Ha. Leonardo DiCaprio's character in Inception is named Cobb, like the guy in Following. Nolan must like that name.
Last night, I also finally watched In Bruges, thanks to the magic of Netflix. It was very McDonagh-y. Good stuff.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
What the heck is Inception about? The trailer is confusing.

Because books.
Here's the synopsis on the IMdB page, which is no more spoilery, imo, than book jacket copy.
It looks good, actually.
I'm also interested in The Adjustment Bureau, I think it's called.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's about the world in your dreams. DiCaprio et al do business in it...he's a thief. And then...it all goes wrong. Or different. You know...game changer (thank you, Chuck, for ruining that phrase for me forever).

So, Georgy Girl was just, odd. The Paramount, as always, was awesome, if uncomfortable.

Inception sounds like Dreamscape without the snakeboy .

That is hysterical, Scola, but that link fails for me.
The repish theatre near me is showing Purple Rain next Friday midnight. I'm kinda tempted. I already couldn't go to the cemetery screening of it a few weeks ago, and that was majorly pissing me off.
