The assumption list is very accurately dark. Well done, sir. We must know what we're up against. The Cluster B typically crazy-eyed bitch (I think she thought she was sexy...yecchh) who got 14 months I fear will get out early when some TDS'd female judge reduces the sentence. It's painful for some to hear but so helpful when you're ready to hear that true Cluster B's don't/can't love.
I’ll admit, I was one of a large number of Nolan fanboys who thought he was above the whole culture war. I thought he was someone who just wanted to make interesting movies, and I gave him the benefit of the doubt with his casting because nearly every other time he cast someone surprising - Joe Pantoliano in “Memento,” Gary Oldman in “Batman Begins,” and especially Heath Ledger in “The Dark Knight” - it turned out to be the perfect choice. But what we know about “The Odyssey” so far, and especially what Nolan has said about it, makes it clear he was always a true believer. Nolan doesn’t owe me anything, but it’s still hard not to feel betrayed.
