All Things: Directors



M. Knight Shamalamadingdong did a nice job with the Visit, despite a let down in the third act(went for safe/predictable instead of taking a chance). This looks like another mid budget shocker. Maybe he has found his niche.

Do these match up with your rankings? ;)

well, haven't seen Following or Interstellar...so I can't judge. Memento would probably be 1. Insomnia might have fared a little better in my rankings. And Batman Begins would have dropped to the very bottom. That movie is intensely boring and overlong by at least half a movie. But that's his style ain't it? Might have flipped Prestige and Inception. Inception was solid until it became a James Bond flick. He almost had me on that one.

Memento
TDK
Prestige
Inception
Insomnia
TDK rises
Batman Begins

Top to bottom.
 
Thomas Gibson, aka Arron Hotchner in "Criminal Minds" flames out at a writer while directing an episode, kicks him and is fired. Matthew Gray Gubler directs a lot of these episodes, so I hope he stays calm. Really sorry to see him go as he was a mainstay
 
J.J. Abrams & Meryl Streep Team Up for TV Adaptation of ‘The Nix’
http://collider.com/jj-abrams-meryl-streep-the-nix-tv-series/

Here’s the book synopsis for The Nix via Amazon:

A Nix can take many forms. In Norwegian folklore, it is a spirit who sometimes appears as a white horse that steals children away. In Nathan Hill’s remarkable first novel, a Nix is anything you love that one day disappears, taking with it a piece of your heart.



It’s 2011, and Samuel Andresen-Anderson—college professor, stalled writer—has a Nix of his own: his mother, Faye. He hasn’t seen her in decades, not since she abandoned the family when he was a boy. Now she’s re-appeared, having committed an absurd crime that electrifies the nightly news, beguiles the internet, and inflames a politically divided country. The media paints Faye as a radical hippie with a sordid past, but as far as Samuel knows, his mother was an ordinary girl who married her high-school sweetheart. Which version of his mother is true? Two facts are certain: she’s facing some serious charges, and she needs Samuel’s help.



To save her, Samuel will have to embark on his own journey, uncovering long-buried secrets about the woman he thought he knew, secrets that stretch across generations and have their origin all the way back in Norway, home of the mysterious Nix. As he does so, Samuel will confront not only Faye’s losses but also his own lost love, and will relearn everything he thought he knew about his mother, and himself.



From the suburban Midwest to New York City to the 1968 riots that rocked Chicago and beyond, The Nix explores—with sharp humor and a fierce tenderness—the resilience of love and home, even in times of radical change.
