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 know several people that like Inception, but I can't even bring myself to attempt to watch it. I hate Leonardo DiCaprio and have since Growing Pains, and the little bit that I've seen and heard of the movie doesn't make me want to watch it.

I do like the most recent Batman movies, even though I didn't like the acting by either Katie Holmes or Maggie Gyllenhaal, they seemed stiff. However, I think a lot of it is just that I'm so happy to see something other than Batman Forever and Batman and Robin. I am a little concerned about the casting for the next Batman movie, but I've been proven wrong before, so I'll give it a chance regardless.
