yeah, i saw it in IMAX digital. every show yesterday in every theater in the entire silicon valley area was sold the hell out. it looks like nolan's made a successful film without:
1. the story being backward
2. batman
3. one of the actors dying
so maybe he's on his way to proving something (ie that good movies make more money).

| How's the action? In the Batman films, it was a blurry quick cut mess. I feel this will be better though, with the zero g scene in the trailers, and the comparisons to Michael Mann I see thrown around. |
The zero-G scene is massive. Weirdly, this is an action movie where you can see absolutely everything at all times, including some hilarious ultra-slow-motion.
I was telling people this would the The New Matrix -- as in, for all that comparison entails, the next "Whoa Fuck God Damn" movie to set fifteen-year-olds on fire. It is a Matrix-Level Event. (Much as these terms get thrown around or flirted with, we haven't probably had a Matrix Level Event since "The Matrix", yeah?)
Let me tell you, though -- fifteen-year-olds now have it a lot better than fifteen-year-olds had it then. "Inception" does fucking literally everything "The Matrix" did, and better.
I don't think Christopher Nolan is ever going to have trouble getting a project greenlit again!

Yeah. If you go into it thinking surrealism, it works a lot better. It has "symbolism" and other . . . literary-ish stuff. That guy in that review is essentially complaining that the movie surprised him and that he felt pretty awkward about it. He's complaining about it changing the rules at one point; well, would he rather see a film about everything going perfectly according to plan? Watch a documentary about a cardboard-box factory, asshole!

i am pretty sure that christopher nolan will not ever make a sequel. i think he knows what he's doing.
ideally, this is a guy who's going to be making one-shot movies basically forever -- memento, the prestige, inception.
god, maybe that right there is enough films for him to just quit already.
if someone does make a sequel -- and i don't think they will -- the best legal advice would be to ignore it!
(unless, of course, it's miraculously great.)

wait, that's supposed to be music?
i thought it was just, like, supposed to be the sound of the buildings in gotham city vibrating.

| TI'm almost finished with The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus right now, and I really don't understand why so many people were disappointed with this film |
yeah! i liked it a fair deal, too.
and i, uhh, also kind of like "the brothers grimm". i've seen it three times -- the first two times accidentally -- and it's only gotten better with distance and age.
i always want to say i liked "the adventures of baron munchausen", though man! that scene on the moon is such a fuckin' pace-killer. "parnassus" keeps it going evenly enough, and gets just deliciously desolate enough at the end.
i think gilliam knows full well how to make a film that everyone would like completely and totally. he can't not. he gets so almost there every time that he has to be toeing that line on purpose. i bet he put that robin williams scene into "baron munchausen" just to keep me personally from liking it all the way.
