Has anyone seen the documentary Miss Representation? If so, what did you think?

Having just watched it yet again: How the hell did Inception lose best picture to The King's Speech, and how the hell did people think The Social Network was the one that got robbed? It was the best movie of the year, and it was by far the most entertaining movie of the year.

That sounds like a bad comedy about an incompetent congresswoman. Probably starring Pauly Shore.

Rob Schneider turned it down, so I hear.

Black Swan is the one that got robbed. Several others that I'd take over Inception in a heartbeat, though.

Just so long as you'll admit that you are wrong for doing so.

Black Swan was great. Inception was better.

Kauffman and Jonze are getting back together. They both need a rebound and I think this is a great recipe. I'm geeked.

Does Kaufman really need a rebound?

Edit: I mean, I guess I just didn't realize Synechdoche, NY was a miss. I absolutely loved it.

I found it too dull, sad and confusing.
I had forgotten he has another coming himself that sounds pretty cool, though. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1798634/

Inception was fun, and a really great popcorn movie. It was also horribly inefficient in telling its story. It was a great concept executed in the most clunky way imaginable. Net it out and it was a good movie that doesn't even sniff great. There's a reason nobody that matters took it seriously as an Oscar winner.

Black Swan was a great movie and it would have won the Oscar if not for the Academy's notorious safe side. There's not even a contest between the two.

Paprika, the movie that Inception more or less ripped off*, is a lot better.

*I don't really care about plagiarism. I'm an unabashed Tarantino fan after all.
