Besides it being awesome, I got to thinking...

What would your token be if you worked for that company?!

I used to love those rubber popper toys but the only problem with them is I'd probably put it on my thumb and it'd shoot off and I'd lose the dang thing and be stuck between what I perceived was reality and a dreamworld.




I guess if we won the National Championship 3 years in a row in football I'd kind of figure it out though...

I would have rated it as "good" until the ending, then it became "great".

My token would be a 50 cent piece. Could spin it to see if it stops.

I liked it, especially when it all came together in the end. Some what confused most of the time though. Don't be too harsh. :embarrassed:

When I watched Shutter Island I pretty much called that ending from 10 minutes in.

People were so proud for thinking of this "surprise ending", but it was made painfully obvious there were 2 endings that were possible. I just want to tell those people, congratulations, you passed a true/false test with one question on it.

Shutter Island looked stupid and predictable in the previews. It made me think inception would be dumb, too (sorry, Leo!)

How does a shootout in a zero gravity room equal dumb? It equals pure sex, my friend. Pure sex.

Haha, I had the exact same thought. And yes, opening scene in Shutter Island gave it away. But some friends dragged me to Inception, and it is definitely worth seeing.

Great movie. Only thing I didn't like was Joseph Gordon Leavitt as a badass.

This. He actually surprised me. The hotel scene was awesome with him. And the stairs.

They would've cast Heath Ledger to play him + the forgery/badass killing machine Aussie dude as one character, but he died.  So they cast those two.

All this movie made me think of was that neuroscientists are working on drugs to limit the amount of sleep we need and we are understanding more every day about the human mind.  I think slowing down time through perception will be possible and that looks terrifying.

i think he's English. Tom Hardy. He was actually in a very good movie about Charles Bronson.

I'd say it's been longer than that.  Whatever year Catch Me if you Can came out, he started cranking out some pretty solid roles consistently since then.

oh don't get me wrong, he's been making really great movies since 2002, but if you want to make it the last 8 years then leo has way more competition from depp, pitt, hanks and other dudes.
