In Inception—Christopher Nolan’s new is-real-life-really-real-life action-adventure heist thingy—everybody is my boyfriend (and yours!). Joseph Gordon-Levitt is my boyfriend because of suspenders. Tom Hardy is my boyfriend because watching him slouch in a chair is basically sex in slow motion. Ken Watanabe is my boyfriend because KEN WATANABE. Michael Caine is my boyfriend because of everything ever. Nolan has a better-than-average knack for mixing big action with believable humanity and keeps Inception‘s temporal origami blooming and folding at a rapid, rousing clip. Oh, and Leonardo DiCaprio. My boyfriend. (See Movie Times: thestranger.com/film.)
Lindy West was born an unremarkable female baby in Seattle, Washington. The former Stranger writer covered movies, movie stars, exclamation points, lady stuff, large frightening fish, and much, much more.... More by Lindy West
Can they be my boyfriends too? I’d hate to go to this and leave just laying plans to steal them from you, but I swear if you don’t share I will.
I just read your generous “(and yours!)” so went back to bed in shame for my @1’s impertinence.
Yes, but what about Cillian Murphy (aka Robert Fischer)?? He takes the cake as far as I’m concerned.
Can Ellen Page be my boifriend?
Reading Lindy West film reviews is sex in slow motion for me.
@4 no, I’d rather have her as my boyfriend …
Awww, I had been hoping for a full-length Lindy review of Inception. Still good though, and I’m even more eager to see it now.
