Well, everything in a movie has to be taken in context of the characters. Cobb refused to even look at the projections of his children because he knew that they were a trap to keep him caught in the dream space. He did what he did to Mal because he could not accept a substitute for reality. At the end, he spins the top but as soon as his kids call he runs to them. It really doesn't matter whether or not he is dreaming. He accepts this reality, and his interpretation is really all that matters in the context of the movie. There simply aren't any intentional hints dropped to clue us in that he is wrong (Going by the director's explanation of the ending).

Have we mentioned that the kids that appear at the end of "Inception" are played by different actors than the ones in prior scenes?

The remake of Total Recall is getting some pretty solidly crappy reviews. 13% positive right now on RT, which is really, really bad for a 200 million dollar movie. I expect it to have a nice opening week, maybe 70 million, then drop off very quickly. Or, hey, maybe moviegoers will continue to pay for crappy remakes, and Hollywood will keep squeezing them out.

I saw that, but didn't put much stock in it.

Until that point, whenever the kids were present, Cobb never saw their faces. He even would turn away to avoid seeing them. So, the fact he didn't turn away that time bolsters the case that Cobb had decided to accept this as reality at the end. But it's still a bit flimsy to say that it means it actually "was" reality.

For shizz and giggles I dropped by G4 for a few minutes of Batman Forever. I was shocked to hear a Flaming Lips song.

There has been a fair amount of buzz, from the kinds of people who talk about this kind of crap, that Bill Murray might be an Oscar contender for playing FDR in a movie.

But that's not what inspires me to make the post. What draws my attention is the fact that Olivia Williams is playing Eleanor Roosevelt. Just to clarify, this woman



is cast in a motion picture as this woman



To be fair, Eleanor was better looking in her youth,



tall and curvy if you could get past the horse teeth, but goddamn, that movie is set in 1939.

I just saw this today. "Jaws" in a theater. I am so stoked.

The Total Recall remake looks like a bomb. Serves them right. If you are going to trot out old crap, you at least need to put a new slant on it. The criticisms I've read say it is like a scene for scene remake.
