What director are you?
« on: July 31, 2012, 03:45:42 PM »
I feel a lot of Christopher Nolan in me.

  • I'm very detailed, analytical. I want to have control over everything. The execution is usually impressive, but fragmented and soulless (I mentioned in another thread);
  • I want a story to be complex and epic. I want to explain every little detail, because the viewer has to understand as exact as I understand it myself (an impossibility). Dialogue therefore, can be unnecessarily explicit and long, somewhat pretentiously so;
  • I have a hard time creating a convincing love story, simply because I don't know love (:'();
  • I try to be deep, but really am not.

I don't even slightly agree with your assessment of Christopher Nolan.

So, you don't even slightly agree with my assessment of me! :D

@rumborak:

Hello there. Though life is tough, as usual, I've learned so many things last year.

I have Asperger's, with an IQ of 119 (really nothing amazing, but still way above average) with my memory skills at genius level.

I'm like a 64-bit Windows machine with like 64GB RAM (a huge buffer for short-term memory), a Solid State Drive (fast computing reflexes) a huge firewall, UAC settings at high risk (very skeptical, needing time to trust anyone, hard to make decisions), with 10+ programs running at the same time (thinking about a gazillion things all the time), trying to connect/understand Mac hardware/software (non-Aspies).

I'm surprised nobody came up with that joke at 5/8.

Agreed, that's a terrible and inaccurate character assassination!

Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.

If I were a director, it would probably be John Carpenter.

Maybe Darren Aronofsky, or Gaspar Noé or even Lars von Trier.

Wait am I just listing directors of some of my favorite movies at the moment?  :P

If I were a director I'd be Kevin Smith because I'm a writer and not a director.
