Just wondering if anyone's ever tried it before?

I've never tried it before but I loved Vanilla Sky which is probably why I was so excited about this movie. I think a few people mentioned they had back in that thread but not sure.

Depends on what Award season will bring us, considering last year wasn't very great, I'm guessing this year will have more high calibre releases.

Maybe...it would help if it doesn't destroy the box office, Academy tends to give the big awards to depressing or indie films instead of blockbusters.

I have been able to lucid dream about 20 times. I never know when it's coming. Once in a while I find myself in a dream and realize "Hey I'm dreaming and I can do whatever I please". Sometimes I fly, sometimes I change locations by closing my eyes and spinning and the other times I have my way with women , sorry but I might as well put it to good use.

Avatar only won technical awards, it didn't win any of the major or important ones.

Yeah I mentioned before I think it'll get nominated for cinematography, special effects, set design and maybe costumes and makeup. Small chance Leo will get a nod.

If not then I will kill the Acadamy, this does deserve to be nominated for best pic, it just so well directed.

I think it should.

I just got home from seeing it the second time. Yeah, it is still awesome!

Since I work at a theater I will be able to pop in and get my fix.

Anybody not sure about a scene let me know.

I need clarificaiton

[Show spoiler]Did Cobb's projection of Mal die? I think I remember Ellen Page's character shooting her and some crying on the floor. Just can't remember her specifically dying.

I'm not trying to get more theories. I just can't remember.

Just came from the theater and I was NOT disappointed! An awesome psychological Sci-Fi. 5/5 stars from Blu Titan .

[Show spoiler]Projections can't die, I don't think. Especially since they're not true memories, besides we see another projection of her later, in limbo.

[Show spoiler]No she did not die, just her projection in that level...Mal wanted to get Cobb to a deeper level, the one in which they lived for 50 years.

Still

[Show spoiler]find it odd that he made her kill herself, especially since it is pretty obvious that she meant more to him than anything or anyone else in the entire world and still did long after she passed away.

Petra!!! Question.

[Show spoiler]I still don't understand how in the same limbo, Cobb ends up on the beach, not quite aged much. Does it have to do with him "letting go" of Mal?

[Show spoiler]It's not the same limbo he was in with Mal so long ago, it's just a different incarnation of limbo being affected by Cobb's memories/feelings.
