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.

they did closely study

Film criticism isn't dead, it just moved to jpegs.

ya - i didn't think about that. no random nudity = this is not a dream.

Very rarely have random nudity or corncobfaces in dreams, don't rate Scorsese.

And I believe it was my little brother who said "You know, when you undergo Dream Security Training, instead of installing bad guys with guns to appear, they should just tell you to not make any big -- and especially financial/corporate -- decisions based on what you dream. Shouldn't 'dreams are trivia, don't believe them' have been the beginning and end of it?"

I feel so silly still defending this movie in any way this long after I saw it (it was really enjoyable, but hardly worth a robust defense). Anyway, Dream Security Training is for normal theft. As far as anyone in the corporate world knows, there is no such thing as inception (what we are watching is brand new tech). And you can't really train someone not to think of a purple elephant -- or whatever big corporate secret they have.

Good points, good points.

Yeah, that's why good inceptors (?) are a high value asset I guess? Makes sense within the logic of the movie anyway.

inception plot borrowed from Carl Barks Scrooge McDuck comic book

How do folks feel about this movie compared with the one where J.Lo jumps into Vincent D'Onofrio's brain to fight art installations?

This was much better but I also enjoyed "The Cell", if only because it was so ridiculously silly.

yeah i like anything w/ overcooked art design

the jodorowsky school

if you will

In that case, recommend me some Jodorowsky...?

Holy Mountain!

to a lesser extent, El Topo

Shakey, that looks more like Keno Don Rosa than Barks...

holy mountain is just

yeah, I wasn't sure, erred on the side of Barks

xp

but yes HOLY MOUNTAIN IS JUST

thankig u for recommendations, the production design was my 2nd favorite part of The Cell, right after J-Lo's sweet behind.

yeah it was a pretty amazing-looking movie

Wowie, just watched that Holy Mt. trailer, will seek out.

god that movie rules

you are excrement. you can change yourself into gold.

Are people who complain that this movie's depictions of dreams is unrealistic not realize that dreams are usually uninteresting?

Pretend I said that with better syntax.

did we post that college humor thing about all the garbled plot points in this movie? because it's pretty on the mark.

i haven't seen it -- post it?

also xp "Hey, wanna hear about this dream I had last night?"

amateurist's memory is about as solid as the plot, almost eddy-esque:

i don't understand, not understanding this movie

Shorter Patrick Goldstein:

The olds, they do not understand

Oh wait, perhaps I am wrong

Pretty sure Carl Barks is secretly responsible for like 99% of every modern movie idea ever

really? you don't think that video has a point?

my favorite part of The Cell is the amazing horse slicing scene
a very high grade moment for a low grade film

thinking maybe years of playing video games prepared me to understand the inception storyline (ie: maybe you need to understand how to think like a video game, suspend disbelief, etc, or else you start to think too much into it and get super confused)

ie: questions like, "how come some people can shapeshift," or "why is it hard to wake up from limbo" would be found in the in-game codex that you never really want to read cause it's boring and you just want to fight some more dudes. (when you get really bored you can read vol 1-10 of the history of dream-theft + inception)

otm, cant be bothered by such questions
