Inception (with implanted spoilers)

depends on how much alcohol you are bringing!

(in fairness I am being hyperbolic but in general I like my wilderness in places far away that are fun to travel to, like the Caribbean, rather than around my house)

I think most of us can agree that both city and country are awesome. Yay planet earth and the follies of mankind!!!

Owen Glieberman: confused.

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

all actors have 'a scrunchyface' whether they choose to use it

Leo's a pretty scruncher though. One of a kind.

he is the most boring guy to have to look at on a screen though

*pretty intense, I meant to write.

No, Leo is not pretty at all.

someone choose one of the below for me:

a. drive 20 miles and pay $13 to see this in IMAX

b. drive 5 miles and pay $6 to see this at a regular theater

leos pretty good, hes in pretty good movies, i have no argument w/him

B. Seeing it in IMAX was fun and all but not necessary.

leo is a fine actor who is in good movies who i have no desire to ever be looking at him, or listening to him

paradox

no way, i heard you had an argument with leo, jh0

ok fine, i did

thanks Ned, I'm gonna see this tomorrow so I can join this clusterfuck

man oh man did this thread get shitted up by retards over the last few days

And you're the Pepto.

da croop is generally not retarded but wtf at this:

less fun than A-Team, Twilight, Knight And Day, MacGruber...basically every movie I saw that WASN'T set in the subconscious

because obviously being fun is the main criterion, right? idk if this is even true anyway. macgruber had about three lols in it. it was shit.

because obviously being fun is the main criterion, right?

In an action movie? Well, yeah.

u guys r too conceptual, need to chill into dreamscape more

nolan needed to chill into dreamscape more and i hope you told him so during your argument

calling it 'an action movie' is just obtuse

Okay I loved loved TDK and mostly liked Inception, but certainly don't out Nolan in the "auteur" category. He just makes summer blockbusters I happen to enjoy.

not really sure when we're meant to use 'auteur'. kind of feel it's actually meant for directors of mainstream movies? so nolan does get to be one (like hawks, hitchcock, sirk).

because obviously being fun is the main criterion, right?

I never said fun was the main criteria, but with Hi Dere pushing that the film is just "entertainment" and few people arguing the film rewards on an emotional level, I think it's not wtf to note I found it less entertaining than all the summer mainstream stuff I bothered to see that wasn't set in DREAMS.

Lots of guns, shoot'em ups, quick editing, pulpy dialogue = action movie.

Also – he can't stage or edit an action scene. He's like Michael Bay with Godard on the brain.

true of batman begins, but you have no idea what you're talking about here

xpost

again you just sound dim. there's a lot more going on than that. plus, the dialogue wasn't remotely pulpy (it was over-expository).

Aside from the Dream Math and the moral that Leonardo DiCaprio still needs to let go if his guilt, I have to ask...

shitted up by retards

macgruber rocked

Retards who can't understand the complexity of Christopher Nolan's vision.

that auteur -- like Hawks and Hitchcock are auteurs.

i felt like this movie, not that it was exciting, but that it had a good feeling of excitement to it

What if I liked Macgruber and Inception?

then u r cool with me

But not if you only wanted fun, Nicole.

wanted: fun + scrunchyface

I didn't even hate Inception, I just found it a lot less rewarding than most other films I've seen lately (only movie I've seen and hated of late was Dogtooth).

think it could have been better

this movie got real tedious reeeal fast.

Scrunchyface, New York

hahaha i just caught up on this thread, it gave me lots of LOLs. I love you weirdos. Anyway, to the poster who said the dissenters must have gone into the theatre already hating it, I went in wanting to LOVE IT. AND I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED. Also, I think JGL is kinda cute but he is a bean pole. Maybe Juno ruined this for me, too.

Also the score got a little too intense and full of itself there at the end.

Lame things to complain about, but what can I say. It just didn't move me. It was better than Shutter Island, though, that was total shit.

i remember the score seeming ott the entire film!

I love it because it is so melodramatically cheesy!

JGL was so fun to watch in this movie.

starting to think paige and JGL were cast just to make leo look more adult.

"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)."

id say he was pretty perfect in catch me if you can and not so serious back then. the ultra seriousness/earnestness seems to have come in his more recent roles. plus nolan seems to like that in his actors so its not entirely his fault. and even then, hes not quite on the level of bale in TDK.
