The director's whole focus for this movie seemed to be centred on

Making cool same-shot transitions. Ohhh, she just jumped off the building but now she's HERE. SAME SHOT AND EVERYTHING! Oh looky, he just threw all that crap off the desk, but looky now! All back redressed again! Oh looky, he took the gun to kill himself but BAM! LOOK! It's back again! SAME SHOT!

Disclaimer: I'm not familiar enough with this director's work to know if he used the phrase "oh looky" with such regularity, or at all. But really, didn't he think of focusing on sh!t that mattered? Like making a movie.. Because people don't generally go to see films to be impressed by how quickly a clean-up crew can redress a set, or how neatly you can CG stuff back together again.

I don't really know what other shots they could have used to show the audience that everything Nick did was noneffective to the real world..

They didn't NEED to show it at all after the first few times. We all UNDERSTOOD that when Nick moved something, it moved back again. This is clearly established time after time. It got to the point where it was becoming ridiculous that the camera had to keep panning back and showing us this EVERY SINGLE TIME he moved something. For me, it was a distraction from the plot of the movie, because it became irritating.

I think this is what the OP was saying and I agree.

After much in depth research gleaned in exchange for approximately 12870 individual sexual favors I have returned with definitive proof that the director, INDEED, did use the phrase "oh looky", and with startling nay frightening regularity.

Or, at least, that's what the paperwork appears to be saying. I sort of fell paperwork first into a mud puddle due to the balance problems associated with the drug cocktail the doctors shot into me to put things "right" again...

Okay so now we know. Where do we go from here?
