Inception - Chris Nolan + Leo DiCaprio = best movie of the summer?

also, Im gonna take a stand right here and say as much as I love the "intellectual" movies, and being a bit of an avant garde film buff as I think many people here are, why the fuck can't I watch a popcorn flick now and then?

For chrissakes if I had to watch Godard and Lynch movies all the time I'd want to shoot myself in the face. It needs to be varied up now and then.

yeah but the problem was people thought this movie was one of them. and it's not at all. plus it has no humor or sex. incredibly boring. at least bond flicks have attractive women and the matrix had goofy comic book style.

The original, Abres Los Ojos (Open Your Eyes), was so much better.

it's heavier, and because of that, i wasn't able to enjoy the "science fiction" of it, if you know what i mean...

LOST? Are you fucking SHITTING me?

Yeah, Tom Cruise's crappier version of Open Your Eyes, one of the biggest television series of the past decade, and Eternal Sunshine are all underground intellectual productions.

Waking Life is good though.

you want an intellectual thinker type movie? watch some underground stuff, this is hollywood bullshit. thanks. the whole fast-paced-omg-what-we're-doing-is-so-important mentality that you see in CSI or Law and Order is wayy over done.

Am I reading this right? You called it an overbloated pile of shit before you'd even seen it?

well it CAN be done on some occasions... like with me and "Keinohrhasen". If you were German, you knew what I mean by that.

quick question: was that train that came out of nowhere cobb's fault? or was it the "trained defenses" or whatever the fuck?

The South Park episode was really good, they totally nailed the weak action in Inception and the dramatic music lol.

that was weird, I just read an article today about vancouver's "hoarding patrol" or whatever the fuck. They're a government funded project to help cure people of hoarding.

yeah. i remember reading a review by an actually quite trustworthy german newspaper beforehand....calling the film a cross between reading freuds the interpretation of dreams and an lsd trip. after having seen it....just

I think that was Mal (Cobb's fault). I think it was mentioned in the movie too.

it had nothing to do with Mal, it represented Cobb's homoerotic reaction to being "inside" Cilian Murphy's mind

lol but seriously guys i need some video or text proof. got into a huge argument with my friend. I thought they explained that when juno got real pissed at leo being all like "hey man that wasn't cool you bringing that train in hurr," but i could be wrong.

Not that it makes any difference to the overall shit quotient of the movie, but yes, it was Cobb's fault. His exotic piece of ass, Mal, was haunting his infantile, machine gun-filled dreams.

I finally got to see it last night. It was a pretty entertaining movie. Not very good, but not very bad either.

And depth? What depth? Compared to some Ben Affleck movie it's probably deep as fuck. But really now, the story isn't all that good.

At times it reminded me of a video game. I suppose the kids love that.

"Dude, did you see that? There's not two, but three levels of dreaming. OMG"

To be fair to Mr. Affleck, he did actually co-write Good Will Hunting.

Still, I think you get my point.
