She’s still a millionaire and hot, though. These types of movies never are that popular, most people prefer the scream/jeepers creepers type movies to these generic covenant set ones.
<blockquote>its not difficult to see why he's so popular. Over the last 15 years, audiences have been bombarded with sequels, prequels and remakes. There are only a handful of filmmakers who make original films anymore and people are dying for entertainment with some substance. Nolan doesn't give his audience that at all, but he's very good at making it seem like he does.</blockquote>
Well said.
It's because Hollywood isn't so great anymore. I mean, it will always churn out entertaining movies to some degree, but its golden age from the 30s to the 80s is gone, and basically someone like Nolan is today's equivalent of David Lean or whatever. He's the best of a mediocre bunch.

He's no Chevy Chase. His attempt at kissing christina applegate at the end was hilarious, he was way too forceful. It just screamed "i'm a geek who used to crush over kelly bundy and now i get to kiss her!". She looked like she didn't like it at all, lol.
I can see that, but I think NATM probably borrowed more from the 80s movie 'My Science Project'. They basically took the last third of that movie, where the school becomes a time warp, and made a whole movie out of it.
