  1. We’re so glad that you are so smart that upon leaving the theater in 2010, you thought Inception was too simple. Inception is part heist movie. I guess you like heist movies where the filmmakers don’t clue the audience in on the planning process. We just see random dudes watching a building and breaking into random rooms and cutting wires and shit. A whole hour of a Jake Gittes-like characters just tailing people with no soundtrack. Ocean’s 11 would have been 15 minutes. In other words, Inception would have been completely incomprehensible to all of us mids, who never read our Descartes.
  2. That is a lucid, well-thought, intelligent objection. Post less. Upon release, 15 years ago, the main criticism of the movie from some movie goers and critics was that it was confusing and lacked emotional depth. Now, because people have analyzed it and watched it online with subtitles it has too much exposition. So, which is it? Nolan is not David Lynch. He doesnt have to make it Dark City. It’s not that kind of movie. And it doesnt have to be. I guess the analogy of your criticism of Hans Zimmer and Nolan is like criticism of Led Zeppelin by punk artists of the 70’s. Hey its too good. The singer is too this. The drum solo is too this. Whats the point except that other artists should be able to do other things?
  3. Guess it was in the video game. Cant diverge from canon.
  4. A young Meryl Streep could be Ellie and it would not make a difference. She’s horribly written
  5. Another house blew up (Crystal Falls in Leander) https://www.kxan.com/news/local/leander/evacuations-underway-in-leander-after-home-explosion/
  6. Saw Zodiac at the Paramount. Just a brilliant movie. My favorite Fincher film. With a crowd, definitely more humor than I remember, especially considering the subject matter.
  7. Watch Richard Linklater’s God Save Texas: Huntsville. If you are arguing for the mental health benefits of capital punishment, the benefits could be detailed on a leaflet. The victims’ families will suffer everyday for the rest of their lives. Eliminating appeals outweighs the continued existence of a murderer.

  9. Inception won Oscars for Best Sound Mixing and Editing and busts out Hans Zimmer, who literally invents sounds for musical scores. But you were tired of it? Like I said: post less. When there’s a debate about roundabouts, we’ll come get you.
  10. Is this like a scared straight lesson or something?
  11. That’s The Cutting Edge, from the Writer of Michael Clayton, Rogue One, and Andor.
  12. Jeff Fisher Day is just around the corner. Will celebrate with a trip to Bed, Bath and Beyond and then Jasons Deli.
  13. Take it to the least favorite character actor thread
  14. What is this - a John Steinbeck novel?
  15. Around Elons dubious takeover of Twitter and before its subsequent degradation, I sold all my Tesla stock. It probably cost me money in theory, but that’s when I learned he was insane.
  16. Can you provide more details about his veiny forearms?
  17. In the last GOP poll, wasn’t Abbott at 0.0?
  18. Addition by subtraction. Definitely don’t have to worry about gays and immigrants in Russia
