I don't like JJ Abrams in general but I liked Star Trek and The Force Awakens okay. They're not great films and obviously not the best of either franchise but are fine and enjoyable.

Nolan is weird because Inception absolutely did the thing to me the op is describing and i didn't give a flying gently caress what happened to anyone in it, but I really like The Prestige and Westworld despite people leveling exactly the same complaints at them.

Chris Nolan has nothing to do with Westworld. It''s his brother Jonah, who used to do Person of Interest which turned into a very good AI show after it had a by the numbers first season. Pretty much the same trajectory as Fringe.

errr yea but his brother co-wrote the prestige, the batman movies, and interstellar; they're very much co-authors and of a piece creatively

Rian Johnson is a much better director than JJ, so I have hope for the next one.

Dude hell yeah he is. I was like "wuh" when I heard the announcement and then thought about Looper again and it made perfect sense. He's a very good choice to make a new Star Wars picture.
