neutral · AI labelView post →My own personal thought of the Odyssey after seeing it was it was a very good but probably not great film, episodic (which to be fair is the nature of the story) and a bit underwritten. My favorite Nolan remains Inception, which I think best marries his ambition and skill with story.

neutral · AI labelView post →I got in an a fight w/ a film student in college when I showed him proof that Inception lifted scenes from Kon's Paprika & he still denied it. He then dared to say "well animation is easier so Inception is the superior film" and i saw red aha
neutral · AI labelView post →in INCEPTION, where you're like 2 and a half hour into the movie in ski world and Ariadne is like "wait are you killing part of his brain when you shoot these guys" and Leo is like "no, no it doesn't work like that" the movie is almost over and youre still explaining the ground rules.

neutral · AI labelView post →Trump’s plans to impose a 100% tariff on movies made outside the U.S. is more confusing than the ending of “Inception.” Americans should not be unable to watch documentaries about news abroad due to nonsensical national security claims.

neutral · AI labelView post →I’m trying to write on Memento and it’s crazy how it’s a low budget noir but like it’s also still the creator of Inception. Nolan called his shot so loud in that film the only thing he didn’t suggest was he would become the most beloved name in IMAX history.

neutral · AI labelView post →I was graduating college at the time and just finished watching Inception with a bunch of classmates and three of them were like, “So was he in the dream still or-“ Me: That’s the allure, it gives you something to think about afterward. “…But what’s the answer.” Me: …You have a film degree now.

neutral · AI labelView post →Jonny is watching Give My Regards to Broad Street and this is the thing I thought when I first watched it. It is, *genuinely*, far closer to Inception structurally than to any other film. And more entertaining than it. Did Inception have Giant Haystacks in it? No it did not.
neutral · AI labelView post →For me, DUNKIRK is still Nolan’s best and most total film — it’s as mythically heroic as THE DARK KNIGHT, as dreamy as INCEPTION, as morally uneasy as MEMENTO, and as much a Borgesian labyrinth as INTERSTELLAR. Every shot a perfect study of movement and behavior. A masterpiece
neutral · AI labelView post →My inability to ever remember the movie title Inception disturbs me.
neutral · AI labelView post →Seems that the G.I Joe movie will have the director of Inception attached. I guess they figure that Nolan is half the battle. (No there is no movie announced, yes this is a joke, settle down ducklings)

neutral · AI labelView post →Really good movie! The plot is more complicated than “Inception” but it holds together.
neutral · AI labelView post →Revisited Inception last night, still my favorite Nolan movie, one of the coolest concepts executed even better Cobb’s dialogue is often strangely formal, but man Leo elevates him into an icon. Meanwhile Arthur and Eames are both written with a razor’s edge and also they are 100% married by now
positive · AI labelView post →Inception is clearly a movie written by a father of young children. It’s based on the idea of “what if I could do an awesome heist while also having a little nap”
neutral · AI labelView post →And now it's a story within the story, within the story, within the story within the dream. I think. If I counted the layers right. Look, I was told there would be no math! This movie was Inception before Inception was Inception. #TheCompanyOfWolves #FrightClub
neutral · AI labelView post →It's almost a cliche at this point to say INCEPTION is a great movie, but boy it just works & rocks on every single level. A GARGANTUAN mountain of exposition treated so dynamically you barely notice. Visuals that knock your socks off, & Ken Wantanabe and Cillian Murphy give top-tier performances.
positive · AI labelView post →literally everything I hear about The Odyssey is making me regret ever liking Inception, a movie I once rather liked
negative · AI labelView post →Inception. Absolute dogshit. Fun concept art does not a film make.

It's Paprika! 2006's wonderful animated film that may or may not be the basis of the film Inception. It is also much better than Inception. Anyway! discord.gg/vgbees

positive · AI labelView post →In a move not unlike something from a 2010s Christopher Nolan film, Inception and Tenet have literally reached back in time and replaced a great film with a bad one.
