Is anyone else reminded of the Voyager episodes in which the Doctor is unsure whether he's the Doctor or the engineer who made the doctor? And has to decide whether Barclay or his wife are real?

I see what you're saying, Yummish, (can you tell by how close my posts are together that I have no life?), but Eames wasn't a character that obviously shared (traits or elements of) Cobb's past, unlike Ariadne and Caine (sorry I've been misspelling his name all day), and so the lack of exposition makes him seem…

My fiancee assures me that they DID talk a little bit about building in the dream vs. building in real life (and I suspect that she's not lying) but I still feel insufficiently informed as to Ariadne to believe that she's real.

I'm not sure about awards, ecabney, but I definitely think Levitt's character warranted more screen time and development.

I could buy what you're saying about Cane's character choosing Ariadne much more easily if they had ever given any clue whatsoever as to HOW Cane thought she'd make a good dream architect. Ariadne even needed coaxing to build the maze properly on paper. Granted, she didn't need too much coaxing, but wasn't she…

I try to be really careful about even vague spoilers for a movie like this.
Anyway, what I'm referring to is

Have you heard the news? He's gay!

I seem to recall that, n the book, fairies were actually rather short lived. When Wendy returned to Neverland on her second trip, Tinkerbell was dead and Peter had totally forgotten her, which Wendy found both vexing and extremely sad, despite the fact that Tinkerbell had been a total bitch to her.

Just saw it, and it was pretty good.
Gotta say, though, I thought the ending was a tad predictable and a bit of a cop-out for a dream movie. Left me feeling a little empty and like I didn't quite get the mindfuck that I think the filmmakers thought they were giving me.
There was a glaring plot hole (and/or…

Gladly, the reality is somewhere in between. You are given a character to whom the concepts must be explained and thus are explained to the audience.

Gargoyles was good, but I have to throw my vote in with Darkwing.

I'd rather see Ana Gasteyer as Elphaba.

Mostly though, the Inception trailers just really remind me of "tuning" from Dark City.

Well, dreaming is quite significant in Dark City, as that's essentially how they program people. The latter film I categorize as one of those "it was all a fantastic dream" movies.

Dark City
and, maybe less relevant, The Man Who Could Work Miracles.

Almost any combination of funny/heartwarming
My mother (a lovely person) constantly suggests the most awful movies (think Grown Ups) to me despite the fact that I gave up suggesting nearly anything to her after she left the room in the middle of Kill Bill to go to sleep.

I'd be more enthused if he had kids, and loved them, but was still not redeemed.
At first I thought the character was just going to be a single dad/super-villain, and I was really looking forward to seeing this. Then I realized that the villain gets the kids in the movies and thus (by blockbuster law) they must make…

He wrote books about intellectually curious, fat little boys who wore thick glasses and couldn't play sports or make friends. And they were illustrated by Edward Gorey. I love you, John Bellairs.

Are they really rebooting it, starting back at the beginning? Or will this be more like a Superman Returns sort of entry in the franchise (but with - I hope - less sucking)?
