I don't like Nolan but I will watch this. So what is it about these films that you don't like? The Prestige Memento Inception

Also wrote Man of Steel, which I liked a lot. Didn't like the last 2 Batman movies, but Batman Begins was extremely good.

I could be wrong. It happened a couple of times before.

The premise looks a bit too "we're destroying the earth ahhhhhhhh!" For my tastes.

The term "producer" in film and television is about as nebulous as it gets. There are people who get producing credits that range from doing absolutely nothing, to writing, to financing, to serving as directors in 2nd units, to being involved in story, casting, and all aspects of production.
It's literally become meaningless. At least "written by", "story by," and "directed by" still are concrete (relatively).

The Jedi Master The same can be said of 2001 as well. I didn't read Contact, but endings like that aren't easy to put in movies.

Good movie until the very end IMHO. Exactly, i don't remember any other movie that got me so well hooked and ended up as huge disapointment because of the end. And by "end" i mean the contact it self talking to "the father". That part was too fantastic and felt like stupid.

I'm of the opposite opinion. I think the film was more interesting because Kubrick decided to keep so much of the story a mystery while in the book Clarke sought to explain quite a bit of what was going on.

I think they lost the audience some with 5 minutes of trippy effects rather than showing the switching station described in the book. Becoming the Star Baby part was fine though. Since the movie had to stand on its own, at least at the time, I think sticking to the book would have made more sense. Even if they just cut that groovy sequence down to 5 seconds it would have been better.
