Inception was great fun, guys! And thanks to the chat room!

/now trying to get Eleventh Doctor's theme out of my head
//hey, anybody else notice that DiCaprio and Nolan look a lot alike?

Heh heh heh. I've dinged Nolan before myself, altho I mainly like his work. But putting Parker and Stone on the list is just bizarre. I don't love everything they've done, but they are absolute masters at storytelling.

Heh heh heh. That's my point, tho. You can't yada-yada-yada the Vader-Luke fight. It's got THINGS in it!

I will say that, sometimes, action-for-the-sake-of-action is great. Because maybe it's the payoff to some build-up ("Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.") or speaks to character in a broad way ("Oh shit. Everybody HOLD ON!") or whatever.

Still, a GREAT action scene is certainly one that has THINGS in it. The hero unmasks the baddie, shows his mettle, saves somebody, stops the monster, or whatever.

It's been so long since this was recorded, I think I'll have to listen to it again. I can't remember anything that was said other than JGL seemed to be enjoying himself.
