I KNOW!
I will admit I did not see all of Brokeback Mountain, basically because I saw 30 minutes and nearly cried at how terrible the dialogue was (Also, could not understand Heath Ledger's fucked up accent. I love Heath, but come on.). I felt physical pain. Also, I read the book, and I do not know what the big deal was. The book sucks! I think it's one of those books you're supposed to like because it's so edgy or revolutionary or whatever.
:cough: Anyway, sorry for hijacking.
I saw Inception again tonight and it was possibly even more amazing the second time. You're right by the way, FP, Cobb's childrens' clothes are a little bit different at the end (I actually almost missed the difference, it was so subtle). What an unbelievable film. I can't wait til it's out on DVD so I can watch it whenever.
I had my infatuations, but we both know in our hearts who is the sole love of my short, bright life.
DVD is nice, but I can't wait for the Blu-Ray. This is one of those films that's perfect for blu-ray.

I'm drooling at the thought of Inception on blu-ray
I really, really liked it ... but I also thought it was terribly depressing. But really good. But really depressing. Thumbs up to Nolan for making such a good movie and also making me want to punch him for making me sad.
A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.
There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
Finally seen it. Fucking hell! That was pretty bloody amazing! Probably one of the smartest american films I've seen over the past few years.
And why did no one warn me that this film had Joseph Gordon-Levitt in it?!? Everyone knows he only stars in fucking great films, look at Brick! (Well, with the exception of G.I. Joe, but even he's admitted that's just the one exception!) I would've seen this much sooner if I knew he was in this!
Can't imagine any film in the next five years being half as clever as this, really. Well...maybe Tintin, but only the first film, and only half as clever, since Moffat didn't do the whole script. But I must say, Inception certainly impressed me.

I am shocked that you think Brokeback was a terrible film! I thought that it would have been JUST as powerful with a man and a woman but it's the emotions behind it that mattered.Originally Posted by ka-mai
Okay, so I haven't read what everyone else has said, and I'm no master theorist, but we never see Saito and Cobb shoot themselves. We don't even see them ride all the kicks back up. So maybe it was all Cobb's dream? I mean, after he meets Yusuf and tries his stuff, he doesn't see his totem finish its spin. And like Feev said, Saito touched Cobb's totem.Check this out guys, I found this floating around on the internet, thought you guys might appreciate it
From the very beginning of the movie, I already knew that Cobb had performed inception on Mal and that it had somehow caused her to commit suicide. I didn't think it was a malicious act, but I thought perhaps the whole movie would turn out to be Cobb's dream and that the finality of it was to find out the truth about Mal's mysterious death. Like an investigation.
I was way off the mark there, but maybe it's still a possibility.
I, too, heard a couple of people get annoyed at the lack of resolution at the end, but I absolutely loved it! Whether he was still dreaming or finally awake and freed of his charges, Cobb found peace. And I think that's what's most important.
Also, many of the things that other characters said were repeats of what Mal or Cobb had said previously. Like when Saito asks Cobb to take a leap of faith; Mal had already asked him the same thing when she jumped. This leads me to think that it was one of Cobb's projections speaking instead of the real Saito.
Meh. I love JGL, but I'm not a huge fan of Brick.
He might be playing The Riddler in the next Batman film, though! That's pretty exciting.
My Mind:I'm drooling at the thought of Inception on blu-ray
You read it.
Hmm, JGL as the Riddler? I'd hoped for David Tennant, myself. I'm still hoping, actually!
But man, those multiple levels sure are confusing. Can see why it took 9 years for Nolan to write the script! Would love to see him tackle a time travel movie next!

Lol. Sí.I left the theater with the :scard: face. Movie was mind blowing,,,,,
Are you Puerto Rican?
And half Cuban.
That would be awesome! My bf and I discussed that, actually.
And one of my friends said that they should have made Inception in 3-D. But I think that really would have made my brain explode.
Only a time travel movie where the travel itself doesn't change anything, but leads an effect leading to a cause which leads back to the effect: paradox, in other words. Actually, that would be a fucking awesome title!
Paradox
Director: Christopher Nolan
Screenplay: Christopher Nolan (with Steven Moffat as consultant)
Actually, if Nolan and Moffat did team up, then that would probably lead to the most awesome movie ever. I can't even begin to comprehend the awesomeness of the two brilliant styles merged into one another!

Oh my gosh, could you imagine!
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Well, I kinda already can: look at Forest of the Dead! Not only was that an awesome new take on dreams and virtual reality, it also never made me look at subtle edits in tv again!

I didn't see emotions, I saw angst and bitching and "I'm going to mumble through a jutting jaw to approximate some sort of accent no one understands." Then again, I'm a cold-hearted bitch.I am shocked that you think Brokeback was a terrible film! I thought that it would have been JUST as powerful with a man and a woman but it's the emotions behind it that mattered.
I would love to see JGL as the Riddler, for some reason I think physically his body would fit the role (this being from someone who has seen maybe three Batman movies, so not an expert) but I see him kind of being Heath Jr., the pretty boy who totally reinvents the role into something incredible. Hopefully without the untimely death.
Paula, you are totally killing my resolution of the film!

Off topic: We are long overdue for new Paula pics.
Hahaha. That IS very off topic.
But I'm going to cut my hair in like an hour, so I'll take new ones soon.
Oh! But I have some I didn't put on FB that I could put here.
One of the most amazing things about Inception is how much of what you see on the screen is NOT CGI. The article in the current Entertainment Weekly is fascinating. They built rotating stages to do the hotel scene in zero gravity. Even the cafe scene in Paris is mostly live action with a little CGI enhancement.
The hotel scenes were the best, imo.
I thought they were beautifully made and shot.
Can you share a link to that article, if you have it?
