I very well aware of Hollywood being a business and im well aware they don't care what some guy in Scotland thinks. That still is not going to stop me expressing my wishes for Hollywood to return to more innovation as a way forward.

Oh, they don't care what I think, either. 

I would like Hollywood to be more innovative, too, but they never will be until the dollar forces them too.

(And, in all honestly, Hollywood has never really been that innovative. The good stuff usually comes from either smaller, independent studios or a director fighting the system.)

Cooppla successfully beat the system with the The Godfather and the studios embraced independence and innovation as the way to bring audiences back to the theatres. Until Lucas and Star Wars gave birth to the blockbuster and the stale repetitive formula began to take shape bringing us the Bays and Cameron's we have today.

His modern day counterpart with out a doubt is Noland who turned a story of bat and clown into the greatest so far post 9/11 America film. Which resulted in Warner parting 160 million for Inception which i just seen tonight 

It takes awhile how ever for most modern films to really have a lasting impression on me save from There Will Be Blood which after 1 viewing i was totally in love with. Inception was impressive and yes i did get everything about but it will still take me couple more before im over the moon with it.

One odd thing about it was the third level or dream where it was like Modern Warfare 2 lol. I mean wtf was Ellen Pages character playing Modern Warfare 2 with her boy friend the night before so she created a dream around it

Ellen Page wasn't the dreamer, she was the architect.  The Dreamer in the 1st level was the Chemist, in level 2 was Joseph-Gordon Levitt's character and in the 3rd level (with all of the combat) was Tom Hardy's character.  That is why those dreamers had to stay on that level.

Yeah i meant she designed it. So technically though he's dreaming it it's still her design.

But remember, she designed the levels without the knowledge that Cillian Murphy's character had dream training.  She wasn't expecting gunfights with his subconscious.

True enough so then Murphy's characters sub contentious must have been based around Modern Warfare
