I must admit that I am a bit shocked to realize that you guys were actually serious in your praise of Inception. Until now I wanted to believe that it was just another Rick Astley bit :-) Not that Inception is not an OK movie, actually it's quite enjoyable, but fail to see what's so great about it. Cinematography, sound editing and sound mixing sounds just about right for me as the categories for which Inception was standing out. All the rest was somewhere between OK and pretty good. What categories do you think it should have gotten awards for? Direction? Acting? :-) [and in general I really appreciate De Caprio's acting, but there he was cruising].
Otherwise, during the holidays I watched the dragon animation with my brother and his kids and I found it very enjoyable. I sort of agree with David in that I did not quite understand why the giant badass creature had to be destroyed (but in fact the entire subplot about that creature did not make much sense at all)
