I’ve seen lots of graphs and images trying to simplify Inception. I think the following is the best on. (Spoilers)
Pineapple Express was horrible, unless you like a mess of a film with characters you want to fail. But this is sort of funny, right?
If I hear you say Inception sucked, you get punched in the nose. To deny that it rocked, is to deny your inner child a Michelangelo Ninja Turtle. Never again should you coat anything in a greasy layer of butter, because you hate all things amazing.
Okay before we go too deep, first things first… No, I’ve not become a Leonardo DiCaprio convert. I will not be purchasing all his movies and “catching up” on everything I have “missed”. I will say that I found his presence in this movie less disturbing than I thought I would, and he did a fine job with the role. It doesn’t change the fact that he looks like a big kid, trying to play very adult roles. Nevertheless, it’s caused me to realized that I need to look past the visually disturbing actor and focus on the potential of experiencing a really great story…
…because that’s what Inception was, a really great story.
It’s smart, perhaps too smart. I’m not saying it’s not without it’s flaws, but it has so much going for it that the flaws seem small in comparison to what they accomplished. It’s nice to get a film of this caliber in the science fiction genre, a genre that really has nearly limitless potential that is infrequently tapped.
If you wish to ignore all of that, there is an upside. You can score a lot of points with other snobs if you start to voice your intellectual superiority to the film’s narrative. Make sure to talk about how you predicted the ending in the opening credits, or how how the director completely ignored everything you learned about the brain when you took that one class in junior college.
That’s how you win the ladies my friends.
Leonardo DiCaprio has always bugged me. I can’t get past his look; the appearance of a child in a big suit. It was sort of okay when he was playing kids, but as he gets older it gets worse. I’ve avoided seeing his movies, because it spares me the torture of looking at him for a long period of time. I just don’t get it, I don’t get the appeal. However I might be potentially wrong. I could be living in a cloud of my own disillusion. Tonight I’m going to see a Science Fiction film directed by Christopher Nolan. If this doesn’t change my mind about him, I don’t know what will.
I saw Predators… and yes, Adrien Brody did a fine job (I was wrong, Thank God).
I go back and forth on Ryan Reynolds, I really can’t tell if I like him or hate him. That’s kind of how I feel about the suit above. From first glance, it kind of reminds me of the armor that Vlad wore in Dracula (but Green). I guess the suit is CG and that is supposed to be cool, but I guess I’m not feeling it. In fact, I really don’t know if I’m excited to see this character and story brought to the screen at all. Maybe it’s because I don’t have any vested interest in the character, I’ve never read the comic so I can’t really get amped up on what might happen. I did read the wiki, and from what I can gather it’s basically an all powerful superman with a ring.
I know that if you want to hurt superman, you use Kryptonite and if you want to hurt the Green Lantern you take his stupid jewelry away. Taking into consideration that people who write superhero movies love to show super heroes without their powers leads me to believe that the story line will be roughly the following:
If I’m wrong I’ll be happy….
This already has been posted everywhere, but hey… why not here.
That song can be kind of annoying after a while. Nevertheless, ‘wow’ the video is done perfectly.
