The nature of the ending we could go round and round on.  You could as easily argue that the movie ends before the top topples over, or that it never topples over.  My wife made the point that at the end, the top does start to wobble a bit before the fade out, where as every other instance of the top in the dream world (where Dobbs performs his first inception, for instance) it was perfectly still as it spun.  That's as valid as any.  I love that it really does not clue you in one way or another.

I agree with most of what Mike said, but I'm ok with Ellen Page's character.  In the scene with her and Dobbs where she's moving shit around, he made it clear (to me at least) that what she can do...ANYBODY can do in the dream scape.  He just made it clear that she shouldn't because the more you do that, the more you make the subconscious attack you.  Remember as soon as she started moving shit, his subconscious became more vicious with her.  Additionally since they establish Cillian's character as having stronger defenses than most, they would retaliate harder if they started bending walls and shit.

But yes.  I absolutely loved it.  I love how Nolan makes complex ideas, but with a very emotionally appealing center.  The stuff with Mol and Dobbs at the end really affected me, and the entire time my brain was very happy with a deliberately structured, grounded, sci-fi.  Movies like this (though with its flaws) make me very optimistic about filmmaking going forward.

Yup.  I will be one by Friday night.  Any DiF fans that want to informally meet up with me or internet funny-man Seanbaby can find us drinking wednesday through friday night.

I love SIn CIty, and as ad hoc Comic Book guy, Id love a crack at that.  Gattaca is badass, as well.

Haven't gotten through the whole commentary yet, but whoever brought up In the Blink of an Eye is my new friend.  I brought it up during Watchmen or FMJ, and its nice to see Murch get his due.

Bumping this because the Thursday schedule was just announced.  Ill be drinking consistantly at The Field in the Gaslamp district for most of this.  Who's gonna be there?

Not a problem at all Kyle.  My AIM is Astroninja1978

This is gonna sound HORRIBLE.

But she looks REALLY good since she battled cancer.

I'm very disturbed by all of this.

If I had an alternaate universe choice, it would be Last Starfighter and Last Dragon.  I LUUURRRVVVV Last Dragon.
