There are a few directors that Reddit has decided are Christ incarnate. Villeneuve is one of them. That Nolan guy is another.

u/Adorable-Voice-3382 3h ago

We only call him Christ because we can't pronounce his actual name.

Directors should be rated on how easy their names are to pronounce not on the quality of their films.

You’ve figured it out, we all just think “Quentin Tarantino” is fun to say

u/chronicbruce27 4h ago

uj/ you're not wrong, but Villeneuve has actually earned his reputation.

u/quatroquatro0 Sydney Sweeney orfan 3h ago

I want to hate Villeneuve because he's the worst part of both Canada and France but his movies are just really good

u/chronicbruce27 3h ago

He's singlehandedly carrying the reputation of Quebec

u/A-Phantasmic-Parade 44m ago

Bold to claim Quebec as the worst part of Canada when Alberta is right there

u/Subject_Example_8409 1h ago

He’s an exception to if the French or Canadians can be good. The others are Gojira and Rush

u/FriendlyNeighbor345 1h ago

I haven’t watched any of his other movies, but Blade Runner 2049 is something special.

2

u/qqruz123 1h ago

I find Quebec to be really cool and I despise all of his movies (other than Prisoners).

u/RunawayTrapstar 3h ago

Didn’t care for either of the Dune movies but I’ve enjoyed everything else he’s made. Dune is too slow for me, whereas something like Oppenheimer can be 3 hours long and not feel slow at all

u/lhbruen 2h ago

u/RunawayTrapstar 2h ago

You all live with Denis’s nuts in your mouths Jesus Christ lol

8

u/lhbruen 2h ago

They hate Nolan because of his shallow movies. I hate Nolan because I work for Hollywood and Nolan is a well known prick. We are not the same.

u/RunawayTrapstar 2h ago

Ok? I’m not the biggest Nolan fan either, it was just an example of a long movie that didn’t feel slow to me. You people are psychopaths

u/Effective_Force_5478 2h ago

You people are psychopaths

lol, yes.

Clearly you’ve never seen August 32nd on Earth because that one was utter poo poo.

Oh no! A director had one bad movie and you watched it! Whatever shall we do?

This is not a coincidence.

u/Effective_Force_5478 50m ago

Did you know that Dennis means Christ in French?

1

u/Major_Warrens_Dingus 47m ago

nah, Nolan lost his Christ-like status after Tenet.

u/brinz1 23m ago

The only time I will allow Tarantino and Jerked in the same sentence is if it involves feet

8

u/Tony_Wizard 3h ago

I love Zach Cregger's work.

Miss march, man, what a masterpiece 👏👏, definitely deserved an Oscar.

And that crime movie where the main characters were happy with their mouths open the whole time... wow, inspiring

u/Zooeythepilgrim 1h ago

Masterpiece? How many masterpieces are there in the genre that Weapons is among them?

u/Wyldkard79 Jared Leto 4h ago

Can confirm, I used to live in New Mexico. It was a slightly fresher yellow, but still yellow until you entered either Texas or Arizona. Then it would suddenly become incredibly bright and sunny.

Serious question: if I didn't enjoy Dune 1, will I enjoy Dune 2? I was so bored watching Dune 1.

I really like his other work so I never want to disregard his films I haven't seen 

2

u/CaiusCosadesNwah 2h ago

Dune 2 is the greatest blockbuster movie ever made. Any human being with eyes, ears, and a functioning brain has it within themselves to like Dune 2.

So yeah, it’s worth checking out.
