@internetsdairy @TheBreadmonkey @Nickiquote I have a genuine soft spot for Interstellar, Inception was great in the cinema, not sure how that one holds up now
@pikesley @TheBreadmonkey @Nickiquote Wasn't The Prestige a Nolan film? I wouldn't mind seeing that, the novel was fantastic; Christopher Priest can actually do the kind of high concept doubling/multiverse kind of thing that I'm guessing Nolan is often attempting. Well he could before he died
@internetsdairy @pikesley @TheBreadmonkey The Prestige seems more and more stupid the more you think about it. I am not sure if that’s Nolan or Priest’s fault. It’s very magical realism or something, but I think a lot of people’s response is just: nah, that’s daft.
@Nickiquote @pikesley @TheBreadmonkey The book is so neatly done (as far as I remember, it's probably 20ish years done I read it). Have you read any Priest? Or his partner Nina Allen? Who writes similar concepts - like they really must have talked about their work way more than any other writing couple - but maybe more successfully as she can do really grounded, real world sections. Priest is a bit more misty (but lots of his are still great)
@internetsdairy @pikesley @TheBreadmonkey I haven’t, I’m afraid. I will investigate.
@Nickiquote @pikesley @TheBreadmonkey hope you enjoy! Nina Allen should be a lot more famous imo
