I thought Inception, was bloated, long, convoluted and impossible to follow. I know a few people, here in California, who saw it high, and thought it was freaking great...
but they were high.
honestly, I liked Dark Knight..
for this type of movie, ( a movie about dreams) try the original Lathe of Heaven.. (not the James Caan remake from the 1990s )
Inception really isn’t a movie about dreams. Inception is a heist picture, like the Italian Job, with a team that was made up to reflect the movie business (there’s a producer with all the money, a star, a director etc), then there’s all dream structure/ nature of reality/ is this story the story we told you it was stuff. But the type is still heist.
I was in France and wandered into a movie theatre that was showing something called Mad Max II. It was in French and I had no idea what they were saying but the characters and action totally blew me away. Road Warrior was a great movie so I’m glad the people had faith and saw the potential in Mad Max.
You know Eat Love Pray is a stinker when even Rolling Stone gives it 1 star.
I don’t know; I haven’t seen it. When it comes out on DVD, I may check it out from the library just to see if it really IS as bad as many say it is.
What do my fellow Freepers think about The Last Airbender? Did anyone see it?
It’s actually one of the best movies in the world to watch in a language you’re not good with. It’s got less dialog than the average half hour sit-com. Byron Kennedy believed that when people were talking nothing was happening and they were making an action movie. The final chase is still one of the best bits of automotive mayhem ever shown for entertainment.
Is it just me, or does Mel's voice sound like it was dubbed in Mad Max?
Most of the versions in America, up until the most recent DVD release, it is dubbed, almost all the voices were.
Seriously? I didn't notice as much with the other actors, but Gibson always sounded odd to me.
"The Nightrider. Remember him... when you look at the night sky."
Yeah, the distributors decided that Americans weren’t familiar enough with Australian accents and colloquialisms (remember this was 1979 AC/DC was just starting to hit here, Australian imports were rare), so they dubbed everything but the various singing and the guy with the voice box, and changed some dialog. If you hear them say “windscreen” that copy has the original audio, “windshield” is a dubbed version.
Watch the tongue sweetheart, I’ve seen him lick his eyebrows clean.
