@smirnoff, my nerd-mind got sidetracked on occasion; especially during Arthur's Fred Astaire choreography in the hotel hallway. Why weren't the people in the adjacent hotel room being knocked about with their IVs and such? As long as I could keep from picking aspects apart, I had a great time.
Good question! In the next shot they should've been all battered and disheveled (like after an orgy or something) .
Saying you're an apologist means that liking/loving a Nolan film is somehow wrong. Which is absolute BS.It's actually more popular to dislike him now than to like him among us cinephiles it seems. SIGH.
Hey that's my olive branch your trampling on!
I was merely trying to shield my credibility from the "masterpiece" bomb I threw in my opening remarks. Rest assured, in my own mind I'm quite content calling it such, but this is the internet and taking a hard line is a hard road. When it comes to Inception I am but a weary traveler looking to avoid the traffic.
I find the conformism among cinephiles a bit mind boggling or even worrying sometimes.
I wouldn't worry too much. Certain paths just become overgrown when there's no recent activity is all. If you blaze the trail anew you may find yourself in unexpected good company.
@verbals, it's too exhausting to defend Inception on every point you make but I will say this; BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Also, I like the techno-babble. It may sometimes be vague and inelegantly stuffed into lines but without it this movie would make NO sense. Instead it makes some kind of sense... Star Trek sense, which is good enough for most things. I agree it is circular but I still think it amounts to much.
Tell me that being stuck in limbo is not the coolest/most frightening concept to come out of a sci-fi movie since the whole star child sequnce in 2001!
I need to "Speak" A Serious Man - jury's still out on this one for me.
It shouldn't be hard to learn Jibberish.
I kid! ASM made no sense to me whatsoever is all, so I give it a hard time when I can.
