    I watched Despicable Me. I thought it was serviceable. The wife loved it.

      You can't claim no interesting dramas when you refuse to see "Inception" simply because you dislike perhaps the greatest actor of our generation. And the "wondering what you just watched" is overstated. If you can follow a murder mystery, you can follow Inception.

      I also recently saw "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" which is an awesome film for people who enjoy late 80s, early 90s video and arcade games.

      Toy Story 3 was really good. Despicable Me was really good as well. Kick-Ass was another really fun movie.

      Plenty of gold in this year's summer movie lineup.

        It's the new Rocky Horror?
        No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

          The fact you didn't want inception makes any opinion you have invalid.

                  Oh, I also didn't watch it because the previews looked immensely uninteresting, even setting aside the LDC factor. I trust my gut on those things. To be fair, I don't loathe LDC the way I do Orlando Bloom, he just strikes me as boring. And I know it's one of those "what did I just watch" movies, because the threads about it contained plentiful argument about the ending.

                  I also recently saw "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" which is an awesome film for people who enjoy late 80s, early 90s video and arcade games.
                  Really? The reviews said it was a mean-spirited, nihilistic ****fest. EDIT: Rottentomatoes says it's got 81%, so I suppose the WaPo reviews I read should be taken with a big grain of salt.

                  Toy Story 3 was really good. Despicable Me was really good as well. Kick-Ass was another really fun movie.

                  I mentioned the two kids' movies, and Inception though I don't think it's my style. I'd forgotten Kick-Ass; it didn't even show in local theaters, and it's been on our Netflix queue for a while now.

                            Eyuuuuh. I liked Inception a lot, but fluffing DiCaprio like this seems like a bit much for me. He sucks just as often as he pulls off good performances, and the good ones seem to almost always be him playing virtually the same person. I think his range is extremely limited--one could almost swap out his characters from The Departed, Blood Diamond, Shutter Island (which sucked), and Inception with little change to the films...
