I watched both of these films this weekend - Inception for the first time and The Dark Knight for the second. They are both incredible. Incredible! Inception was definitly one of the best movies I have seen in a long time.
I should also mention that I love having weekends off.

I'm not very good with words.
I stammer. I slur. I get nervous. Things sound better in my head than they do when they come out of my mouth.
