I'm contemplating buying the soundtrack. Is it fairly definitive? Does it have the piece from this trailer?

No, it doesn't. That song is called "Mind Heist" by Zack Hemsey. It was made just for that trailer.

The thing I like most about Inception is that it has a tremendous respect for its audience's intelligence. It throws tons of information at you and really does ask you to be able to get it, and yet it gets it across very smartly so that it really is quite possible to digest. And it's also not really manipulative - up until the end I was convinced that someone was going to have some kind of secret agenda, or there'd be some sort of WHAT A TWIST ending, and I was honestly quite glad that it ended up not fucking with the audience the way that so many 'smart' movies to in order to seem deeper. The last shot may qualify as an attempt to mess with the audience's expectations, but I see it more as a final character beat than anything else. It was great, complex, information-packed, and yet it was reasonably straightforward storytelling. Much props.

Well said, well said. A lot of summer blockbusters don't really require much active listening in order to fully understand the plot. This is something Inception succeeded at in an amazing way, particularly because you didn't need that much repeated to you related to the concept because of how well the movie integrated the explication of the premise.

Everyone kept laughing at the film when I went to to see it, fucking annoying. The twat sitting next to me started laughing out loud during the zero gravity part.

Yeah, I got some weird laughs in my theater too. Not too many though, maybe four. I may have done one myself, but I couldn't help it.
That "paradox" one-liner by JGL was hilarious to me.

"Hur hur them people is floatin! You can't float oh man!"

Someone started laughing during the snow sequence ending and during the final scene. I guess laughing their reaction to not understanding? That's the best I could sort out.

This was the kind of bullshit that was pissing me off during the movie. I had a couple next to me and a few fucks sitting in front that just couldn't help but snicker at moments during the movie where is just wasn't appropriate to do so and I couldn't help but wish they would get run over by a semitruck when they walked out of the theater.

Meh, there were a few parts that were meant to get laughs out of the audience.

Tom Hardy ragging on JGL like 4-5 times (such as when he's pushing him in the chair), and Dileep Rao when he turns around to the van and says, "Did you see that?!"

Right. Those scenes were meant for laughs. We're talking about people giggling at the action sequences and emotional scenes. Way to ruin the moment you fucking twats.
 
Anybody done the Xzibit meme yet? Got a link to the image?
Yo dawg, I heard you like to dream. So we put a dream in your dream in your dream, so you can dream while you dream in your dream.

Movie was pretty straight forward. I don't understand why some people don't get it.

Morons. It was so easy to understand! How can you not understand this simple movie.

There have been 3 movies released this year that have dreams getting screwed around with and Leo is in 2 of them. Hopefully this leads to more scifi.
 
I totally don't get the "movie logic" that humans only use a portion of their brain power when awake, but when they dream they use more.


When humans are awake they are using nearly all of their brain power.


Perhaps I didn't hear the lines in the movie correctly.

It's just a commonly held myth that found its way into the script.

Nolan needs to read up on some basic neuroscience then.



Overall it is a very fun movie. I saw it in IMAX and plan to watch it again in IMAX.
 
Lived up to the hype I created inside of my head, which isn't quite as high as most of GAF, I don't think, but still. :lol

The Prestige is still his best film, but this is a very close second, just pipping Memento. I desperately want to watch is again to clarify some things in my head.
 
wow, that was a great article by Ebert. He kind of tears Armond White apart. :lol

speaking of the /Filmcast with Armond White starts at 9pm EST!

What is this /Filmcast? Do you watch it online? TV? Never heard of it...

That's gonna be fun.

Hopefully they won't have their tail in between their legs the entire time, though.

After Nolan had struck pay dirt with "The Dark Knight," everyone in town was throwing juicy projects at the filmmaker's feet. "But Chris hadn't found anything that quite landed with him," recalls Robinov. "So he went back to working on 'Inception,' which he'd started seven or so years ago. When it was done, his agent, Dan Aloni, said that Chris wanted to offer it to us first, out of respect for the relationship."

In Hollywood, respect for the relationship is a two-way street, especially when the filmmaker has just directed one of the top-grossing films of all time. Robinov and Warners chief Alan Horn immediately read Nolan's script and met with the filmmaker. "We asked a lot of questions and he had answers for all of them," says Robinov. "We wanted to know whether people would be able to understand where they were--in terms of the different subconscious levels and dream states. But Chris knew exactly where he was going, narratively and digitally. We agreed on a budget and Alan greenlit the movie right there in the room."

I've never actually heard old Armond talk before. Does he try to show off how intelligent he is by uttering huge words every 2 seconds in real life?
 
I wonder what other projects he was given.

I also like this quote a lot:

"But he is so compelling and so good in a room that we were willing to bet on him making 'Batman Begins' at a time when all he had made was 'Memento' and 'Insomnia.' And you could argue that we took an even bigger risk of betting on him with 'Batman Begins,' since we had so much riding on that film, which was an effort to reboot one of our biggest brands.

Hell yeah Nolan.

I wish I could have been at Warner Bros. when Nolan said that him and Goyer have an idea for Superman.
