Inception

[Meade's Ball]

I do plan to see it tomorrow, but i am not overly excited by the idea of it. Nolan's made a couple of high class films in his time and of course his output has been mostly successful, but he seems to be making things more of a spectacle and losing sight of mystery itself. If, due to his rightfully-gained place as the guaranteur of financial richness of all he makes, he keeps making more larger and louder explosions on screen for the 12a and 15 market then i'll grow more disinterested. I was rather bored for long spells in Dark Knight. Thank god for the mercilessness of the Joker to keep that film going at all.

The Machinist is his finest film.

Agree - but The Dark Knight is a much better movie; in no small part due to Heath Ledger.

Fortunately for Inception they found a lookalike:

Are you going to reply to me? About IMDB? The one you prefer?

Also, I'd like to add, as a published and active theatre critic I am less accepting of mediocrity than the average patron; I'm sure you'll enjoy it perfectly well with your humble tastes.

Yikes, the PAUL ROSS of NSC

Thats actually a mistke as it should read 9.3 and not 8.3. It will be corrected. Nice try to be smug and clever but an epic FAIL. Try again.

Eh? Are you saying that IMDB made a typo?

sounds like a bit of a pompous luvvy to me. He will leave Inception to the unwashed masses as he is above it.

Sorry JC, it was just a random smiley

Oh dear petal, you've got a bit confused again haven't you. Anyone can vote on IMDB; their 'Top 250' though comes only from individuals who vote regularly. Not sad people who sit there clicking 'vote', deleting their cookies and then voting again

I'd suggest reading the opinions of professional critics instead; ROTTEN TOMATOES: Movies - New Movie Reviews and Previews!

You're welcome

No need to apologise.

Spiels, you can still look forward to seeing something even when someone other than you has already seen it and didn't like it as much as you think you will. Be excited still.

As is the current fashion on NSC, 'this'.

Seeing it later on today. I'm no film afficionado, but will let you know what I think.
