Inception (with implanted spoilers)

audience cried at mine

Ending is such an unnecessary cheap shot

I say again, I really liked it, made me lol. Both times I've seen it!

this movie is completely ridiculous. i sort of want to fart in christopher nolan's mouth. i liked jonathan taylor thomas though.

nolan is like the cleverest dumb person ever.

Ending is such an unnecessary cheap shot

iirc the original ending involved Cobb watching a group of mimes play tennis with no ball, and then Cobb disappearing into thin air.

No Yardbirds No Credibility

Don't remember feeling like that ending was a cheap shot

Also that bit at the end of Flash Gordon where there's a question mark tattooed on Ming the Merciless's skull is a better ending

Though Chris Nolan was gonna come on and go "aaaaaaah"

Then Leo's head splits in half and underneath it's John Cusack

And he's carrying a haddock

On which he blows Liliburlero by way of apology

There's a question mark on Ming's ring!?!?! I gotta watch that right now in slo-mo! All these years I had no idea it was "to be continued ..."

In the original script, btw, Leo hops off the screen and kicks each and every audience member in the balls. It turned out to be prohibitively expensive, though I hear Kevin Smith has been working on his own version.

the original ending in the shooting script was just a title card that read "OR WAS IT"

Also, muddying the waters:

COF: How much does costume reflect the inner machinations of the plot, particularly in a film such as Inception? For example, Cobb’s children are wearing the same clothes at the end of the story as they are in his dream ‘memory’ throughout the film. Is there something to be interpreted here?

JK: Costume design reflects greatly on the movement of the plot, most significantly through character development. Character development is at the forefront of costume design. The characters move the story along and with the director and the actor the costume designer helps to set the film’s emotional tone in a visual way. In a more physical sense the costumes’ style and color help to keep the story on track, keeping a check on time and place.

On to the second part of your question, the children’s clothing is different in the final scene … look again…

the music in this is way overbearing, from the very first moments

i am really enjoying all this inception humor, carry on

this movie blew

Saw it last night, the title could have been:

BETTAR THAN THE MATRIX
a film by chris nolan

I think I said toward the beginning that there was no way the real world was "real" because no one dresses that well all the time. Anyone else notice that people were closest to casual clothing and a realistic look in limbo?

the music in this is way overbearing, from the very first moments

^this. casually throwing music around in films has become like a band-aid for bad dialogue. triteness becomes melodramatic, or something.

The last movie I saw in the theater that I went to last night was the Christian Bale Terminator one, and I kind of giggled at the heavy music the first time it came on because it really tied the movies together.

BTW, I really liked this one.

this was a very enjoyable film, ya'll need to relax.

for whatever its flaws this is a pretty good summer blockbuster, and it aint a sequel or a transformers movie or twilight or some shit like that

and it does some ambitious, fun stuff pretty well

this was a very obnoxious film, ya'll need to tighten up

ha

one of my friends didn't seen the trailer, went in expecting yer basic thriller, and came away satisfied. i saw the trailer and was expecting something much more ambitious and was sorely disappointed.

Didn't hate it when I watched it and it does have some nice scenes but I still think it's v. empty so I end up reacting to the fanboy reaction - is there a word for the opposite of exegesis, where you complicate the source material more than it warrants? Still don't think Nolan is good at writing human beings, might explain why most of his main characters are Aspie variations.

Expectation is a prison, as the saying goes. I thought this was fun as hell.

like i said upthread, i'm comparing this movie to transformers 2, not stanley kubrick or luis bunuel

i didn't nec. hate or even dislike this film, per se. just thought a lot of dialogue was pretty schlocky and the action scenes were not filmed well. i'm a fan of batman begins for what it's worth, negative or positive.

didn't see dark knight (live in a cave)

so does batman, think u might relate to the film

lol

I was half joking with the Matrix comparison above, but really:

Movie that questions scope of reality, has a posse of overly well-dressed experts, ridiculous action scenes that could only happen in a dream world.

That, and this was a decent con game film of sorts.

I don't think the makeup department has ever seen elderly Asians.

When Leonardo finally sees the front of his kids in #Inception - if only they'd each had the face of Richard D James.

five stars for that joke

a decent con game film of sorts

First thing I've read that makes me want to see this TBH

I should have stayed away from all reviews, I say this all the time but I never do :(

did u read this whole thread and not see the film

That's kind of dumb, I closed the thread as soon as the first batch of people posted post-viewing and didn't open it again until I saw the movie.

that college humor thing is pretty otm

"I don't think the makeup department has ever seen elderly Asians."
maybe a job for CG in the future?

Watched about 1/4 of "Shutter Island" so far, and I think Scorsese's OTT b-movie gusto is a better match for ridiculous subject matter than Nolan's po faced sci-fi. But then, no one would place Nolan on par with Scorsese, so I suppose it's not a fair comparison beyond the star and the silly scenarios.

"I don't think the makeup department has ever seen elderly Asians."

Almost forgot how distracting this was when I saw it.
