Inception (with implanted spoilers)

Because it's something that actually looks like dream imagery? You know, what the film is supposed to be about - dreaming?

I have never dreamed of faceless people before

also pls don't take us back to OMG MOVIE SUKKED CUZ THERE WERENT TAPDANCING BEAVERS DOING KARATE LIKE IN MY DREAMS debates

look all i wanted were some fucking t rexes playing some art tatum jazz piano is that SOOOO MUCH TO ASK FOR

If this movie had been anything like some of my dreams, giant rats would have eaten everyone after they ran away from killer furniture.

I am very glad this movie wasn't like that because it would have been stupid.

If it was like my dreams it would just be about how I didn't receive that important email, where is that email. :(

Strange people with no faces feature in lots of people's dreams. In fact, I think we've had this very discussion on ILX.

loled very loud at zornbond's post.

I've never (to my memory at least) dreamed of anybody without a face. I have however dreamed I've been barbecued by a member of the KKK

what if the children had Ken Watanabe's face

only if it was on a stick

what if ken watanabe had the children's face?

"TAPDANCING BEAVERS DOING KARATE LIKE IN MY DREAMWORKS vehicle starring Jack Black & Smashmouth

skidoosh

i hate you all for making me LOL, i just missed two gucci mane punchlines and had to rewind

I was hoping the kids would have faces that were scratched out on the film stock, then it'd blur into kind of a nightmare pastel rainbow visual that faded to sand, then we'd cut to Cobb perpetually washing up on the Limbo shore and getting sucked back into the dark depths of the ocean, as if pulled down by a dark creature.

so basically you would have preferred it be directed by M. Night Shalamayan?

last half hour of the movie is just a loop of leo washing up on the shore, seeing the kids, falling asleep, washing up on the shore, seeing the kids, falling asleep, washing up on the shore, seeing the kids, falling asleep, washing up on the shore, seeing the kids, falling asleep, washing up on the shore, seeing the kids, falling asleep, washing up on the shore, seeing the kids, falling asleep, washing up on the shore, seeing the kids, falling asleep, washing up on the shore, seeing the kids, falling asleep, washing up on the shore, seeing the kids, falling asleep, washing up on the shore, seeing the kids, falling asleep, washing up on the shore, seeing the kids, falling asleep, washing up on the shore, seeing the kids, falling asleep, until the film runs out

dental plan

lisa needs braces

I fucking hate M. Night S's productions, so no.

that ending sounded like something he'd do post-2004

finally saw this last night, pretty sure i'm the last one.

felt kinda weird about the action elements...it's such a plot-driven movie that the cuts to random action scenes felt inconsequential and a little distracting. not following any of the action scenes for very long + dream logic = you don't feel very involved in them. this was especially true for me in the snow fortress part.

that said, the mombasa chase scene was cool, even though it felt pretty bourne-ish, and i loved the zero g hallway fight (it was basically a fred astaire homage, right?)

had a dream last night that i was getting ready to go to bed :/

that ending sounded like something he'd do post-2004

can you name one M. Night Shyamalan movie that ends like his ideal Inception scenario? They usually end with families hugging

You could have said "oh you wish it was directed by Nancy Meyers, then" and been about as on-target

hmm a twist ending in which Cobb doesn't really get reunited with his kids and he's really still in limbo potentially being tormented? ya can't see how I made that connection at all....

M. Night Shyamalan's Inception: "Where's Cobb?" "He's gone to find an architect in the country of France."

hmm a twist ending in which Cobb doesn't really get reunited with his kids and he's really still in limbo potentially being tormented? ya can't see how I made that connection at all....

"post-2004 shyamalan"= lady in the water, the happening, avatar: the last airbender. again, please name the movie you're referring to

tbf I haven't seen The last airbender but I think I'd have heard if there was scratched film stock and a looping surreal nightmare ending

lol, I'm not sure what I find more entertaining, you overanalyzing a joke post to mh from two days ago, or the idea that I meant that the scenario mh described LITERALLY happened as mh described in one of Shalamayan's movies

or you evading admitting that you were talking out of your ass

lol having fun arguing with yourself?

(for the record, I was referring to the Village, which came out in 2004, because it had a "oh really, come the fuck on" audience insulting twist ending. so my only error was thinking the movie was post-2004).

(actually what the hell, what M. Night movie hasn't had an insulting ridiculous twist ending)

well ok sixth sense and signs.

now see, was that so hard?

that said, I don't think mh was really describing an "audience insulting twist ending" of the shyamalan style. those tend to be pretty low on the surreal horror he described.

not to mention that the ending was intentionally left open to suggest Cobb may still be dreaming - that spinning top is arguably more "audience insulting" than underlining Cobb's fate

The best possible twist ending for Inception would be if Cobb learns that his first name is Cornonthe, and that he is dreaming in the field from Signs.

I still vote for Newhart waking up

xpost ahahahahhahaahhaa

so basically you would have preferred it be directed by M. Night Shalamayan?

oh horseshit

What kind of dream terrorists are these???

Cobb: You're waiting for a train. A train that will take you far away. You don't know where this train will take you --

(Mal's arm is ripped off by a lion)

you know what would've really kicked inception up a notch, an animated prologue where stick figures explain how shared dreaming works, narrated by a guy who sounds like glenn beck when he talks about america:
