    I don't know what to do...I think Tarantino was such an innovator, but I just watched Memento and Batman Begins and I really like Nolan's subtlety in the former and his humanity in the latter...

    I suspect you cutting off an arm and sending that is more likely.

    I'm with Brice, except that I've seen all of Nolan's films with the exception of Insomnia. And while I agree that he's a really great director, he just doesn't even come close to Tarantino in my opinion.

    Close to Tarantino in what regard ? Nolan is a much better story teller, and a much more versatile visual artist than Tarantino, IMHO.

    Oh no. I've just heard something horrible! Tarantino has just stated that he's not making any more films as a cause of the overwhelming cross-country Nolan love!

    Tarantino is far too formulaic. Toss in an underworld element, some cool dialogue, hip music and non-linear story-telling. If it wasn't for his awesome dialogue he wouldn't be nearly as famous as he is. Think of Pulp Fiction without his dialogue.

    Inglorious Basterds is the only movie I truly give him a lot of credit for his directing.

    I saw Pulp Fiction at the cinema three times - I don't do that sort of thing generally but I was asked to go with different groups of friends each time and it had intrigued me so much, (that switching between story pov was very unheard of then remember) that I was happy to watch it again.

    He was just such a breath of fresh air to cinema at that point in time and started a whole new genre, I think he deserves credit for that.

    I would love to see Tarantino make a movie without switching timelines, characters or implementing chapters like in Kill Bill and Inglorious Basterds. Is it so hard Quentin?

    Uh-oh. I used that phrase in regard to Nolan and Pam didn't like that very much. Be careful!

    You have a better chance of asking Nolan to make a film that doesn't take itself too seriously

    I've always felt Nolan is great at using intermitent humour. Like in Memento..."Who is this guy? I guess I'm chasing him." *gunshot* "No, he's chasing me." Nolan's unseriousness just comes through the characters usually instead of the visuals, where most unseriousness shows through a la Machete or Kill Bill.


    Nolan...another superior director losing to who is cooler. :'(

    I don't think it's a case of who's cooler - I have probably have ten years plus on you age wise, so to me Nolan is the cooler or more hipster choice. I just have the benefit of experiencing Tarantino at his debut into the directing world because of my age and that's what sways me.
