If you rent a movie from Redbox through the following link before March 17th, I’ll get a free night’s rental out of it. Surely you’d like to help a cartoonist out, right? Heh. If it’s your first time renting through their website, you get a free night’s rental out of it, as well. Not sure if the free night’s rental will give me one, though, but eh, just use my link the next time to be sure. If you rent through their website, you get your choice of kiosks to pick it up at and are guaranteed to find it at that kiosk once you’ve reserved it. They also have an iPhone app for this, although the affiliate link is for their website. The site and the app save a lot of driving.

(I might rent Megamind next. It looks interesting.)

Not really sure what to say about Inception. People entered dreams, dreams within dreams were dreamt, dreams within dreams within… Who’s that wrinkly guy, anyway?

The worst part: there was a smudge or scratch right around the “10 minutes left in the movie” spot. RAAAAAGH! I’m pretty sure that over half the DVDs I play have some issue with them. I’ve come to EXPECT skipping in DVD’s. 10 minutes to the end is a horrible spot for unbearable skipping. After 2 cleanings, we successfully finished the movie flawlessly.

Still had trouble following what was happening. One nit I have is; can’t we do pretty much anything we want in dreams? Why should bullets hurt people in the dream? Especially if you KNOW it’s a dream. I say they should have flown around and rode on porpoises. For being a dream world, they dreamt only stuff you can see in real life, with the exception of the town being folded over and a train barreling down the street. I was quite pleased to see the train, simply because it was finally looking like a dream! I find the idea of the projections being perturbed by changes to the dreamscape unbelievable. In a dream, you just accept that things are happening, not aware that anything is odd. I think that projected people would do the same.

One compliment I do have for it, though, is that it didn’t feel like 2 and a half hours. It actually felt shorter than the playing time, so it must have been somewhat interesting.
