Re: 9.1/10 160,105 votes on IMDb

Inception will probably be at #99 in 25 years time and some new film will be in the at #5. It's just how it is. Anyway, when did film criticism (or praise) become all about numbers? IMDB, RT, Metacritic and so on. I can't stand this whole 'My favourite movie is the best movie because Rotten Tomatoe...

Re: Nolan: I view INCEPTION as Film NOIR.

What's your point? Are you arguing that Film Noir is a genre or just finding another reason to appreciate Inception ? Anyway, I do not think Inception strictly qualifies as a film noir. It's got most of the basic elements of a modern film noir (neo-noir is the best term), but film noir, no. The best...
