Do you mean Memento? IMO still, by far, Nolan's best film.

Proving, Batspider, fairly conclusively that one can like one Nolan film and not like another. So let's be a little less rude to the fans, yes?

Yes, Memento, sorry. The Momentum sounds like a DTV Speed rip-off

The Prestige looks interesting, but I fear no movie can live up to its "Batman v Wolverine, refereed by David Bowie" hype

You'll recall that there's a reason why Cellic board of directors only offered the European Cup Winning (and non-RC) Jock Stein a job on the club pools. Scotland used to be messed up for everyone. But we are the only european country that never shed Jewish blood, which dare one say outweighs rather the singing of non-PC songs at fitba games.

Anyway, don't want to drag this thread off-topic.

Highly recommended. John Landis caper movie with a shockingly young Jeff Goldblum and a never-lovelier Michelle Pfeiffer. Bowie plays a sleazy cockney hitman and gets into a fight with Carl Perkins! Plus there's hardly a seventies/eighties director who doesn't cameo in it - Cronenberg, Mazursky, Landis himself as a heavy. Bought it again recently on Region One for a couple of quid.

Well, like Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney and co, The Dark Knight Trilogy goes out of its way to demonstrate just how counter-productive torture is. But it's more ambivalent about "extraordinary rendition" - OK when The Batman does it (though it gets Lao killed - whoops!), not-OK when the CIA does it.

Are you a fan of (famous Glasweigan!) Grant Morrison's take on Batman? I'd maintain that he's written the greatest Batman stories of my lifetime, the "Batman R.I.P" arc especially. He entitled one of his Joker-featuring chapters "The Thin White Duke of Death", which is superb.
