Inception

Ok, so, it's a wonderful movie.  But you knew that, because it's what everyone's been saying...which is why I went to see it (finally).

Here's my non-spolier synopsis:

Christopher Nolan watched "Ocean's Eleven" and thought "Huh...that was pretty cool, but I bet I could do it in four dimensions with toroidal wrap-around..."

And so he did.  The End.

Obviously we share a brain. "Ocean's Eleven" and "What Dreams May Come" were the EXACT comparisons I was making, mentally.

(Well, that and "What if I did something like The Matrix, but actually had some kind of relevant emotional through-line instead of just power fantasy bullshit?")

Haircut for haircut, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is several orders of magnitude more fun to watch than Keanu Reeves, hands-down.

If there's one thing I need to thank Nolan for, it's bringing Joseph Gordon-Levitt back into my life. (My one age-appropriate childhood crush!)

I thought it was more like Vanilla Sky with less emo.

God, Vanilla Sky was awful.

And Ellen Page was adorable and winsome as ever
