    We’re supposed to go see Inception this evening. I hope I like it as much as you did. I really liked The Hurt Locker – it made me think of a friend of Vance’s the whole time I watched it.

    I saw Inception and would give it an F-…I like Salt a whole lot better and would rather have spent my money on seeing Salt again.
