Lol, It might be interesting.

It's also going to have to fill the roll of my "Disney Star-Real World Test ©" for Vanessa Hudgens seeing as I won't get to see her in RENT

Yeah wow, up until that last (ish) shot it looked remarkably similar to a Secret Window type story. But yeah, that last shot is intriguing.

But I mean honestly, you had me at Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis do ballet.

I think it's about time we went 1812 on their asses again, don't you?

Have you guys seen the little flick known as Unthinkable? A friend showed it to me last and I absolutely loved it...and yet hated it at the same time...it's kinda intense like that. Anyways, it would make one hell of a DiF, I can just picture it now, epic chats about torture and American political bullshit, it would be a grand ol time.

Anyways, if you don't wanna DiF it, at least check it out, definitely worth a watch.

I'm not quite sure really...

The best way i can put it into words is this felt like a quiet little date night thing that Jake decided to tag along for and we just ended up listening to. Obviously that's exaggerating the feeling ALOT but that's best way I can think to put it. It just sort of had that underlying vibe of when you get stuck around people that have a whole other layer to their relationship and you aren't involved in it in any way shape or form.

And I fully accept that I could very easily be reading a shit ton into the spaces between (It's been a very very shitty week for me...so I could just be looking for an escape...ugh, how pitiful is that).

EDIT: Also, I wonder if the fact that this is like the ONLY commentary with only 3 people on it has anything to do with it

Alright I just gotta pipe up here for minute to ask Dorkman, what the hell was wrong with the ending of Secret Window??

And also I'm totally with Jeff on this one, I loved both of the Pirates sequels.

Alright I'm done, feel free to flame me at your will.

EDIT: Holy shit you guys respond fast...

Jeff, what planet did you grow up on exactly? 60 bucks is about the average, note AVERAGE, price you can expect to be paying for new games these days. I'm surprised it's only 60 bucks, with the hype around it they could have gone much higher.

No I haven't bought it and probably won't, this is part because I'm a broke as all shit student and I'm not really a game guy.

As I believe the sole representative of people born after the fall of the Berlin Wall, I can honestly tell you, I have no clue how to even begin to comprehend what it must have been like. I mean sure, I can study the artifacts and the tapes and read the history (As I have actually done), and I can understand it all on a cerebral level, but anything beyond that I am at a loss. But I can tell tell you one thing for sure, I am damn glad I didn't have to live through it.

Finally got time to watch this beast, and looooooooooved every minute of it. So freakin good.

Not really much to say, you guys have kinda covered it all, and I agree with most of it except for the sentiment that the dreams needed to be more wild and crazy, like normal dreams. Unless you are also suggesting that we change the way the universe is set up (Which is valid, i guess...but then we are just quibbling over artistic ideas), it does nt follow that the "dreams" should have been more wild and crazy. It's really all spelled out in the movie, or maybe that's just the way I put it all together, anyways, this is how I see it.

Basically, the "dreams" that extractors enter are not true dreams, in that they are very VERY tightly controlled to the maximum extent that they can be by the Architect; This is the entire point of the architect, he is there to keep the entire thing normalized. Anyways, in a normal dreams we basically hand our brains over to subconscious and tell it to have fun and try not to break anything, hence the bizarro what the fuck nature of most dreams. But this isn't the case with extractions (Or in this case Inception); in these, the subconscious mind of the dreamer is instead replaced with the very conciseness mind of the Architect. But obviously the mind is not completely predicable and oddities are bound to happen when you start messing with placing someone into another person dream, and hence we get the screaming mobs, the minds self defense.

Now with all that said, would I have loved to see the giant space squid fight a pack of rabid panda tigers? Hell yes!! Except that's not the movie Nolan wanted to make, so he built himself a universe in which these laws make sense and are justified, and god dammit he sticks to them. You can't fault the guy for that.

On the hand, as far as the kicks go, I honestly have no clue. The best I've got so far follows:

Basically I think that the external stimuli only works one level down (On those dreaming as it were), Real Life affects Yousef's, Yousef's affects Arthur's, Arthur's affects the Snowy place and the snowy place affects limbo.

And I am pretty sure, that you can only be kicked from the level you fell asleep in, and then once in that level you can be kicked in the next level up that you fell asleep in etc. Or in this case they plan the simultaneous kick so that they would all be pulled straight up into real life.

Although I'm fairly certain that gets broken a few times...(I still have no idea whats up with Page committing suicide, I'm not really sure how that helps anything.)

Yeah, that's the best I got. Now that could be due to the fact I just pulled a 12 hour animating sprint or the fact that I just don't know. Meh, we'll find out.

(EDIT: @Phi, the snow world didn't notice the van hitting the barrier as a physical thing, they worked it out from the music JGL was pumping into their architect to give them the cue (Hence the comment "No, It's to soon!") so I still hold it only works one level down. Also the inner ear part has nothing to do with faling in the dream, it has to do with the idea, that the inner ear still works in the "real" body, so that when that gets kicked the body feels it, freaks out and wakes the body up from the dream)

God damn it, I hate hulu with the living passion of a thousand rabid weasels.

Well...I hate myself for not having seen this earlier.

And that's really about all I have to say on the matter at the moment.
