Finally, we get some details on the highly anticipated summer film Inception, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Cillian Murphy, Ellen Page, and Marion Cotillard. The Warner Brothers synopsis:

Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan directs an international cast in an original sci-fi actioner that travels around the globe and into the intimate and infinite world of dreams. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming. This summer, your mind is the scene of the crime.

Hmm…so this nifty ability has forfeited Cobb all that he loves and yet, somehow if he works it in reverse he’s going to get back everything? Maybe he’s also going to plant some ideas in the mind of the lost love of his life, because you just know he lost the love of his life. Guys in this sort of situation always do. Whatever happens, I can guarantee my booty will be firmly planted on a theater seat the moment this reel starts rolling.

Iron Man 2 disappointed me so far in this blockbuster wave, hopefully this will keep it on the track.

And here I was thinking this post was about PajiBacon'10

So it's Dreamscape except without the 80s cheese and with one of the best directors around? Considering the ridiculous number of times I've watched and enjoyed Dreamscape, that's good news.

PajiBacon is the tastiest of the tasty pork meats.

I will see this film, even if there is no Snake man in it. I will, however, miss the Snake man.

Also, the title of the article made me think I was going to hear about HBO creating a new Brian Benben vehicle showcasing Martin Tupper in prison. They were going to receive extra points if that prison happened to be Oswald State Correctional Facility.

I'm pretty sure I already know exactly what happens in this movie, but I'll see it anyway. Everything about it looks good.

"Dom"?

Sounds awesome! Cannot WAIT to see this now.

But I do have one tiny, almost negligible reservation about this. While Nolan is my favorite living mainstream director and I have yet seen a bad film by him (though I have yet to see his feature debut, Following), I think his best works (subjectively speaking, of course) were co-written by his brother, Jonathan; i.e. Dark Knight, Memento and The Prestige. He wrote this one solo...still, again, no bad films yet. And, still haven't seen Following. Still got super-high hopes.

Ooh, Following is on Netflix Instant...

I can't wait to see Cillian in this! Squee!

Things that are exciting in life:
(a list by esme, who is very very bored)
1. There's time to be bored -- papers are done!
2. Seeing Iron Man 2 tomorrow (wearing extra panty liners, of course).
3. THIS MOVIE.
4. My boobs look awesome today.
5. Returning library books. The only thing better than checking out library books and getting that clean, slightly musty book smell is returning them and clearing your floor. I'm spacing it out -- I have too many library books right now to fit them all into my backpack, so I'm making trips. So double the satisfaction!

i would TOTALLY let cindy have some of my popcorn if she would just take me to see this.

(but not my reese's pieces)

Posted by: gp at May 6, 2010 7:48 PM

Mmmmm...PajiBacon...

Hopefully as good as PajibaHouse steak, or Veal ScalloJiba...

I will also be EXTREMELY excited to see Watanabe-san again, I would follow him and Hiroyuki Sanada into battle against the armies of Hell weilding only a garden rake and a grimace.

(Hidden Fortress tonight anyone? I'm in the mood for Mifune!)

Me: and I have yet seen a bad film by him

Ugh, "and I have yet to see a bad film by him." Never post when sleepy and/or too lazy to think to one's greatest capacity.

Posted by: vic at May 6, 2010 9:14 PM

Sofi, I think that's what we should call it.

gp, I'll go with you and we'll each have our OWN popcorn, 'cause that's how I do it. Popcorn is not for sharing! Unless I get sick of it, then you can have my leftovers.

Posted by: Cindy at May 6, 2010 10:03 PM

that's cornophobic!

Posted by: gp at May 6, 2010 11:39 PM

No, it's greed and stinginess.

when the mind is at its most vulnerable.

I thought that was at the moment of orgasm. Now THAT would be an interesting movie.

laredo,

Martin Tupper goes to prison for pulling ass that is waaaaay out of his league (i.e. the women file a class action rape suit to avoid acknowledging having sex with a hatchet-faced midget). While in prison, he can happen upon old television characters turned bad, therefore resurrecting some awesome acting careers. My first guest? Kevin Arnold. Winnie cheated on him with Paul Pfeiffer. Kevin bought a gun. Bang. Bang. Gavel smack.

"I thought that was at the moment of orgasm. Now THAT would be an interesting movie."

Methinks Gilbert Grape doesn't need to invade THAT many people's minds to plant an orgasm...

The banner pic is confusing me; is that a picture of a constructed set or is it a locale in the film?
