I'm useless at finding things on the internet
How difficult can it be to find a couple of second hand shops that sell wedding dresses around Manchester? If you're me, very difficult.

What are you useless at?

Alt.Q: Have you watched Inception yet? It's great!

Edit: I'm so sorry, Gonz, so sorry. There was nothing when I started to type.

You could always delete it and start it later?

Inception is good but just good. The last third of the film with the 3 threads at once is soooooo slow. Plus cop out on the ending. Loved the idea though and would give it a strong 7 out of 10.

It could have improved with a better ending
I think they'll make a 2nd
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Wed 21 Jul 2010, 14:34, Reply)

I thought the ending was perfect
And the pacing of the final third was spot on. A very polished, and brilliant film.

The acting saved it,
not one weak performance although your man from Third Rock From the sun was trying his hardest to be the new Keanu Reeves. Leo was good though back to form after the bollocks that was Blood Diamond.

I don't want to spoil it for other people, but what happened to the token?
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Wed 21 Jul 2010, 14:47, Reply)

I think the ending is precisely why there shouldn't be a sequel.

( Devil_In_Tights the *real* DiT!, Wed 21 Jul 2010, 14:50, Reply)

Agreed
Leave it as it is.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 21 Jul 2010, 14:51, Reply)

I don't think Nolan would make a sequel to it anyway,
Inception's clearly a labour of love.
( Devil_In_Tights the *real* DiT!, Wed 21 Jul 2010, 14:52, Reply)

He's worked on it for 8+ years
If he'd have wanted to do a sequel/series, he'd have seeded more in the film, make it look like the beginning to something as opposed to a wholly complete article.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 21 Jul 2010, 14:55, Reply)

I just think
He could have done the ending a lot more thrilling. Too many doors closed.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Wed 21 Jul 2010, 14:56, Reply)

Whaaaaaat?
I think you need to watch it again. The brilliance of the ending (without wanting to give too much away) is the realisation of the meaning it has for the rest of the film when you look at it again.

Well, I think so anyway.
( Devil_In_Tights the *real* DiT!, Wed 21 Jul 2010, 15:03, Reply)

I wholeheartedly agree!
I want to see it again, see how I perceive it all with the knowledge of the ending firmly in mind.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 21 Jul 2010, 15:05, Reply)

No
I think it could have been much better, but explaining it here would spoil it. Just think of how he sees his kids every single time. The clothes they are wearing and how they're playing. And then, how he sees them at the end. Can you tell the differences?
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Wed 21 Jul 2010, 15:11, Reply)

I'm becoming more confused reading this post than I was watching the film.

( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Wed 21 Jul 2010, 15:09, Reply)

So, did you see the ending and NOT think about the implications it had?

I don't want to say in the main thread incase anyone has seen it. I'll gaz you

I went to the Premiere of Inception, and stood right next to Chris Nolan.
But that's another story. Excellent, wonderful film.

that's the funny thing
I just went in there to get a prescription for my standard meds, not for a diagnosis or anything. He asked me to explain why he should be prescribing vast quantities of pain meds to a 'young girl' so I explained the illness/residual pain and he told me to stay strong and he'd pray for me

I didn't mind :)
my whole family is Catholic, and he's a Maltese doctor in an extremely Catholic country.

I did bloody mind that my meds are 'hospital only' in Malta, and there are no alternatives
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 21 Jul 2010, 14:58, Reply)

did he sort you out with a prescription though?
that's pretty odd. god has no place in medicine.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 21 Jul 2010, 14:57, Reply)

see above
meds are 'hospital only' here though he did write me a note for the hospital, it's about one and a half hours away on a bus

MBTs I think they're called
I fell over on a night out and my foot came out of my shoe (high heels with ankle strap, which meant it bent a lot and is now extremely sore.

But I wasn't at the doctor for that, just for a refill prescription

Yes, those are the ones
I've read a lot of reviews, and they're all good, but still don't know.

my mother and my father both own MBTs. They like them a lot and think they work, but I found them quite heavy myself to walk in

It makes it very funny, as for us a sentence means something completely different depending on which past you use. He doesn't like me laughing at him.

Haha!
It's not a bad trick. The problem with the past is that you have 2 past tenses and we have 6, that's without counting the continuous tenses. He can't understand why we need 4 more than you.

We have as well 4 futures instead of 1 like you, but I think they're easier to understand.
