I'm sure most of you have heard of it. I'm pretty excited about it, if you don't know it is Christopher Nolan's new movie, looks crazy and awesome.

Inception Trailer

[Xessive]

WOah, that looks wicked!

[Cobra951]

Dreamscape 2?  Not quite.  This I'll want to see.

[Pugnate]

It's always about the last job, isn't it?

[Pugnate]

Holy shit!

Getting rave reviews.

Inception is a masterpiece. Making a huge film with big ambitions, Christopher Nolan never missteps and manages to create a movie that, at times, feels like a miracle.

[Quemaqua]

That's great to hear.  I caught a preview of it and thought it looked like it could be fantastic if done right.  I might have to actually go see this.

[scottws]

I was interested as soon as I saw the trailer for the first time.

[Cobra951]

After the bummer with Last Airbender, this is very welcome news.  I really want to see this.

[ScaryTooth]

Damn. I really wanted to go see this tonight at midnight as I'm off tomorrow. But my lady won't go because it's too late. Blah. So, I have to wait until Monday night.

Unless it rains tomorrow and our Zoo plans get fudged. I kind of want that to happen...

[scottws]

Wow you're lucky.  I don't think there is a place in Cincy that does midnight showings anymore, even on weekends.  Jennie and I used to go see 10:00pm movies and then sneak into midnight ones all the time.

[TheOtherBelmont]

I just got back from seeing a midnight showing and fuck was it awesome.  Totally fucking crazy as hell.  Go see this while it is theaters.

[ren]

Just came back from seeing it a few hours ago. Go watch it. That's all you need to hear.

[ScaryTooth]

Zoo plans didn't work out so movie it was!

Wow, that was really freaking cool. I want to see it again, cause I know there was some stuff in there that I didn't catch. I can't even begin to talk about the plot, and it would be pointless, it's something that you have to see to even understand what I'd be talking about. In a sea of reboots, sequels, and remakes, it's awesome to see that someone in the industry still has some awesome new ideas. The movie is fantastic, go see it for sure, don't miss it.

I bet the screenplay, and editing were a total bitch! But damn did it pay off.

Cool stuff.

[MysterD]

Saw this today. Wow, what a movie - awesome stuff.

Hotel Scenes

(click to show/hide)

The hotel scenes were awesome in zero gravity - and also quite funny and comical, too. I loved when Gordon-Levitt wrapped the crew altogether and was transporting them.

Ending

(click to show/hide)

Bastards leaving it kinda hanging at the end, w/ the top wobbling back into rotation - wasn't sure if that was the "Real" world or another dream worlds. Damn open-ended endings.

Of course, that's the point, anyways...is it ALL just a deeply-woven complex dream or not?

Oh, BTW - I so love Ellen Page.

Can't wait to re-see this one on DVD. What an awesome movie.

[iPPi]

Awesome movie.

[Quemaqua]

Saw it... dug it.  It was too Matrix-y for me in some ways, but on the whole I thought it was a pretty fantastic movie.

[shock]

Fantastic movie.  It does what a lot of science fiction fails to do IMO: make the moviegoer believe.  It had me hooked from the beginning, and everyone else in the theater.

The spinning top at the end was AWESOME.  A woman literally started screaming when she wouldn't know the answer.

[angrykeebler]

So a lot of people point out the fact that the spinner started to falter as proof that Cobb was not dreaming. Additionally, whenever he is in a dream he wears a wedding band but never in real life. At the end, he is not wearing a ring.

[shock]

Interesting observation about the wedding band.  I think it vibes with the movie that he was awake.  It doesn't really "fit" for me that he was dreaming and the sci-fi universe they set up.  If he was dreaming, was it a sedative induced dream or a normal one?  Sedative induced one would demand 5 layers... and that is a lot of instability, according to the rules.  I don't think the timeframe adds up either: if the WHOLE thing was a dream, he would have had to been asleep for days, even within the the 5 minute to 1 hour proportion. 

My verdict: awake.  Also, the child's faces. 

I still can't get over how much I enjoyed the movie. 

[beo]

awesome film!!

regarding the ending, i think his wife was right... impossible to know though, and that's kind of the point! very ghost in the shell 2 in that respect.

edit - just read this piece on an ending theory and it makes a lot of sense. this is the correct explanation of the film in my mind: http://www.moviefone.co.uk/2010/07/19/inception-ending-theories/

[scottws]

Saw this last night and thought it was pretty awesome.  Good to see Hollywood can still make a movie like this.

(click to show/hide)

The only part that I thought was inconsistent was near then end when Adriadne had to jump off the building in order to catch the "kick".  My impression was that the sensation of falling from the next level up would wake the person up and that it would happen without their own action in the dream.  Yet she falls in the dream and that wakes her up even though her sleeping body was falling from the collapsing bunker and should have automatically been kicked.

I haven't seen the movie yet.

[MysterD]

LMAO @ Idol's "spoiler."

[Pugnate]

hahha

[Cobra951]

[In my best Laurence Olivier voice]  Is it safe?

[Pugnate]

Indeed.

[Cobra951]

Hahaha!

(click to show/hide)

Neither have I.

[scottws]

So you're a spoiler checker?  I'm surprised.

[idolminds]

I havent been reading the spoilers. I just wanted to join in with the long string of spoiler posts.

[scottws]

Sorry, I was talking to Cobra.

Edit:  Aww shoot.  I just realize I missed a few posts.

Nothing to see here!

[Pugnate]

hahah Watch this:

http://www.southparkstudios.com/full-episodes/s14e10-insheeption

It takes a bit to warm up.

[Cobra951]

Haha!  I'm sure it will be funnier after I watch the movie.

[Pugnate]

heheh Cobra I haven't seen it yet either, but I laughed.

[Ghandi]

Yeah I watched it last night, hilarious episode. The shepherd character was one of my favorite South Park characters ever.

"I'm a sheep herder."
"It's pronounced hoarder and yes you are."
"I'm actually herding sheep."
"Yes, you are hurting sheep by hoarding them. It's good you realize that."

[Cobra951]

   The biblical look alone got me chuckling.

[iPPi]

Fuck the full episode isn't available in Canada's Comedy Network yet.  Gonna have to download it.

[Pugnate]

Awesome awesome. Just saw it on blu-ray.
