Inception....

[Mr. Analog]

oops, I guess there are some ... plot issues. http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1939332

Can we perhaps talk about them rather than linking videos please?

There's tons of problems with Inception, but I can overlook most of them and enjoy it for what it tried to be (an action Sci-Fi story concerning itself with the effects of direct mental control and multi-dimensional thinking and some existentialism thrown in for fun).

I have to say I like how they handled the layers, the same reason why I like how the story unfolds in "Chinatown" (though the latter is better at it than the former...)

I really loved the movie, honestly... just found it funny how the College Humor guys put this video together, didn't take away from my enjoyment, just reminded me it's in the end Just A Movie

Every few months I flip flop between "love it, the damn thing is brilliant" to "kinda hate it now, I feel so manipulated and really there isn't much unique or novel about that movie". The very fact that my opinion is not permanently set in stone = further proof of Christopher Nolan's genius, not everyone is capable of getting that deep into your brain with a film. Let alone a handful of them!


This video got me back on the "love it" side of the page.


Because guess what folks?

Apparently "Inception" was not actually about dreams ... dig deeper, perhaps it was REALLY about FILMS(!)

sound bite: "trying to discern if a character is in a dream in a medium itself that FUNCTIONS like a dream is, well, kind of a paradox"

I saw this and they even pointed out that the POSTER is ambiguous! Love it!

INCLUDING HOUSE OF CARDS! (for those of you who do not know why the "FU 2016" videos floating around are incredibly meta-awesome!)


*recommended: watch @ 1.5x speed, especially the Matrix and X-Men ones. Even Guardians Of Tee Galaxy, actually. Because all of these are pretty sour in tone (fan boys beware! )
