- A hexagonal-dihexagonal pyramidal black mineral containing aluminum, hydrogen, iron, oxygen, titanium, and vanadium.
-
(slang)A fan of British-American filmmaker Christopher Nolan (born 1970).
“Inception (2010) and The Prestige (2006) are two of his best known films but for core Nolanites, few of his works live up to Memento.”
“NOLANITES (Christopher Nolan fans) get ready for the Interstellar director’s World War II epic, where Nolan uses all the tools in his cinematic briefcase for an emotional ride at the cinema.”
“[Stephen] Kearse neatly arrests the bogusness of such seemingly defiant writing: “[Armond] White nearly bursts a lung blowing on his anti-comic book nerd dog whistle, and for what? To irk a few Nolanites? To rile up some Tarantino nerds? He’s gone from writing about movies to writing against viewers.””
