One sound effect review: "Zzzzzzz"

[thehefner]

We just saw INCEPTION. Or, as I like to call it, FORGONE CONCLUSION: THE MOTION PICTURE.

Seriously, if you're gonna make a film with twists so evident early on, at least try to populate it with interesting characters who actually sound like people and less like plot devices, so that we can enjoy watching the story go through the motions instead of going through a boring film that actually feels longer than its own two-and-a-half-hour-long run time. Unless that's some meta comment on the passage of time in the dream state.

Expect spoilers in the comments, as I anticipate contention from what appears to be the most beloved and critically-celebrated live-action non-sparky-vampire film of the year.

Honestly, INCEPTION would be a kick-ass video game. It would have been a far more involving and exciting use of the realms and rules.

John, laughing at those sparkly vampires and those gay, fucking gay (and kinda date rapey) were-wolves is the only bit of entertainment I have had in a movie theatre all summer. I will hear no ill spoken of the funniest comedy series in years. Even if it doesn't seem to realize it's a comedy series.
