Oh hi, I did not see your comment, because DreamWidth didn't notify me of it. Everything is DreamWidth's fault! EVERYTHING.
I'm not going to be able to watch Inception ever again without thinking of the man-train. Payback for your Flashdance shorter, okay.
And with all the mid-20th century sharp suits and slicked back hair it was rather gorgeous to watch. I do agree that Inception was an unparalleled cinematic spectacle, starring maybe the prettiest, most attractively-quaffed and -costumed people ever. Who all did uniquely, uniformly fantastic jobs making believe their terrible characters were marginally human superheroes! But, for me, every element of the movie's narrative was just so, so, so bad. Probably if I had not had the internet (and every third asshole I've spoken with since last Christmas) telling me it was just the most brilliant story of all time plus infinity no takebacks, I could've sat complacently on the couch and enjoyed the empty flash. But, alas: The internet ruins lives.
have you ever watched Paprika? No, actually! I'm not sure I've ever even heard of it. I tend to stick with serialized animu trash, for reasons cited above. Paprika's opening credits are super-amazing, though! ALSO THEY CONTAIN LITERALLY EVERY REMARKABLE ELEMENT OF INCEPTION'S PLOT & STYLE, INCLUDING THE SYMBOLIC ANGST TRAFFIC AND EAMES'S "MAGIC MIRROR OF I'M SO PRETTY NOW WATCH ME ACT." HAHA, THAT IS FUNNY, BY WHICH I MEAN 'INCREDIBLY GROSS.' Getting on that Paprika download now, thank you! orz
