If Emily Blunt gifts a pair of uggy ugg-boots to you, you hold them close - and you hold them dear - and you wear them day in and day out until they're worn down and even uglier than they were the day you've received them from that fine lady. Your turn, Mr Nolan.

[@TheConstructiveCritic888]

Worked on Dark Knight Rises for four days. I’ll never forget this… Chris is a very subdue person. BUT you can tell he’s sooo sentimental. I could name a few things, but I don’t wanna give away his privacy; so I’ll tell you this one specific thing. He wears his sorta famous London Fog long coat, and his SHOES… at least when I worked with him he wore these shoes that must’ve been really personal and sentimental to him because they were black dress shoes and the shoe part was disconnecting from the sole. So if you stood next to him, and looked down, you could see them literally falling apart. I think he goes out of his way to live like it’s the 1980’s or before, and he holds dear to the things that are important to him. Good man and a helluva leader on set. I could write a book about my experience observing him.

The "high wind" stuff is a reference to Matt Berry's "Toast of London" show, where Steven is trying to win the award for "Best Actor in a High Wind."

[@batgurrl]

I love her outfit too, with the cutouts. Who wore it best was a lovely snarky moment . Stephen’s remark about Lenny Kravitz was spot on, he makes the name Lenny sound cool. Emily on Nolan was too funny on Ugg Boots. He hates them so I gifted him some

Red paper really lends credence to Blunt's description of Nolan as being detached from technology. I remember over 30 years ago, computer games used to have their code sheets printed on red paper for the same purpose of preventing photocopying. Today, not only can you copy red paper, as another commenter explains here, it would be easier to scan or even take pictures with a mobile phone.

Remember that reaction when I came out of the cinema after Schindler's List

[@hanscombe72]

Yep. Same here. I saw it early 1994 in a theatre in the western suburbs of Sydney Australia. Everyone in the cinema was either crying or trying to hide it. It’s so well done but not a movie you watch for pleasure. Oppenheimer didn’t make me feel that overall but I found the scenes showing his visions in the auditorium really horrifying.

To scary? There is literally nothing scary happening in Oppenheimer. It’s a movie about a bunch of scientists working on a mathematical problem and a political fight in the background. It’s a long movie but you watch it with a child and you’re fine

Christopher Nolan and his team might be alarmed to know that you CAN copy red paper. If you have a certain type of color copier (which I do at work) you can change the output to the setting of "bi-color black & yellow." It works amazingly well.

Also, simply scan instead of copy. Makes transporting the copy much easier, as well.
