I rest my case (the above is a word-for-word excerpt from the film's IMDb message board - in case you were wondering).

Possibly something like 90% of what is posted about Nolan's movies in the IMDb forum are obvious and desperate fanboys' attempts at explaining what each movie was really all about.

They go to great lengths in trying to reason everyone why what seemed like plot holes weren't actually plot holes at all. Or what seemed like bad writing, directing, acting etc., was actually outstanding.

It's like an engineer telling us when we complain about a p.o.s. technical gadget we just bought not working the way it's supposed to that it is actually quite easy to use: "Here let me show you. First you press here. Then you open the menu. No, not that menu, the other menu. Then you" ad infinitum.

If we didn't care about the characters, if we didn't care about the plot, if we didn't care about the visuals, then why would anyone with a half a brain expect anyone to suddenly view the same movie as a master piece by that one notion alone that it could have technically worked?

Might these be the same guys (they are always guys, you see) who lament that their girlfriends - if they indeed have one - either can't or refuse to have an orgasm even though they themselves are technically doing everything right?

Four words, homies. We. Do. Not. Care.
