Random note from April '22. I think this was after watching one of the Batman movies, having not seen older ones like Memento in many years...
For a while I mistook his cerebral style for sophistication, but his skill is cerebral blockbusters (almost oxymoronic). He's not very artistically elegant. His movies are cheesy and unsubtle in all but plot. He's not a really sophisticated artist -- but he's cerebral and can make exciting movies, which is nontrivial. I guess I mistook him for sophisticated because I was cerebral before I was artistically subtle (if I ever even have been), and that's when I was watching his movies.
