I can attempt to be a professional basketball player, but no matter how horrible I am at basketball, that doesn't mean that I'm doing it... it means I'm NOT doing it.

I am sad. I thought Inception was really fun cinematically. It didn't seem to pose any philosophical questions that weren't already there in The Matrix but I have a "the more movies the merrier" attitude about that.
