hah, i can see that happening. for me, the scene ends abruptly, as if qt wrote the dialogue ,hi5'd himself, sat back and realized he forgot the scene was actually required in the plot for walken to continue pursuing clarence, but he'd left that out so he simply put a note on the door.

Inception vs Shutter Island. Say no more.

that's the entire point of inception! it's an elaborate behind the scenes movie about making a movie. You're absolutely right, there's no message there. entertainment value is high though. inception can withstand multiple viewings and still be fun to watch and discuss after, which to me, is a hallmark of a good movie- just be entertaining and engaging enough to be able to chat about.
I have not seen shutter island.
