Sci fi films

Dear Internet,


I just watched inception for the second time and I still can't quite decide what happens in it. I love how I was questioning if its a dream or not throughout the whole film. Normally you don't wish for the ending to be that it was all a dream. 



I like inception, maybe even love it. But what I really wanted to talk about is the age difference/ views of my relatives. Seeing as its christmas we are spending more "family time" together than is healthy for the human mind, and I asked if anyone wanted to watch a dvd? I got a reply of "well nothings on tv".
So I gave the option of the different dvd's we had given each other over christmas. Toy story 3, Inception, and Shutter Island. We had allready watch the obvious family choice of Toy Story, so Inception (the special edition!) was broken out of the plastic coating and shoved in the tv.

Five mins in, "this is rubbish", "what the hell is this!"


So I listened to what the critics had to say! "This doesn't make sense", Its a dream it doesn't have to make sense, just go with it.


 "Whats happening" If you wern't talking you would understand, ...... wouldn't YOU.

"I don't like sci fi" Alright get out.


I don't understand how you can't like or at least appreciate one of the biggest film genres, even if you don't like it. You can't ignore that it also has one of the highest grossing films in it genre as well and many films that changed the whole industry. I know that there is an age gap, but if you don't embrace anything new at all or give it a chance you will miss out on so many things. I know that you don't have to try or experience everything, but at least realize how much it means to other people.

An example in which I'm on the opposing end is the twilight saga. I didn't want to know anything at first, but after I realized it wasn't going away for a while, I had my girlfriend explain the whole sorry to me. (I wasn't goingto read the books, but I have watched some of the films)
I kind of understand how it is so popular but it still sounds stupid to be honest.

but hey thats quite a long blog

see ya
