I understood him, but at times his pronunciation wasn't the greatest, I can see why some would find him hard to understand.


Oh, I had no problem with Ken's enunciation (90% of the time, at least... and if I focused really hard on his lips :mrgreen:), just my mom.

I stumble onto a discussion about the movie when I'm channel surfing and they seem to mention the rest of the cast, but not Ken. :(


Now that's a BLUDDY SHAME. Ken's character was at least as big as Joseph Gordon-Levitt's or Ellen Page's. Wazzup, Hollywood? :shakehead: It's not like Ken's just starting to break into the Western market, helloooo. He's practically the... Chow Yun Fat of Japan, lulz

Spoiler — click to reveal I still say Cobb is in dreamland. The REAL Inception was being planted in his head, not that of Fisher's, so that he could forgive himself after Mal's suicide. Hell, the firm going after Cobb could be projections as well.


Hmmm. Well that conclusion raises more questions than it answers, doesn't it? :D

I thought Watanabe's English was very good - his slight Japanese accent was only realistic in the context of the movie - after all he played a Japanese business man. I reckon these kind of complaints come from people who are not very often exposed to accents.

@Wynter: you're right it's from Trick the movie 3 - looking so much forward to see it.

I know Im a bit behind but I just saw SHerlock Holmes with Robert Downey and I liked it. Seemed like Holmes if he had really existed would have been strange and complicated like that.
As for Jude Law. He's coming along.

'X-Men: First Class' Director Changes Movie Because Of 'Inception'
Mike Ryan · August 3, 2010

Considering Professor X's telepathic powers, you'd think he might have seen this one coming.

"Inception," which has been the number-one film at the box office for the past three weeks, has had an uncanny effect on moviegoers across the world, almost demanding repeat business to unlock its mysteries. But "Inception" has also had an unlikely effect on a certain uncanny superhero franchise: Marvel Comics' X-Men. According to "X-Men: First Class" director Matthew Vaughn, a recent viewing of the blockbuster Christopher Nolan film forced him to change his own movie because of similarities to "Inception's" surreal, zero-gravity, rotating-room fight scenes.

Vaughn explained his changes to the L.A. Times: "I saw 'Inception,' which I loved, but my heart sank when I saw that a few of the ideas we had were up [on the screen]. So it's either leave it in and look as if you're copying or change things. We completely ripped out about 12 pages of the script and the storyboards."

Wow, X-Men: First Class? That's in my collection as well. I hope they don't ruin it like the they did with the three x-men movies. :sweat:

When I get into the swing of updating, I forget there's a forum here as well. When I do remember, I try to post. :beaten:

Lately there's been a glitch with the server, so updating pictures is at a standstill. Bites. At least I can still update the drama profiles.

Saw The Kids are All Right on Monday. It was good, but not really my kind of movie.

Also saw Winter's Bone a couple weeks ago, the acting and directing in that were top-notch, but I couldn't tell what they were saying a lot of times because of the accent and slangs, so I didn't understand why things happened the way they did in the second half of the movie. :sweat:

Read the Wiki on the movie... Roger Ebert called the movie "morally reprehensible" and gave it one star. :hehe:

A lot of people didn't like the strong language that the girl who played Hit-Girl had to use, but it seems like her parents were ok with it.

Ironic thing is, from the interviews, she said she wasn't allowed to watch the entire movie. :beaten:

From the clips I saw, she cracked me up with her sewer mouth. :rofl:
