Why not go and shoot the sequel to that desert island movie of his?

Lock Stock was fun, Snatch I thought was good, Swept away or whatever that thing was with his wife in it was watchable but weird and Revolver was good to look at but mad in the head and I still have no idea if it made any sense!?

Glad to hear he's back making the Mokney Gangster stuff again even if he is a bit of a sham himself.

As for Snatch, I absolutely love it. Sure, it's superficial and derivative, but made with such panache that it can be excused for all that. It's also still one of the funniest movies made in the last ten years.

As far as I'm concerned, Snatch and Lock Stock still go a long way in making me optimistic about RocknRolla.

And Swept Away is not only awful, but a REMAKE. Curse you Ritchie, curse you you wannabe gangsta Mockney grandma-shagging hack

I blame Madonna for this. No-one in Britain had heard of that shit until she decided to come here.

I can buy that.

Changian representing all that is awesome in the world, of course.

Boyle is massively derivative, and until 28 days it looked like he'd fucked his career right up with a string of mediocre to downright dreadful efforts.

So far Marshall is ahead of Boyle, but we'll see.

I liked Stardust, but it ain't no Princess Bride. Howver, both Vaughn and Marshall are better than Richie.

And Fuzhi- Revolver was shit. Deal with it.

Trainspotting> Descent

Doomsday>>>>>>>>Life Less wank.

The first 2 are closer though, and I can be talked into Shallow Grave been better than Dog Soldiers.

I do agree that Marshall has only made Genre films so far, but I would argue Descent is a "singular" film.

There's no way Marshall tops Boyle. Although, give credit where credit is due. At least both of these directors are making original stories. That can't be said for many American directors.

Seriously though, he is a bit of a one trick pony. I avoided Swept Away like the plague and I have yet to see Revolver so maybe Ritchie will surprise me. Granted, I did enjoy both Lock Stock and Snatch. He's got a good visual style but I would love for him to branch out a little.

However, the tide turned against him when he married Madonna then Swept Away was SO awful and he cast his wife that the mood really soured. He then was at least 5 years before Revolver, which turned out to be pish, and there was the stupid Kaballah thing.

He doesn't deserve it.

For those of you that want an more classic approach to Sherlock, Kenneth Branagh. He can direct and star or direct and Michael Caine can star, with Timothy Spall as watson. Just don't go too old and use Ian McKellen or Christopher Lee (even though they are only 10 years older then Cain).

As for who would be an updated Sherlock I'd say Paddy Constitine or possible Steve Coogan (though I think it may come off as too comical). Either way Timothy Spall has to be Watson. Just as long as they don't use big names like Viggo/Law/Bloom/Depp. And for some reason Iam Holm needs to be in there.

Anyway, if not Nolan, do you have any other suggestions?

Let's go, Easy Co.
