You obviously did not read anyone's criticism of the movie, and you just make a blanket judgment because you think everyone who disagrees with you is the same. Lazy thinking and judging on your part.

The ending was beyond predictable. Essentially the same ending to Memento.

The lack of character interest is what bothered me the most.

Galatoire's. Probably not a popular selection, but any impartial diner can attest that their standards have gone into free fall.

I think I know what chicken did. He found out that my posts receive the most average view count of any poster here. So he programmed a way to prevent people from responding to me. All they can do is click on my message, and if they want to click anything else, they have to go to Geaux.com.

Very smart move.

The only man convicted in the Lockerbie bombing of Pan Am 103 was released by authorities in Scotland after doctors said he was dying of prostate cancer.

The U.S. and British governments now agree al-Megrahi's release was a mistake. In a phone call Friday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged British Foreign Secretary William Hague to cooperate with a congressional investigation into charges that BP brokered al-Megrahi's release for drilling rights off the Libyan coast, CBS News Correspondent Bob Orr reports.

BP is the world's most evil company

Look, I don't appreciate you following me into every thread and calling me a fig and harassing me.

You sound very insecure and unintelligent. I'm going to kindly ask you to avoid me unless you have anything on topic to say. Thanks.

You agree with everything else?

So I sit in my seat with my free AMC Movie Watcher card earned popcorn. Get nice and comfy right as the previews come on. Facebook movie? Looks decent. Charlie St. Louis? Looks awesome! Then comes this ridiculous preview with a guy talking to some wrinkled Kirk Douglas wannabe. The sound level is atrociously high.

Insert 45 seconds of stupid dialogue and weird futuristic neon light scenes. Then all hell breaks lose and the volume level is on a frickin BILLION. The noise pollution builds to a crescendo when the TRON title comes up and I wonder, "Will my ear drums crack before the speakers do?"

Like all life, when someone has to make obscene amounts of noise to get attention, your attention is not deserved. I will boycott this movie for the noise this movie's trailer infected me with.

You pushing that site real hard, brah.

Good post.

Basically, the director decides "I'll make a multi-layered movie. Each layer will have different rules. These rules will allow some people to mentally masturbate and proclaim my movie as great. I'll throw in a few action scenes and they'll say it's even better. On top of it all, I'll throw out a few general philosophical and psychological ideas and they'll call it genius!"

Anchoring my Inception review is the last straw. Whichever mod did this, be assured that when the Movie Board goes back to its old and prosaic ways you can thank yourself. Chicken knows how the traffic has increased on this board since my reviews began to appear this week.

I have used no big words. The biggest word is probably eight letters. Eight letters. Probably.

Regardless of relevance?

Quite clearly, you've never read any of the writers I've mentioned. Briefly, because I want to get to a few points about my second viewing, Descartes, of course, is only notable because he questioned the very nature of his existence. How could he know what was real? His view was only through doubting, only through thinking. Thought and doubt give rise to being. No clearer is this expressed than in the totem, a device that represents cogito ergo sum. Kant comes into play because the movie is an illusion. The movie is based on illusion because Leonardo refuses to apply what he knows with what he experiences. That is, he knows his dreams are dreams and experiences them as such, but he will not let mind trump the heart. Kierkegaard is mentioned passingly with the "leap of faith" expression, used twice in the movie. That notion is only a vignette of Kierkegaard in the movie, an attempt to distract us from the heart of Soren. Subjective versus objective truth is that heart. What is true in the movie, one must decide, is it subjective only to the subject of the dreams or is the subject an object, a pawn? What is true to one? Is that true universally?

Moving to psychology, not philosophy, you philistine, all the babble about subconscious and projection comes directly from Freud. Must we even mention Jung, considering his entire work was based on dream interpretation? To cut short, there are relationships between what appears in our dreams and what appears in reality. For instance, the Indian drinks too much champagne on the airplane. The product is it rains in the dream.

Augustine largely developed the Christian doctrine of Original Sin, an act or a condition that he believed produced guilt. And guilt, said Augustine, "is washed away by tears of repentance." Fascinating that Leonardo's character never cries, but his wife does. Her guilt is absolved by her repentant tears. Leonardo's guilt is perpetual because he does not know how to repent and receive a baptism by tears.

Now to correct a few misconceptions I've seen thrown around. The point of the totem is only to determine if you are in your own dream or in someone else's. It has nothing to do with reality, as some have said.

To bolster my claims that everyone is a pawn in Leonardo's guilt driven world, notice that Juno chooses a pawn as her totem. She is the pawn prima facie.

Did you notice that it's Fischer's dad who is the first patient shown, but briefly, in the Indian chemist's underground lair? What does his presence there mean? Consider Kant.

Good night.

The movie was a failure the minute the director cast Tina Fey and Steve Carrel in a movie. Both are terrible. I would rather have sex with a LLotOT than watch Date Night again.
