEY KUBRICK to the tee. Amazing!

@dejabu24 Oh, my god, did someone mention Nolan in the same breath as Kubrick?

@iasedu um, I wouldn't disagree at all with this. My favorite directors are the ones I find to be fairly consistent in keeping my attention even if the movie itself didn't do a whole lot for me. Funny that you mention lynch, he's one of my favorites. However, it can be debated that he also had a lot of help both from a conceptual standpoint as well as the editing of his films. Inland Empire is a film I find to be overdone. More than is needed.

[iasedu]

@NeonMeateDream99 A "good director" is not a person who have made good films, but a person who understand what a good film is. If you make 20 films, it will be more likely that some will be very good, than for all to be bad. A good director has to stay consistent, something I only see in David Lynch, Darren Aronofsky and Steve McQueen. A director like Spielberg has director many good movies, but also many bad ones, and I don't think he knows which is which.

[iasedu]

@NeonMeateDream99 You have to remember that the film 2001: A Space Odyssey was finished before the novel was published, because Clarke and Kubrick wrote it together, even though Clarke is given the credit - as he had the typewriter, Kubrick was given Clarke live input of what he wanted from the novel. And going from a plain text to visual film is no easy job, you have to read them both, look at what Kubrick changed included/excluded and why, and how he visualized it.

@NeonMeateDream99 oh ya nolan is wayyy better then most mainstream filmmakers. thats for sure. no doubts. i agree. in my opinion paul anderson is the master of this generation, but agian thats an opinion. they both are 2 of the best working right now. but ya lol kubrick is on another league. kubrick had a visual genius that will never be matched, and thats that. but then he was also an innovator, its like most say: No other filmmaker has advanced the "craft" of film more than stanley kubrick.

[NeonMeateDream99]

@malows1234 yeah, I wasn't trying to sound condescending... but I merely disagree completely when you say that Nolan is making "decent popcorn films". At least if we're considering the output of todays mainstream cinema as a whole... Nolan is one of the few consistently delivering films that are refreshing and not dumbed down/cliche with their endless explosions and crappy cgi as well as boring redundant stories. He definitely does challenge his audience a bit.. Kubrick is undoubtedly better

[malows1234]

@NeonMeateDream99 to me paul thomas anderson is the one making flawed masterpeices, while nolan is making decent popcorn films. but watever it all opinion. however its a fact that kubrick is a genius and neither anderson or nolan can match him, not visually, nor intellectually. i think we can agree.

[Transformers2themax]

@mrscreenwriter You're joking.

[NeonMeateDream99]

@malows1234 I disagree. I prefer Nolan to paul thomas anderson. Anderson has always been "decent" to me. I usually despise the acting and I feel like he doesn't know how to make a cohesive masterpiece. His movies are just too long. Nolan has a similar issue though... to each their own I guess.

[NeonMeateDream99]

@malows1234 while Kubrick is one of my favorites, I must point out the irony of your comment. Clockwork Orange was a film adaptation of the novel by Anthony Burgess. And, 2001: A Space Odyssey was also an adaptation of a novel written by none other than Arthur C. Clarke. While I think he's an excellent director, he evidently needed a heavy amount of incentive or reference for his films to have great concepts. ONE of the greatest, but I can think of others that are much better. Jodorowsky?
