Hokay.

So, dahling Interwebz, last night I went to see Inception with a few friends--one had seen it twice before, and the rest of us were newbies to the Inception world. After the movie let out, most of the audience was kindof in a state of "Whhahhht?"/ "OMIGAWD. DID YOU SEE THAT?!"/"I don't get it" shock.

While walking to the car, we started to discuss the movie, as all movie goers do, which led to clashing opinions being thrown out--one of my friends, a writer didn't think that the script was any good, another one of my friends picked up on little nuances and was surprised and satisfied by her findings, and I, well, I was pretty much in a state of shock over the hotness of Leo & JGL. (Fo'realzies Interwebz, Leo, like a fine wine, gets better and more tasty with age.) After we drove home and parted ways, satisfied with our evening spent in the AC eating M&M's, we went to bed--I for one had a bit of trouble getting to sleep (I didn't want a war to be waged in my head while I had my 6 hours, thank you very much...)

Today, however there was a bit of drama between those who enjoyed and those who didn't...I've started to wonder if maybe the movie itself is a form of an "inception"--having people choose sides "pro-Inception" or "anti-Inception" and forcing them to argue it out thus giving the movie itself more press and precedence in our lives.

As you know, Interwebs, I don't like confrontation. I also believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I respect the fact that a few of my friends didn't think that Inception was as good as hyped--I agree that people made it out to be way more confusing than it actually was. I enjoyed the movie for it's cinematic qualities--the effects were beautiful, they enhanced the dreamworld, the casting was great--hello Joseph Gordon Levitt!--and I liked the fight scene in the anti-gravity. Pretty epicsawce, if I do say so myself.

As for the script, most action movies I've seen tend to have not-so-hot scripts. I go into the theater knowing that I'm going to see some hot men punch each other in the face and not hear epic award winning dialogue while they do it--and I'm okay with that. If in the future there is a movie that delivers both, sign me up!

So, Inception, I enjoyed you, but can't we just leave the drama at the theater where it belongs?

{Unless JGL is willing to make a house call. Then, I'm all for it.}
