Yes, I'm completely serious and not just being facetious.
Sad, I know. Two movies in the theater in the past year. And one was Eclipse. How did this happen!?
It's not because we don't do date nights or push our quality time to the back burner. We just don't go to the theater.
It's quite easy to believe when you consider the following:
- Our weekends are so often consumed with planned events: weddings, dinner with friends, trips home, work events, house projects, going out...etc.
- We have Netflix so we constantly have new release DVDs at our finger tips
- I enjoy being a home body
But really, we need to change this strange rut we have gotten ourselves into. According to some, motion picture theaters are gradually being taken over by The Digital Revolution and will soon be no more.
I'm not sure that's what will happen, but I don't want to miss out on really great flicks in the theater anymore.
Like Inception. The movie we watched last night from our new couch.
Wow, what a brilliant, compelling, well-written, make you think movie. It was hard to follow at times, spoken from the annoying movie watcher who asks way too many questions (Brian hates it), but completely held my attention.
Now, I know I am utterly behind on seeing this movie. Tell me something I don't already know. Like your take on the ending. If you haven't seen the movie yet, you may want to stop reading now.
I hear there is quite the debate going on about it, so I want to hear your thoughts on the matter.
At the end, when Leo was reunited with his children, was he in real life or in a dream? Did the totem keep spinning or did it topple over?

I feel asleep during Inception, but Ted might have some thoughts.
As for seeing movies in the theater, I might attend more often if it didn't cost $12/ticket, plus another $20 for snacks! I'd rather eat dinner out and watch a movie at home.
Both Andrew and I had different takes on the end. I thought the whole thing was a dream. He thought he was reunited with his kids. I hate vague endings!
Loved this movie! I like to belive he was reunited with his kids, but Tony thinks he was dreaming.
I'm with you on watching movies at home... I'd rather be in comfy clothes with a glass of wine than at a theatre :)
I think he was reunited. The writer of the movie said that they left it like that for the viewer to decide.... so there is no right or wrong answer!
