Jessica - so what you're saying is that even though
Fischer's story is the B story, emotionally, it's so cliche that it undermines
the whole movie? It didn't bother me, but I can see that.
As for the
Fischer story finishing in the hotel,
I thought that
the will and the pinwheel
gave the
emotional catharsis they talked about
that was needed to really
plant the seed.
I mean, the snow scene was theoretically
Browning's subconscious, so Fischer thought he was seeing Browning's knowledge.
Am I remembering all that right?
P-C, I made the connection with that Eames and that Fischer, just didn't see a clear resonance with the movie characters.
Of course, I kept thinking about Eames from L&O:CI.
smonster, you're remembering that right, and I agree with you.

You know, I like Roger Ebert. And I understand that actual food isn't part of his life anymore.
But in his review of
Toy Story 3
he identified the thing Mr. Potato Head uses to keep his appendages together as "an uncooked taco shell."
Maybe he's just unfamiliar with Mexican food?
Doesn't seem like a tortilla would be that exotic to him, though.
Maybe he's just unfamiliar with Mexican food?
Not likely, he lives in Chicago. It's not exactly a tiny backwater town with no ethnic food.
Also, the word "tortilla" is used onscreen, by the characters, about the food object in question.
Maybe he's trying to be funny? (I mean, technically, a taco shell is a cooked tortilla, right? Signed, I never really got into Mexican food.)
