As Ive gotten older, Ive realized its better to make fun of yourself before others do.
So yes, Im the idiot who misspelled The Prestigenot once, but twice.
And no, it wasnt autocorrect.
I was just being illiterate.
When it comes to movies, I know nothing.
I might know more Chinese than I do about filmsthats how little I know.
So every Sunday, I ask Twitter to put me onto some classic movies.
Then, I sink into my couch and watch these classics for the first time.
This Sunday was a Christopher Nolan marathon.
My brain still hasnt recovered.
So forgive me if I sound dumb while ranking these moviesIm typing this with half a brain.
Prisoners 7.5/10
Prisoners is a fantastic movie; its just not my jot down of movie.
Im not the biggest fan of watching kids get abductedits just not my vibe.
So I spent the next hour screaming at my TV: Its the old broad!
Turns out, I was right.
And maybe Im just being a baby, but I dont like movies with Sopranos-style endings.
We heard him blow the whistlelet me see you pull him out of the ditch.
The concept alone is something youd have to be tripping on acid to come up with.
But no matter how they thought of it, the execution was perfect.
The whole thing was insane.
All in all, it was an outstanding movie.
But it wasnt the best one I watched that night.
The Prestige 10/10
This might be the greatest movie Ive ever watched.
The rivalry between Borden and Angier felt like watching prime Brady vs. Manning.
Two GOATs going at it.
A beautiful sight to see.
One of the greatest mind-fucks of my entire movie-watching experience.
At first, I thought, Oh my God, Angier is a genius!
He framed his biggest rival for murder and took his daughter.
But thenboomturns out Borden was always one step ahead.
The fact that Borden and his engineer were actually the same person sharing a life broke my brain.
Not only were they the same on stage, but they literally lived the same life offstage.
The closing scene sent chills down my spine, and Im still thinking about it this morning.
All in all, its safe to sayI finally understand the Christopher Nolan hype.
