Yes, Christopher Nolan Loves Fast & Furious Movies As Much As You Do
Christopher Nolan has weighed in with his thoughts on the Fast & Furious franchise. Some say Fast & Furious is their “guilty pleasure,” but Nolan said The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that he has “no guilt” about being a fan of the franchise (via Variety).
He said Fast & Furious is a “tremendous action franchise,” adding that he watches the films “all the time. I love them.”
For anyone new to the series, Nolan recommended starting with Tokyo Drift. He remarked that the latest films have their own “specific arc and mythology,” which is why he recommended starting with the 2006 film and enjoying it as its “own thing.”
Nolan previously said he had a “very soft spot” for the Fast & Furious series, so the revelation that he’s a fan of the franchise isn’t a totally new thing.
The latest Fast & Furious movie was 2023’s Fast X. A sequel is now in the works and might be released in 2025.
As for Nolan, his latest film, Oppenheimer, is nominated for 13 Academy Awards this year, including Best Picture and Best Director for Nolan. He’s never won before, but also earned nominations for Memento, Inception, and Dunkirk.
Humble Bundle’s Spring Sale Is Stacked With Great Game Deals
Humble Bundle’s Spring Sale 2024 is underway, offering big price cuts on hundreds of PC games, including titles from big publishers and small indies. Many of the games in the sale are even Steam Deck compatible.
The sale is kicking off at the perfect time for anyone who recently got into the Fallout TV series on Amazon Prime and wants to experience the post-apocalyptic games the show is based on. Every mainline Fallout game is discounted in the sale, including the two original isometric 90s RPGs available in the Fallout Classic Collection for $5 (was $20). If you want to play modern, first-person titles in the franchise, Fallout 3: Game of the Year edition is just $5 (was $20), Fallout New Vegas: Ultimate Edition is $6.49 (was $20), and Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition is $15 (was $60). You can also get Fallout 76, which offers an online multiplayer spin on the series’ open-world RPG formula, for just $8 (was $40). Many of Bethesda’s other open-world RPGs like Skyrim and Starfield are also part of the sale.
If all those Fallout deals aren’t enough post-apocalyptic roleplaying for you, there’s also Wasteland 3: The Colorado Collection, which features an isometric perspective and turn-based combat like Fallouts 1 and 2, but with modern graphics, controls, and presentation.
While big sales like this are the perfect chance to pick up older releases for cheap, you’ll also find discounts on newer games like the first-person survival shooter Abiotic Factor and the medieval city-building strategy game Manor Lords. It’s also a good time to grab acclaimed indies like Celeste, Inscription, Slay The Spire, and more while they’re on sale.
