See Scott Pilgrim! I enjoyed it quite a bit more than Inception, personally. It needs all the money it can get, anyways. 
I’d definitely say Scott Pilgrim as well. Haven’t seen either yet, but it hasn’t been making much money and I’d take a new experience over revisiting an old one.
Thanks for the advice, love70ways, Bryko and Leirin. I’ll see Scott Pilgrim and “expand my cinematic library”, something I’ve always enjoyed doing. Right now, however, I have to go watch Vampires Suck with my little sister and her friend…kill me now…
I feel so very sorry for you. =(
Thank you so much, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is on life support as it is. As for Vampires Suck, well, Scott Pilgrim should erase that memory from your mind, anyway.
It was just…so bad. I’ve never seen anything so horrible in my life, except maybe Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over. There were a few chuckle-worthy moments (like the Segway), granted, but…a chihuahua? Really? All the Twilight jokes at their disposal, and they choose that? Bring on the brain bleach.
Parents might be putting me through Persepolis tonight. Honestly, I always wanted to see the movie, but with parents? Gonna be really uncomfortable.
I don’t like how, since I turned 13, Dad thinks I’m ok with anything rated PG-13. I’m not. I still get squeamish around certain PG movies.
Oooo, I love Persepolis! I hope you enjoy it, Leirin, even if you’re parental units are there!
Ooh, Leirin, please post your thoughts! I’ve been itching to see that film for a while. I have a bit of an opposite problem with my parents. They think I can’t handle PG-13 and R rated movies. Although I do agree that it’s pretty awkward to watch more adult films with parents. I don’t really know why, considering they’re the ones who should be worried that it’s gonna “affect me” or whatever.
Well, my parents don’t usually let me see PG-13 movies… except for the animated ones (oh, and Pirates of the Caribbean)! They aren’t stuck with the mentality that animation is a kid’s medium, no… they just forget it isn’t always “appropriate” until they see it. 
Especially since Mom didn’t appreciate me watching Fantastic Mr. Fox (“OMG, THEY DRANK CIDER AND SAID ‘CUSS!!!’”). I’ll post my thoughts on it when I’m done, anyway.
EDIT: So… apparently I’m not going to see this movie. Sis REALLY didn’t want to see it and went over to parents and told them what IMDB’s content guide said and they’re, like, “Oh, ok, I guess you won’t be seeing it.” Somehow, I don’t know whether to feel angry or not.
Persepolis is an incredible cinematic experience. I’m sorry you didn’t see it.
Yeah, pretty bummed about it, actually. 
They’re watching it alone right now, maybe they can decide if I’m allowed to see it afterwards.
It’s got language, but it’s not “dirty”. It’s art.
Sadly, I only saw the last half of Persepolis. But I had read the book, so I knew what was going on. I really hope you get a chance to see it, Leirin. Virginia is right, it’s art, plain and simple.
You’re right, it is definitely fantastic to see a real blockbuster-style film coming from here finally. I think I will go and take some friends to give it the support it deserves. I read yesterday that it’s already had the third-biggest opening for any Australian film ever. I don’t think it’s science fiction, though?
Interesting, my parents are okay with me seeing adult movies and sometimes even recommend movies for me to watch! I guess it’s because my mom used to be a heavy horror fan when she was in high school, and my dad is in the Army, anyways. It’s still kind of weird, though.
Remember kids, loads and loads of violence with extended amounts of blood and gore is okay, as long as there isn’t any of sex or naughty words.
EDIT: Woah, I love the way this website censors certain words.
Leirin: Watch Persepolis when you’re old enough, or read the book, they are great!
I saw Persepolis in cinemas. It is a pretty depressing film, but the character maintains unbelievable hope throughout the ordeal. And the ending will linger with you for days (it’s about identity, and being proud of where you come from).
Waltz with Bashir is also a great companion piece, although it is more ‘adult’ than Persepolis, and it actually is quite pessimistic. But yeah, it’s worth a watch, then you won’t feel like seeing it again.
I watched Saving Private Ryan for the second time in a long while on Free-To-Air last week. The D-day landing and final seige were bone-chilling, I seriously wondered how they filmed some segments (the actors must have went through weapons-training, cos’ the camera didn’t cut and you can see their faces when they were reloading guns and all that). Some of the parts are just so heartbreaking and ruthless that it’ll make men weep.
War is never a pleasant experience.
Inception (9/10) - No, it’s not some kind of revolutionary film.
However, if you don’t buy into the hype of almost Apple-ish proportions, you will get a pretty suspenseful and entertaining thriller with great acting.
They missed a nice opportunity, though:
[spoil]Revealing whether or not the top kept spinning, after the end credits[/spoil], I would have liked that.
I watched Waltz with Bashir quite recently, thedriveintheatre, and you’re right, it’s very pessimistic and quite shocking. I really liked the style of it though, and I would like to watch it again sometime.
totoro - I actually thought it was a great idea that [spoil]they didn’t reveal whether or not the top stopped.[/spoil] It leaves the film hanging and the audience guessing, so everyone has their own theories of what happens.
