Yes. I believe that's what I said in the beginning. haha

Fair enough. Still, that's a decision that was made on the front end; the movie didn't have to be that way. I suppose that's a plot element so I'll throw some flak at Jonathan Nolan too.

I liked the premise too. It was really interesting. It was the the execution of the premise that I found to be lacking.

What was result of the city folding in on itself? Nothing. That's what I mean when I say unimaginative; it was a cool imagine that had no impact. A movie about dreams within dreams within dreams and in the climax of Inception you have a rainy street, a spinning hallway, and a James Bond snow fortress. The spinning…

Jim Emerson (former editor of Roger Ebert's website) did some good analysis on TDK, in particular, with respect to Nolan's directing. http://www.rogerebert.com/s…

I liked it okay. I'm surprised to see it at #51 on the IMDB Top 250. I remember it being well-received, but didn't realize it was that highly regarded (not that IMDB ratings are necessarily a reliable measure).

I found the Batman movies to be pretty sloppy and everything outside of Memento (Inception, in particular) to be fairly unimaginative in execution. I don't remember much of Insomnia, though.

The only counterpoint that I accept is Memento.

I expect it will be an interesting premise (Jonathan Nolan) brought down by unimaginative and/or sloppy execution (Christopher Nolan).

I'll take this instead https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I had the opposite reaction. I thought that character and scenes brought the episode down.

First was really good (I was pleasantly surprised, having only seen it based on good reviews). Second could've been just as good, if only they'd cut about 20 minutes at the beginning. Third was a complete mess. I recall enjoying the fourth, but recall nothing of what happened.

I found that to be bad plotting, which was rampant in this episode. Frederic's encounter with Camille at the end didn't make sense. Just prior, in the bar, she was pulled away by her father (who he obviously knows), saying, "Dad, stop it." Frederic looks shocked and a seems to have a moment of realization. Then later…

I blame Russell Westbrook.

I'm surprised that Ozymandias didn't get a directing nomination for Rian Johnson. Are shows only allowed one nomination in that category or something? Breaking Bad had two writing noms.

It is an interesting idea, but I think it would've been better off remaining a mystery. The previous movie mostly just made me laugh.

I remember when I saw that movie I was amazed by the level of detail in some of the disaster scenes, particularly when buildings were falling down and you could see people falling from them. Initially I wondered if they were trying to use the detail to bring more gravity to the situation. "The buildings aren't simply…

Who is?

I think Hot Fuzz is less half-and-half and more whole-and-whole. It could play either way pretty much completely depending on your perspective. It's great.

To the Wonder?
