Thread: Inception (Christopher Nolan, Leonardo DiCaprio)

This looks all kinds of awesome. Currently 85% at Rotten Tomatoes: Inception Movie Reviews, Pictures - Rotten Tomatoes

Just booked my seats to see it on Thursday night.

I've heard good things from hard to please people. All I can say is that it bloody better be after the crap DiCaprio has chosen to do lately.

What crap is that?

Revolutionary Road was great, Body of Lies was excellent, Blood Diamond was good, The Departed was excellent, The Aviator was excellent, Catch Me If You Can was excellent, Gangs of New York was great.

And that takes us all the way back to 2002. Seems to me like everything he touches is gold.

The only other movie of his I haven't seen since then is Shutter Island. Which I need to do.

The Aviator was like attaching a tube from your eyeballs to your cock then pissing all day and half the night.

I hold it in very high regard. One of Martin Scorsese's best.

And it seems most people agree that it is quality; a 88% review average at Rotten Tomatoes, a 77 review average at Metacritic, 11 Academy Award nominations, and 5 Academy Award wins.

so?

So everyone likes it. Except you.

so? still means it was a shit movie. if i don't like it, what's the point of making it?

as for the academy awards, gawd - don't get me started on Hollywood and their love of that goddamned era (specifically the shitbox music of the time).

edit: just checked with everyone in our office and 0% liked The Aviator - so nyer

They must recruit like-minded individuals.

Just went out of my way to see Shutter Island... I definitely didn't love it. But by the end you felt like sitting there was worth it. About 40 minutes prior to credits I finally picked the ending, but even then the way the ending played out was a little less than predictable. At the end you realise why the score was the way it was, why the cinematography was shot the way it was, why that art direction was taken - which prior to the end seemed like poor decisions. I'd give it a 6 out of 10, mostly for trying so valiantly to be innovative.

I'd put it at the very bottom of the aforementioned movies, but it was still decent. My opinion is that in the last 8 years, DiCaprio hasn't been in a bad movie. They're good at worst.

Sorry but Shutter island was shit. Shame on you for thinking it was good.
