I must say i agree with you, Panda. Whatever Nolans intention is i doubt very much he wants to bore his audience. That is never a trademark of good SciFi! He comes up with overblown, convoluted films so that the critics will praise him, call him a genius. Leave Chris Alone!
He gets the Florida Man seal of approval.

I'd take that over an Oscar.

Memories (1995)- Animated anthology film with 3 separate sci-fi short films. I'll provide brief word on all 3 segments.
Segment 1 "Magnetic Rose": A trash collecting crew in space receives an SOS transmission from a strange satellite floating amongst a meteor belt and its crew goes to investigate. It's like a ghost story in space, and probably the most creative blend of science fiction and traditional ghost story I've ever seen. It's very creepy and melancholic in its atmosphere and story, not to mention it was written by the legendary Japanese animated filmmaker, Satoshi Kon. I recommend watching the movie for this segment alone, feels like a mix of HG Welles and Edgar Allan Poe's style. Rating: A+
Segment 2 "Stink Bomb": After mistakenly digesting an experimental pill, a man finds he has turned into a living biological weapon of mass destruction who's own body odor kills everyone who stands within radius of him within seconds. A bit of a black comedy. Pretty good, but I feel like it droned on for too long and could have been shortened by about 10 minutes. Rating: B
Segment 3 "Cannonfodder": A look at an authoritarian society forced to consistently produce and fire gigantic canons at a mysterious enemy force they've never actually seen. This one is really boring, there's almost no story, just world building. Passionate world building is fine, but don't let it drone out the actual story. While the idea of the city this short takes place in is interesting, it just doesn't make for a great segment. It's a pretty obvious satire of many of history's most infamous authoritarian governments, though, multiple imagery throughout the short references images associated with Nazi Germany, USSR, China, North Korea, etc. To give it one compliment, it definitely has the most unique art style out of all 3 films, but that doesn't make up for it being boring. Rating: D
So yeah to summarize the first segment is amazing, while the other 2 are kinda dwarfed by the expectations the first segment brings. Segment 2 is decent, though.

I watched Ridley Scott's Robin Hood again, but this was the first time I've seen the directors cut, there's about ten extra minutes or so of story, didn't really notice what was different though, think it was a little more fighting here and there. But either way, one of the better RH films, just enough grit to make RH a bad a*s. Need to pick up the Costner version, I kind of enjoy that one as well, not as serious but Rickman's characters were always fun, miss that guy dammit. Of course he was the best at being Snape, just nailed it.....

Unfortunately, have not read the story, so I can't compare it to the movie. As for the movie, that was strange, creepy and i enjoyed it.

I'm just finishing up David Lynch's take on Dune, seen it numerous times before, just watching it again. The first time I watched it was just because Sting was in it but I enjoyed it and have always gone back to it here and there. Talk about a great cast, I mean Kyle was good back then, Patrick Stewart, Sting, and so many others. The only down side to the film is Sean Young, great performance, I'm just reminded of that Young/Burton rumor, or fact, not sure if he ever confirmed what I'm talking about. Best thing about the film, that final battle between Paul and Feyd, the facial expressions from the bad guys when it seemed Feyd was going to win changing so radically when he lost, they sold the loss very well.
Heard a remake is on the way that will be two parts, but when it comes to upcoming films, its just whatever I hear on Facebook or here, I don't go to celeb sites anymore, they're always revealing bad things about actors I like these days, I'd prefer just not to know.

VFW
A typical night for veterans at a VFW turns into an all-out battle for survival when a desperate teen runs into the bar with a bag of stolen drugs. When a gang of violent punks come looking for her, the vets use every weapon at their disposal to protect the girl and themselves from an unrelenting attack.
A tribute to john carpenter Movies. A good old fashion gore fest with some good old fashion 'heroes.'
