    I was very disapointed in that scene. "Dream bigger" and all you come up with is a grenade launcher? No magic wand? No plasma gun? No giant boot descending from the heavens?

    It was a very austere vision of what it is to dream.

      something about how anything too unrealistic will alert the target's subconscious to being inside of a dream

      idk inception doesn't really make sense and is basically just the matrix but straight

        Oh, is this Inception? I was vaguely excited to find out what it is and watch it, because I (for some reason, it certainly isn't because he's a good actor) enjoy Joseph Gordon-Levitt in things, and, well, of course you gotta love Tom Hardy. But I've already seen Inception (before I knew who these two people were, clearly), and, like, meh, it's really not that good. "Matrix but straight" might honestly be overselling it. Damn. Here I was hoping for schlocky action with actors I like that I'd somehow missed out on and instead it's takes-itself-too-seriously action with actors I like but I've already seen it and it's not that good. Shucks.

      Nolan’s rule: the blandest possible interpretation of fantastical ideas will one net you genre money without locking you out of an Oscar one day.
