Inception.

Damn, what a great movie. Seriously, that was just a great movie. Smart, stylish, nice action, good music (Hans Zimmer!), a thought-provoking concept, and great acting from a terrific cast of gorgeous talented people. Christopher Nolan is approaching auteur status, I think--when was the last time I was so caught up in a movie? (Well, Toy Story 3 of course, but Pixar also know what they're doing, technically.)

I know what I believe about the ending, and I think my interpretation is supported by the story itself, but of course, ultimately, it's up to the dreamer viewer to decide for herself what she believes. I can live with that.

Unrelated postscript: It's 88º outside right now.


Trailers!
1. Tron: Legacy. OMFG, I cannot freaking wait for this movie.
2. the social network. I cannot believe they are making this movie. I cannot believe Harvard will take that movie lying down, because you know what? It's all true. And, omg, the chorus + piano cover of "Creep" in the trailer? Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
3. The American. George Clooney and guns. Yup, I'm there.
4. Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. Hmm. It could be great, or it could be awful.

I'm glad you liked Inception! It was one of the best I've seen in a while, and you have to appreciate a movie that generates so much interesting conversation.

It was so good! I want to see it again, actually.
