Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

[Chernabog]

First movie of the year that I couldn't make it all the way through:

Inception

Maybe it was the hype that killed it, but dear god what a stupid movie. Got to about 1 hour 15 minutes in, looked at how much time was left, went "hell no" and went upstairs to play video games. Video games with much more plot, emotion, and entertainment value. I've liked all of Chris Nolan's films until this piece of trash.... I just hate movies that make up whatever ridiculous convoluted rules they want to on the fly, and then break those rules with even more convoluted rules just to fit the plot.

As far as "entering your dreams" goes, that Jennifer Lopez movie from ten years ago was much more fun. Cronenberg's eXistenz was more interesting.

If I wanted to see a pretty world with an incomprehensible plot and a hot guy (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, yummy) then I'll go see Tron:Legacy again (Garrett Hedlund, extra yummy). I was actually able to sit through Tron, even with the horrid 3-D that looked like you were watching the film through a murky green fog.
