Inception (with implanted spoilers)

oops I forgot one
some people wanted a movie about dreams; NOT A MOVIE where all the dreams were made by architects

Is it the new Vanilla SKy?

maybe it's the Vanilla Sky that I actually liked?

some people want Joseph Gordon-Levitt

maybe

JGL is an incredibly thin person

like, you have to be built like a pencil to make Leo look semi-jacked

I think it's incredibly rude and condescending to say that this movie inspires no discussion or achieves none of the things it tries to do, when very clearly so many people are reacting to it by engaging in discussion and praising it's achievements.

this sentence is utter bullshit. saying it's a failure is not "rude and condescending" to anyone other than nolan. and as you say, no one here said it inspires no discussion.

wanting to live in a house but also loving "these kinds of buildings"

^^^ the worst line of dialogue in the film for me. don't really need to hear characters didactically voice nolan's opinions about architecture. felt like a john goodman scene from treme.

leo is hueg now!!

Worst line of dialogue was something about going deeper into Leo not deeper into the dream or something like that

like, you have to be built like a pencil to make Leo look semi-jacked

Leo's scrunchyface shaves at least fifteen pounds of baby fat off his total weight.

Quick review; Alfred, caek, some of titchy's posts. People generally seem start of reasonable and then get themselves riled up.

QED!

waht

something about going deeper into Leo not deeper into the dream

worst slash fiction ever

what do you mean 'waht', haven you not seen his last like six movies? he doesn't look like the gilbert grape kid anymore!

e.g. he is twice as big as this child [via HE]

who's the blond kid on the right?

Alfred I love you to bits but you're incredibly snide and bitchy about thing you don't care for at times. It makes people who do care for those things feel very scorned.

everyone looks hueg next to Ellen Paige, she is basically the size of a raisin

Inception=ilxor's Battle of Bunker Hills

and the most recent Leo movies I've seen were "The Aviator" (where he was wafer thin) and "The Departed" (where he was normal sized, or at least appeared that way next to Marky Mark and Matt Damon)

oh for fuck's sake, Nick. I've never been Armond White. Besides, the number of posters who loved or liked the film a lot outnumber the dissenters.

xp, you should see shutter island. it is the fever ray of 2010's movies.

I think what makes Leo sound thin is his Keebler Elf voice.

next to noted shrimpy person djimon honsou

that red x definitely adds about 20 pounds to his frame though

Quick review; Alfred, caek, some of titchy's posts. People generally seem start of reasonable and then get themselves riled up.

the early posters seemed to like the film, the later posters less so. this is not a reflection on you.

all I can really tell from that picture is that being at a three-quarter angle while walking makes it look like he has a gut; anyone can have a wide frame without being super muscular, particularly when shot wearing a backpack and an open shirt

also he doesn't look like he is the size of Jason Statham, which is the optical illusion caused by putting him next to JGL

Now you've got me imagining switching the ensemble casts of this film and The Expendables

^^^^^^ To think many of you were already complaining about the mumbling....

i just hate how Leo is so deadly serious in nearly all his films, nearly all the time (of the films i've seen at least).
overall i liked the movie - and Leo's very stern face did not take away too much from my enjoyment.

wanting to live in a house but also loving "these kinds of buildings"

^ this line actually bothered me mainly because who the fuck likes the look of drab office buildings?!

managers

very stern, very large

although again, that head next to Ellen Paige and JGL is going to look even larger than it is

leo's head is no javier bardem's head

some of the dream psychs kind of bothered me in a making-it-up-as-we-go-along kind of way and i was disappointed that most of the more striking imagery was given away in the adverts. but overall, again, i liked the film. not enough to see it again like one of my friends last night, tho.

They weren't drab office buildings! They were startling modernist skyscrapers that had fallen to disrepair and ruin.

I should just clarify that vie seen this twice now, each time accompanied, for a grand total of 75p for all 4 tickets. Thanks to a combination of Nectar points and Twitter.

When talking about the constant seriousness of Nolan's movies, it's worth noting that he cites Michael Mann as a big influence, Heat in particular on The Dark Knight.

ok - they were *modern* looking office buildings when not in disrepair - but still, who would want to be surrounded by that for 50 years?! i don't remember seeing a single tree in any of that!

i'd put my head down infront of a train too!

trees are mad overrated

I spent 16 years living in the middle of the woods off of a gravel road and it sucked so much, I can't even begin to tell you

Another random thing: in the way that Mies van der Rohe is all over The Dark Knight, Frank Lloyd Wright is all over this one with the wood, squares, rectangles, etc.

You thrifty swine. With Odeon's visa card booking fee it cost me and Mrs A £14 EACH for IMAX.

like, it was fun when I was 8 and "climb a tree" was my idea of a good time, but once I hit 12 and my idea of a good time turned into "see a movie" or "see a concert" or "join a performance group" it basically was the worst possible place to live in the universe

And yeah Eazy, that's a good point, when they were in the hallway of Leo's house I actually thought they'd used a location in one of FLW's Oak Park houses.

xp

ya - i'm not saying that they should have put them in the shire. but spending decades in a gigantic business district sounds more like a nightmare to me.
