Inception. Wow.

OK, so I know I'm more than a month late on this, but whatever. I'm not gonna talk about the movie...too much.

So I'm subscribed to a bunch of deals websites in Sydney for free / cheap stuff and sales. Why? Because since coming to Australia, I decided mimicking the spending habits of the Democratic People's Republic of The Obama-Socialist Commune wasn't a prudent financial strategy; I shouldn't have worked for 4 years at Google and have no savings to show for it. Budgeting, gonna try it.

Anyways, where was I? Oh right. One of the lists is a "cheap" movie of the week. This is because movies in Australia are ridiculously expensive. Upwards of $18 for an adult ticket. "Cheap" in this case means $9 + $1 online booking fee. One good part about Australian movies, you book your seat ahead of time, so no need to show up early.

Damn it! Why do I keep getting side-tracked. I made a spur of the moment decision upon seeing the online offer and just bought a ticket. I had wanted to see a movie by myself for some time now. One, because I have no friends, but also to see what it's like to just quietly enjoy a movie all to myself, without worrying about where/when to go, how to get seats all together, this that and the other. That and it was nice to make up my own mind about the movie. I have surprisingly not read too much about the film beforehand, and I didn't have to listen to someone else's analysis right after*.

So, I bought some skittles, an Orange Fanta, and an ice cream cone (because I'm a fat kid trapped in a tall man's body), and got ready to enjoy the experience.

It's not a bad experience really. It allows me to stew in my own enjoyment of the movie, and damn if I didn't enjoy the shit out of that movie. Ending was a bit weak, but there was no part of the movie where I felt less than 100% psyched to be watching. And this is something considering how badly I had to piss. Chirstopher Nolan is a genius. I just hope he doesn't get a big head now and either start making crap or stop making movies. Also, Joseph Gordon Levitt's zero-gravity fight scene was the tits. Batman 3, I expect at least THIS MUCH awesome.

*Not that I don't value the opinion of my friends immensely. Just know I consider it worthless.
