Oh, god why is it Monday again?

Watched "Inception" last night. I know a lot of people who I love and respect think it's the best, most awesome movie in history.

With all due respect to your opinions...

OH MY GOD, THAT IS TWO HOURS I WILL NEVER GET BACK. Seriously. There were good ideas in it. However, they were hampered by the clunky writing, wooden acting, and the presentation that having mind raped his wife made him a tragic hero.

I will concede that Tom Hardy is adorable and snarky. I will concede that he and JGL would be a lovely couple. I will concede that Cillian Murphy is wonderful.

When the movie ended, I disliked it. Now, I LOATHE it.

Christopher Nolan is a very good visual director. Now, if he could get the gist of the actors, he might make a good movie. Batman was good because of visuals and Gary Oldman/Cillian Murphy/Lian Neeson. They're all good enough that they don't need direction. Christian Bale was so busy chewing gravel he was a non-entity, and Katie Homles was annoying. Second one was all Heath Ledger and Tiny Lister. The rest was boring and stilted.

I really hoped that he'd figured his shit out. But no.

Will I watch the next Batman, aka the White Washing of Bane? I don't know. I really don't.

I despise most superhero movies, especially if they're made by fanboys (any movie, really, my rants on LOTR have been many and often). The first Spiderman movie was good, despite having a weak Mary Jane, because it stayed true to the heart of the character. After that, pffft! And don't even talk about the X-Men movies, they're little but pimping for Wolverine and downright bash Cyclops.

I especially resent how the movies spill over into the written fandom, as people take their characterizations from them, instead of the original source.


I am very cautiously optimistic about the Captain America movie, as the shots I've seen posted look interesting. But I'll let my diehard fanfriends see it first when it's out, and report on it before I go.
