Inception

I had to Google him. So far his movies have been hit or miss with me.

But if it's like The Prestige, then I'll again be very disappointed.

Oh well, I actually liked the Prestige very much (although he did leave way too many clues for me to guess everything).

There wasn't one likable character in the lot. Maybe Michael Caine, but he's always pretty likable. So not having anyone to root for sorta ruined the whole thing for me.

Sorry. Didn't mean to derail.

I can only hope this one is as good as his Batman movies.

Count me in as being excited to see this one. I didn't care for Memento (probably not the movie's fault, I rented it minutes before the planes crashed into the towers on 9/11), but I loved everything else Nolan has done.

I didn't know he did Memento. I liked that movie, and the Prestige. (Though I hated Dark Knight) Hopefully Inception will be worth watching. The only thing I could see that might go wrong is if they overplay the dream sequences at the expense of the story itself.

His first film that's not an adaptation. It'll be interesting. Can't wait. This and Toy Story 3 are the only movies I've cared about all summer.

I'm pretty sure she's still chewing on my shin bone from the last time I mentioned my distaste for DK. (Though my issue wasn't with Joker, so it was a less kill-worthy offense.)

Inception cannot come out fast enough.

Not a DiCaprio fan, so I'm taking a pass.

I'm on board with Chris Nolan. He hasn't disappointed me at all yet. My favorite filmmaker out right now, as I'm sure I've mentioned too many times here before. Can't wait for this flick. Looks ambitious and, lo and behold, it's an original story. Dig that....

I'm pretty sure you could still dig up my original thread about this, dated about two years ago, when all I had to announce about this movie after reading the first press release was Chris Nolan's new film will be Inception and stars DiCaprio.

Sold.

Yeah, I'm a big DiCaprio fan as well as a big Nolan fan.

I saw the trailer months ago and I thought - what an amazing movie. I only learned afterward that Nolan was the director. Memento is one of my all-time favorites, though his other movies mentioned in this thread were mostly so-so, not bad, but not really excellent.
I still believe Inception could be my favorite movie of the year. Last year, that 'award' went to Benjamin Button.

I watched the trailer for this when I was watching the A-Team movie (which was awesome) and I was thinking, "WOW! That movie looks really cool!"

And so, I'm gonna see it with friends next week as I'm stuck with visiting my family this week.

Just making sure he lands on the right day. It would suck to use up all that plutonium and then arrive a day early...

Oh son of a...I thought it said June 16th in the trailer

Ah well.

I suppose I'll spend my time throwing paper airplanes at the moose's head in my room.

I became a DiCaprio fan with his acting in The Departed.

In retrospect, he was always a good actor, I guess I just hated on him a little bit with Titanic. And even with that film, I have to admit that he was good in it.

So, he is on my short list of actors who I will pretty much see anything he is in.
