Inception That's really cool, actually. Sorta unnecessary, but still really cool.
Inception
Inception Article on Inception ending. TDK has the second most votes on the entire list, next to Shawshank. I think the fact that Inception is in 6 digits now and is still in top 3 is a surprise. Toy Story has half of that and has fallen. Time will be the factor though....oh and fanboys.
Inception We don't have to wonder; they list the number of votes for each film. The Dark Knight has about as many votes as any other film, but Inception still has something like a third of most of the top films.
Inception I wonder how many more votes something like Inception and The Dark Knight have than the others in the top 50 or so.
Inception It won't hold it for long. The Dark Knight was up there too, and it's currently at #12.
Inception The best Movie of the decade ....deserves to hold #3 in Top IMDb 250
Inception It is an amazing film, and yes I would say it's close to be his best film with the first two Terminator films right up there.
Inception Total Recall is Arnie' best film IMO too.. followed by Commando.
Inception Why would I derep you for your own personal views.. What you have stated are your own personal views.. Just the same you feel Godfather is overrated among other things... they are your own personal views.. not necessarily wrong or right.. You are just talking about how the movie should have been according to you.. So I would never derep someone for sharing their own personal views. The movie is making its money, plus getting good reviews... lots of fans already.. So I think Nolan did an awesome job!!... He did everything right..
Inception Because it's his subconscious, and nobody's subconscious associates random things like pink elephants with laser beam eyes with the concept of "defense." I'd say, to a person, the first images that word conjures for any of us deep down would be some variation on guys with guns, or a fortress, or any of the other things that we do, in fact, see in Inception. I get what you're on about, and I'm not unsympathetic to it, but I think the key here is to remember that this isn't his conscious mind. He doesn't have control over it. It does things on its own, so it can't do calculating things like flatten whatever building the good guys are in. It's nebulous, sure, but then again, so is the subconscious. This complaint I can understand a good deal more; the projections are annoyingly incompetent at times. That said, it's clearly better than nothing, and even at that level of effectiveness it probably makes sense for the titans of industry to have it done in a world where psychological corporate espionage is a possibility. I also really like meatwad's explanation that their effectiveness reflects Fischer's state of mind, as well as Fiscal's points that they did manage a thing or two. They were ineffective more in terms of efficiency, or ratio of bullets fired to targets hit...but as a swarm they got things done eventually, and I think we can presume they would have overwhelmed the good guys if things had gone on much longer. What I really would have liked to have seen are the good guys using genuine creativity to outsmart the more predictable projections. This would explain why they're able to withstand the assault so well and dovetail perfectly with the film's recurring themes about the raw power of inspiration. It fits so well I'm kind of stunned it wasn't employed in this manner.
