This was all immensely amusing to read (I guffawed at the Penelope is the true hero TwitTok with Taylor Swift thingy). Like everyone else, I'm gagging to see this. Also, I know exactly what you mean about the insufferable tide of Nolan hot takes. It drove me absolutely bananas when Oppenheimer was out. But I suppose that's the price you pay for making films that are this successful.
Here's my irritated pushback on the Nolan naysayers re: Oppenheimer, if you're interested. :)
(For the record, whilst I generally love Nolan's work, they are not above criticism. It may surprise you to know that I have some serious issues with the screenplay for The Dark Knight, for instance, but I'll bore you with those another day.)
Uhhh it's so good to hear you found this amusing 🤗 This was 100% my intention. Yes, this is something that I've come to reflect on over the last couple of years. I noticed I started to feeling some sort of irritation towards Nolan but I couldn't quite place the source. Ultimately, I realized it was mostly because of his very annoying, very online "fans". Similar to you, I have mixed feelings about his work but I also have tremendous respect and admiration for him. Love the title of your article, haha - can't wait to read the whole thing!
