I can't go to this link, it's blocked at my work, but supposedly is says that Christopher Nolan has quit a movie he was working on to start on the next Batman.

Also, thought this was good fodder for discussion:

In our latest Power of Film feature, we chronicle the The Top Rated Films of the New Millennium, looking at the 15 films made since 2000 that our users have rated as the best of the new millennium. Despite the prevalence of a certain trilogy and a particular comic book hero, there are surprises to be had, from independent films to non-English language films to even two animated favorites, one from just this year.

The list:
15. Requiem for a Dream
14. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
13. Spirited Away
12. The Pianist
11. The Lives of Others
10. The Departed
09. Amelie
08. Wall-E
07. The Lord of the Rings, Two Towers
06. Memento
05. Up
04. The Lord of the Rings, Fellowship of the Ring
03. City of God
02. The Lord of the Rings, Return of the King
01. The Dark Knight

#15, 14, 12, 9, and 6 are pretty good movies. OF course Dark Knight is as well, but I haven't seen the others.

They also left off The Passion of the Christ, but the critics didn't seem to like that one.

I hated Requiem for a Dream, but then I think all of Aronofsky's movies are dumb while trying to out-think the room. Didn't think Wall-E was really good enough to be in the top 15 for the last ten years, but its "anti-litter/overpopulation/fat people" themes got it much praise.

How in the world is requiem for a dream trying to "out-think the room"?
