I can sense the anger in Cheebs; trying to stay restrained, but he wants to let it out. Typical Nolan fanboy - trying to be passive aggressive.

I know you like the movie, I saw you posting links to youtubes of Zimmers score on twitter like a few minutes after you trashed the score.

That was CajoleJuice; we are not the same person.

Cheebs · « **Reply #541 on:** July 18, 2010, 01:39:00 PM »

Close enough. What is frustrating is I am actually curious what your real thoughts on the movie are.

Chronicles of Riddick made $60 not in it's first weekend but total, and they're making a sequel to that based on DVD sales.

It made $115 million at the box office.

Worldwide, which I think Inception will be able to top pretty easily.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #544 on:** July 18, 2010, 01:40:39 PM »

Inception also cost almost three times as much!

Also, if they shot in Japan, the budget was in yen and probably astronomical!

Probably less than double actually.

Riddick: $105 million production budget + marketing = Somewhere around $160 million

Inception: $160 million production budget + $100 million marketing = Around $260 million

Are we only in day three of Willco's Inception trolling? I could've sworn that it had to be at least day six or day seven by now. I'll put down a bet on eight days before he gets tired of it, maybe more if someone finally rises to the bait but I'd say the odds of that are fairly low.

Cohen. EXACTLY my sentiment.

Memento is pretty awful, so what you're saying is this is also awful.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
The casting was pretty spot on, but there were only three characters written in a way that allows them to transcend their role. Cobb, Moll, and Eames. Poor Ellen Page got the worst role in the whole movie, the person who gets talked at.

In retrospect, I really liked Fischer's storyline and the way it was all resolved. I'm not entirely sure how much of what happened he actually remembers [as, in the end, the look he gives Cobb suggests that he recognizes Cobb but can't quite remember why], but he was able to reconcile with his dead father and even seemed to strengthen his bond with his uncle.

My wife and I decided that Marion Cottillard is the female Jon Hamm. She is impossibly good looking in a very adult, classical way, instead of merely being cute or precious.

That's a great description of Cottillard.

Mmmmm.... Hamm..... one more week.
