      Being a movie nerd doesn't mean you have to have an encyclopedic knowledge of film history like an Eggers, Scorsese, or Tarantino. Some of these men and women have seen literally thousands of films over their lifetime, sometimes as studies for their own work; they represent the far end of the film fanatic scale. You don't have to know the most obscure, experimental, or even critically lauded films to be a film fan, nerd, or cineaste. Just a love for the art form and an interest in the history, production, or meaning of that art.

You're probably the kind of person that only watches blockbuster movies and then complains about those as well, because you know so much about what it means to create and tell stories. Get bent.

      @@Fanthomas1742 Yorgos Lanthimos has such a funny twisted sense of humour and always does something new in a film. Every film Eggers makes is another bland pastiche focused more on period accurate detail than interesting or new stories or characters.

    With the recent news that he's signed on to direct the labyrinth sequel, I've become much more curious as to this man's visionary process. I never expected him to make the move to whimsical animatronic fantasy, but I'm confident he's gonna do something completely beautiful in a way we never would have expected

    big fan of The Innocents, which is also one of Guillermo Del Toro's favorites (he uses the insect crawling out of a face of a statue a lot as used in this movie) It's truly remarkeble and has some of the most scary looking shots ever put on celluloid where actually almost nothing happens.. But they are incredibly creepy tableaux
