Quote of the Day

As I already sorta explained in my sorta review I had a mixed response to Inception, but now that I've finally seen it I've opened up the flood-gates and started reading all the reviews - I'd kept myself from reading anything beforehand, lest I spoil anything - and even though I have a lot of problems with the film it's definitely one that's a lot of fun to read about and discuss. So that's a point in its favor.

Roger Ebert has a nice piece up about how important and rich this sort of debate can be, but my favorite thing illustrating this point so far is this chat between Rich at FourFour - who hated it - and Gabe from Videogum - who loved it. This part made me LOL:

"Rich: I did NOT find it visually arresting. I was disappointed by how drab and unimaginative everything looked. I blame the flatness of Ellen Page’s hair and osmosis."
