SouthPark: Insheeption

[Ubermetalhed]

Hey everyone just saw the newest SouthPark episode Insheeption and imo it was fantastic.

Not just for the usual comedy but for the fact SP showed that Inception was an over-rated, unoriginal and uneccessarily complex movie. I totally agree with the SP guys although I will admit it was still a good movie, despite these negative points.

So to those who've seen the episode what did you think, did you think they did a great job at showing the movies flaws? Or did you think they were taking cheap and unintelligent shots at the movie?

I never saw Inception don't plan to see it, I didn't realize that is what they were making fun of until you said it, I just thought it was funny lol.

 

[Outright Villainy]

Well I'll put it this way: I haven't watched south park in over a year because they can never think of more than one joke per episode anymore, and so they repeat it for the entire episode.

South park calling something unoriginal is a tad hypocritical.

 

[Armored Prayer]

I can see where the creators are coming form, and while I never seen Inception I still thought the episode was funny.

Best part is when the bullies get shot repeatedly.

 

[Kittenmauler]

Care to elaborate on how inception was unoriginal or too complex? I disagree with both. Haven't seen that southpark though.

Dammit, I forgot a new south park was on last night....GRRR!!

I thought Inception was great. Sure there's pretty much no message or significant depth to the movie, but the plot was interesting and the acting and everything were very well done.

I wouldn't really call it unoriginal either, I can't think of any movie that's anywhere like it.

Snooki wants Smoosh Smoosh!!!

I thought it was hilarious, though I don't agree with what they were saying, really.

I do agree that convoluted plots and incoherent stories don't make a movie "intelligent" or "cool" but I don't think that's what Inception was.

I understood it just fine but I still found the episode extremely funny considering I know so many people who think they're of higher intelligence because they liked Inception

What's unoriginal about Inception, or complex for that matter? The film makes expert use of Ariadne (where the hell did Nolan get that name from though?!) as the audience's voice during the film so that everything is explained.

I just love having Freddie Kruger as an Arnie-style retired government operative, with a wife and kids.

Just saw it as well so many epic lines. I'm a butterfly, I have no care for your human needs.

I liked inception. It had a convincing sci-fi, good action, and good characters.

I didn't agree with the bashing of inception on South Park last night simply because most of it was untrue. You don't have to be intelligent to follow its plot, its actually very straight forward. If anything south park made it sound far more complicated than it really was. The jabs at it were some pretty cheap shots as really the only thing they built their joke around was the hype over the movie being of "higher intelligence". Frankly it was an okay episode that gave a few good laughs but I felt the bashing of Inception was more a "hey this was popular, lets make fun of it." than it was actually pointing out the movie's flaws.

If Inception suffered from anything it was a lack of imagination. What's the point of placing your characters into a dream world when you're simply going to make that dream world mimic the real world? Take the exchange between two characters when they're defending the warehouse. One character's got a normal gun, then the British con artist walks up and informs him to not be afraid to "dream" a little bigger (kind of a bad pun) and all he produces is a measly grenade launcher. Really? That was his idea of dreaming bigger?

I'm sure there's an argument in there about how the dream had to seem real so they could fool their target's mind into believing so, but frankly I felt Nolan did not use the dream setting to its fullest potential.

It was funny but the problem (as it is whenever south park makes fun of something) is that they make up stuff to make things more ridiculous. While everything is explained in the movie in a logical way, South Park makes it look like nothing makes sense.

Also, I don't think that Incepption was over-hyped or too complicated. It was an extremely good, intelligent movie.

 

[kebab4you]

Never seen Inception either but I liked the South Park episode a lot, especially the dude that did the BGM for when they explained how it worked.

Ok im someone and I didn't see the newest SouthPark episode. And how is Inception unoriginal and how the hell can anything be uneccessarily complex?

EDIT: I don't know what happened with the quote but answer my question please

 

[Loonerinoes]

Either you get it or you don't. Nolan said, right from the get-go, that he wasn't going to make things easier for the audience watching it so one had best expect that when you get into it. Heck, I expected it and even I needed 2 viewings before I picked up on all the details, even if I got the general gist of it all down. Not to mention that it's been a long while since a movie was released that was *this* unforgiving to short attention spans of the audience and anything that rare in today's world well...I figure it's worth something at least.

That said, if one didn't get it then it may be more gracious to just say "Eh...this isn't for me I think." rather than "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA what a RIPOFF! I'm gonna go back to masturbating furiously to my own verbal takedown of this movie and anyone STUPID enough to have liked it!" Not saying that's what they did (didn't see the episode myself either) but yes...if it was warned up front, that it wasn't going to be something that everyone was going to like or understand...why the hell are you complaining regardless of that warning?

The film makes expert use of Ariadne (where the hell did Nolan get that name from though?!) as the audience's voice during the film so that everything is explained.

*cough* Greek myths, you know, the lady that helped Theseus to get through the labyrinth of Minos, giving him a spool of fleece so he wouldn't get lost... Don't they teach you anything at schools these days?
