Inception!

I just came back from seeing Inception! AWESOME!!!



You know how in the heyday of the Hollywood studios you could usually guess which studio made the picture by the cast, familiar faces that kept popping up in that studio’s films? Looks like the same for Warner Brothers today. It was amusing to see the two from the Nolanverse Batman movies, Michael Caine (Alfred) and Cillian Murphy (Jonathan Crane, aka The Scarecrow) show up in this Nolan film. Nice to see Marion Cotillard (Billie from Public Enemies) and Leonardo DiCaprio, who I think I read was up for the role of Dillinger that Johnny Depp got. Besides, with my Public Enemies/Shutter Island crossover, it also amused me to see Leo and Marion in the same movie.

I loved the layers upon layers in this film. It was nice intellectual stimulation as I avidly followed the plot. The eye candy was yummy, but the story held the real interest for me. It was very cleverly done! I loved figuring out the clues and watching the pieces fall into place. If you like to give your mind a work-out, I’d recommend seeing this film. If you’re easily confused, well… ;) It was two-and-a-half hours and I was captivated. There’s a lot of richness and complexity to this film with some old and new ideas about reality and dreams, but it was a fun ride!

I can see why a fandom’s already sprung up around this film. Smart and pretty, that’s the ticket! ;)

Yay! I'm so glad that you liked the movie! I thought it was very interesting and fast-paced so you couldn't feel the 2 1/2 hours.

And yeah, the fandom really is prolific and growing by the minute. I can hardly keep up! :D

I LOVED it! I was captivated! There were some explosions, but nice to see a film that didn't rely on pyrotechnics all the way through.

Any comms you can point me to? :)

Whee! Thanks, baby! I knew the fandom was growing, but this is really vibrant!

I'll have to check out the icons first, then some fic. Nice to see some slash in there. ;)

I loved it too. I'm not sure I understand it, LOL But it sure was entertaining, and the performances were outstanding.

*laughs*

Yeah, if you missed a few minutes you were in trouble! :)

My sister got a little confused so I helped her out with some of the details. The whole thing was just so freakin' awesome! :)

I loved even though I wish that Nolan had found some way to trim it down just a bit. That's the same beef I had with Batman actually - i think he falls in love with his amazing action sequence and forgets they might be even more amazing if edited just a bit.

But yeah, the characters here were utterly amazing. I'm so impressed at how much Leo has grown since his days on a really big ship. Who'd have thought... And yet, I don't think he was my favourite character, the supporting cast was just so darned good. It was great to see Ellen Page get a chance to shine again.

Yeah, the scenes in the latter half of the movie could have been tightened up, but it was tough to do with the time thing.

The supporting cast was awesome sauce! Not to mention pretty. When I saw Cillian Murphy's beautiful eyes on-screen for the first time I squeed, LOL!

I loved that movie and really love Tom Hardy in that movie, so very fine.

Inception was amazing! I was glued to my seat for the whole movie. All the actors did a great job. There were actually three Nolanverse Batman actors in the movie as Ken Watanabe played the "fake" Ra's al Ghul in Batman Begins at the party at Wayne Manor. I don't remember if he had any lines but he was there.

There are rumors that Nolan might cast Joseph Gordon-Levett(Arthur in the movie) as the Riddler in Batman 3 because he tends to prefer to work with actors he's already worked with before. I think it would be a good choice.

That's right! :)

That would be a good choice, indeed. :)
