re: so i'm watching inception

I understand what you're saying, as you wanted to be more intellectually challenged, and I hear many people say this. But you also hear many people say it's too complicated. This is where I think Nolan succeeded in what he was doing. He made a blockbuster hit, so he had to appeal to the masses by dumbing it down, yet he still made it thought provoking enough to satisfy movie critics (apparently not you though).
