Inception (with implanted spoilers)

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."

"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

oh horseshit

What kind of dream terrorists are these???

lol

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:

dumb cob?

seasoned con, dom cobb

did cobb incept moll from limbo? how did he go deeper to plant the idea?

why didn't he just skype w/his kids

wouldn't cillian murphy think it was weird he had all these intense dreams and then woke up in business class next to his dream bros?

the one thing that bothered me is that Cillian Murphy's character believed the "alternate draft of the will" was real, because it was buried deep in the attorney's subconscious. when they woke up and he told the attorney "hey, I'm gonna be my own man", and the attorney asked why, wouldn't he say "wtf, what other will, what the hell are you talking about", and then Cillian Murphy calls him a liar and the attorney insists he's not and Cillian cold cocks him in the face and then the attorney accidently shoots him in panic. I mean....these things HAVE AN IMPACT

i think the way it works is that cillian murphy's character believes in the alt draft of the will in the dream?
and then he wakes up and he's like 'i had a dream, there was rain, and scary dudes, and hotels, and snow, and my dad, gosh that was a crazy dream' and like it's a normal dream he forgets most of the details, but the idea of 'my dad wanted me to be my own man' (of which the alt draft of the will is only a symbol) is in his brain, and then he acts on it.

like, even when i remember my dreams i don't wake up out of them thinking the stuff i dreamt actually existed?

or at least not for very long.

yea but like....you aren't an extractor or haven't had ideas implanted!. In addition to 'dreaming', Cillian believed he was extracting from his lawyer's brain but in reality he was being implanted.

and not only that Ken Watanabe's character remembered the details of the extraction attempt on him -- he used it as an audition!

Leo has managed this exorbitant payday thanks to him forgoing his usual initial upfront fee and instead opting for first-dollar gross.

Smart guy.

Did the soundtrack remind anyone else of the intro to The Cure's 'Just Like Heaven'?

one of my friends just facebooked complaining that Mr. Nolan didn't need to make his movies "10 hours" long. Is 2 hours and 20 minutes really that long?

It REALLY didn't feel like a long 2 hrs 20 mins to me. I was flat out exhausted yet it kept my attention the whole time.

then again this friend is a contrarian idiot
