OT - I'm bored, Part Four!

That's what makes it great. Special effects are a nice bonus, but it's the character development and struggle in Cobb that makes it a good movie. As much as the technology changes, the same things make a good movie now as made a good movie 50 years ago.

Relatedly, I'm trying to think who the best actors of my generation are. Dudes in the 25-45ish range. So far I have Leo, Matt Damon, and Johnny Depp. Who else rounds out that top 5?

Is Hanks too old?

How did you go from completely hitting the nail on the head with the first paragraph, and then writing that second paragraph? Leonardo just learned how to act...

No way, the guys been in so many silly good movies. It's not by accident. Blood Diamond and Inception two of the best of the past 5 years, and he was great in both.

I love Gary Oldman.

Also, Liam Neeson is on my list if he qualifies by age.

That's my point. Breakups are so much harder from 15-16ish to 24ish. You're "dating" lifespan is so short to this point and that person is SUCH a big part of it. Gonna be so many more women in the next 10-15 years of your life. It gets better.
