Inception Teaser Trailer

I Haven't Been Mind F**ked Like This Since Grade School

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Trailers | Comments (58)

Let me tell you what’s so awesome about the teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan’s follow-up to The Dark Knight, Inception: I have no fucking idea what it’s about, and I cannot fucking wait to see it. All I know is that it’s a sci-fi thriller that takes places inside the architecture of the mind. That’s all I know. That’s all I need to know. And this trailer is all I need to see to sell me on it.

Me want. Gimmegimmegimmegimme.

If that’s not enough goods for you, let me also tell you the cast: Leonardio DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard as his wife; Ellen Page as a young college grad student; Joseph Gordon-Levitt, an associate working for DiCaprio; Ken Watanabe as the villain; Tom Hardy as a member of DiCaprio’s team; Cillian Murphy and Michael Caine. Boom.

Sorry.....if this wets your appetite you must be a Nolan fanboy.

His take on the dark night was a traversty of overblon nonsense - the bathbike - please!!!!!!!!!!!! omg!

He is an stupid enlishman who does not now what is to be the Batman - really, lol!

This looks like stupid stuff, and the cast omg!

Leo de caprio - overated
Mikeal Caine - old

No doubt it will apeal to all thos who thought dark night was da bomb! it wasent, it was boring.

Ah the bathbike, allowing The Batman to arrive squeaky clean to all crime scenes.

Like I need to say anything positive about a Christopher Nolan movie. Like that's not entirely redundant.

Here's a turtle with furniture casters instead of front legs:

I watched it three times yesterday. Appetite whetted.

kingsize, I really hope you aren't basing your entire opinion of Christopher Nolan upon one movie.

Posted by: Cindy at August 25, 2009 10:28 AM

74 words. 12 misspellings. That might be a record. I didn't include the lols and omgs, though. And don't get me started on the grammar.

Kingsize, I'd be more inclined to give your comments consideration if you weren't, you know, an idiot.

I don't remember my pants being this tight when I put them on this morning.

Come on Carrie, you know Christian Bale in the bathbike would have upped the take of the Dark Knight by at least 20 mill.

Some of you may have trouble reading that comment. Allow me to translate into English.

Oh.my,god. the turtle link? SO FUCKING CUTE.

Posted by: buttercup at August 25, 2009 10:38 AM

Wow Kingsize...your intellect is only outweighed by your spelling. Let me help you out a little here...this is Pajiba.com, not YouTube. Please check your spelling, grammar (somewhat, jumbled rants are ok), and idiocy at the door.

As for being a Nolan fanboy, it sure as hell beats being a Bay fanboy. At least Nolan knows how to get from point A to point B in a story, and knows how to mix in the splodey stuff with the thinking stuff. Go back and watch Dark Knight without a room of your frat buddies, and tell me it isn't true.

I feel asleep during the Dark Knight. I did, however, mange to stay awake for Insomnia.

I also noticed my father has two copies of Memento. He forgot he bought the first one.

Posted by: TSF at August 25, 2009 10:39 AM

And I ruin it all by writing feel instead of fell.

Cruel, cruel world.

Posted by: TSF at August 25, 2009 10:40 AM

Not that I'm trying to defend the special kind of crazy that kingsize brings to the table, but that trailer was kinda "meh". Once I better understand the movie (so I'm not left thinking "Oh, it's like the Matrix crossed with The Departed"), then I'll get excited...

Sorry but the second and third Matrix movies so made me angry that I will reject out-of-hand, any movie that kinda looks like them >:-|

I take it you thought 2 and a half hours was too long for a movie, maybe you can use the time you save not watching masterpieces to learn how to spell.

Suck on our collective nutsacks and ovaries, kingsize, you stupid fuck.

Posted by: George at August 25, 2009 11:03 AM

Wow Kingsize, I thought I was horrible at grammar. That hurt my eyes to read.

Skewicide Blonde you cracked me the fuck up...and I just woke up...that takes talent.

Posted by: Deistbrawler at August 25, 2009 11:04 AM

Ok, so I'm really excited about this movie. Love Nolan, love JGL, love Leo - but the phrase 'architecture of the mind' is really starting to piss me off.

Just like right before 2000, when every other word was 'Millenium'.

Fuck Robbie Williams.

Ok, that went a little off topic.

Posted by: groovekiller at August 25, 2009 11:07 AM

Willenium was my favorite.

But yes, a digression.

Posted by: TSF at August 25, 2009 11:23 AM

I hate that shit on DiCaprio's face. It's hard to look at.

Otherwise, who knows? Looks nice, at least.

Posted by: Jay at August 25, 2009 11:26 AM

How come the Asian guy's the villain?

(Have not watched the trailer yet but this was the first thing that came to mind.)

Posted by: dene at August 25, 2009 11:30 AM

I think that Kingsize makes some astute observations. When I watched The Dark Knight for the first time, I turned to my friend Jodie and LOL'd for 10 minutes. I also LMAOROTFLAGALDATSOCBDB. That's "laughed my ass off, rolled on the floor laughing, and got a little damp at the sight of Christian Bale's delicious biceps."

Posted by: Julie at August 25, 2009 11:33 AM

Are any other ladies out there conflicted as to the relative attractiveness of Mr.DiCaprio? Like, I think he's attractive, but I'm not always sure. There's something vaguely rat like about his face sometimes that makes me think I should reevaluate my opinion. Whatever, I'm not conflicted about the hotness of Joseph Gordon-Levitt or Cillian Murphy so I'll probably show up.

Also, after that Bronson trailer I swear it took me like two days to realize I recognized Tom Hardy because he was Handsome Bob. Boy beefed up.

I'm feeling shallow today.

Posted by: Rusty (formerly Genny) at August 25, 2009 11:34 AM

The Dark Knight was easily the worst Christopher Nolan movie I've ever seen. It's not hard to get from point A to point B when the storyline is that predictable. It's kind of like finding your way out of a paper bag, if the paper bag was an incredibly hokey sequence aboard two ferries.

But I'd totally see this movie.

Posted by: The Wandering Parakeet at August 25, 2009 11:41 AM

If people can shit on The Dark Knight like that, is there anything at all that quenches their burning cinematic desires?

Posted by: icecreammang at August 25, 2009 11:51 AM

Oh, this is like that old Ernie Kovacs skit from early 1950's TV, where he walks into a room and it's all slanted, and then the camera tilts to match the angle of the set, and the when he tries to pour water it goes off at a funny angle, etc. etc.

Hum, weird gravity in a hallway? I'm guessing that bit was filmed on the Vomit Comet airplane they use to train astronauts what it's like to be in zero gravity.

Posted by: BWeaves at August 25, 2009 11:53 AM

Sweet flopsack, kingsize. I'm hoping you're either inebriated as all get out or you've suffered a massive stroke in the How I Spell part of your brain. Jesus Moses, Wendel types more coherently than that, and he's a fucking tumor with basic motor functions. I've blacked out face-down on my keyboard and awoke to find something better written than that. Jeezum sacksquatch, I think you're looking for Aint It Cool News, brother - the only thing you were missing on that glorious rant of your was "frist bitchs!!!".

I'm sorry. That was uncalled for. The bathbike wasent most certainly not da bomb!

Posted by: Skitz at August 25, 2009 11:56 AM

It goes by pretty quickly, but I'm pretty certain I saw JGL wearing a waistcoat.

I'm in.

Posted by: Caspar at August 25, 2009 12:03 PM

Skitz- that might have been the funniest thing I have read in a while.

Kingsize- Obviously, you've either a) never read this site before or b) you are someone who's just fucking with everyone. Seriously if that was for real, use spellcheck and quit being such a ginormous jackass. It if it wasn't -- kudos to whoever wrote that.

Posted by: gIb at August 25, 2009 12:11 PM

Skitz, you just made me cry..in a good way

Posted by: dammitjanet at August 25, 2009 12:47 PM

Apologies to all concerned.

I'm afraid I was rather bored, and having witnessed similar postings of late on other sites, I gave into a passing sense of mischief.

I appreciate fully that such behaviour is frowned upon, and I feel quite soiled by the whole experience (although 'bathbike' did provide me with a Tarby-esque chuckle).

I can assure you that any such further fleeting urges shall be resisted with Herculean resolve 'till they be assuaged....

omg indeed.......

Posted by: kingsize at August 25, 2009 1:00 PM

Holy CHRIST at that cast. It made me all happy in the best of places. No one knows how to cast a movie better than Nolan. NO ONE. ho-leeee shit!

Posted by: figgy at August 25, 2009 1:12 PM

@kingsize

cool story, bro.

Posted by: chenry at August 25, 2009 1:12 PM

To be quite honest kingsize, a bathbike would be awesome...

Posted by: Skitz at August 25, 2009 1:16 PM

Well played, sir. I said--well played!

Posted by: gforcetwo at August 25, 2009 1:25 PM

Skewicide Blonde, I think I love you.

kingsize, that was glorious! Good form!

Posted by: Eyvi at August 25, 2009 1:33 PM

I saw this trailer in the theater and that booming soundtrack is very disconcerting at theater volume levels. I was sold on the movie just from that... it made me feel like something gigantic was hunting for me and getting closer...

Posted by: canology at August 25, 2009 1:34 PM

I'm disappointed, people! He went full retard and you bought it. You know better.

Posted by: Jay at August 25, 2009 1:52 PM

NEVER GO FULL RETARD!

Posted by: dammitjanet at August 25, 2009 2:19 PM

George In the future, when you want to smack a troll, please leave my ovaries off the table. They are not available to be sucked. Thank you.

Posted by: dawn at August 25, 2009 2:55 PM

Kingsize, you magnificent son of a bitch.

Let's make out.

Posted by: Skewicide Blonde at August 25, 2009 2:59 PM

Kingsize, you magnificent son of a bitch.

Let's make out.

Posted by: Skewicide Blonde at August 25, 2009 2:59 PM

My dear,

The offer is most graciously accepted.

Now where are my Martini glasses.......?

Posted by: kingsize at August 25, 2009 3:08 PM

I suspect Mobying or even Sock puppetry afoot. I don't buy Kingsize's magical evolution from spatial verbal flail into Kings English in 1 easy step.
Shenanigans, SHENANIGANS I SAY!

Words to live by dammitjanet.
Never go full retard, indeed.

Lindsey,

It was only a spot of fun.

Yours, dreaming of a bathbike,

Kingsize

Posted by: kingsize at August 25, 2009 4:04 PM

Interesting trailer...i may go see this. Loved the bit where the men were flying through the corridor.

Leonardo sure knows how to pick his projects.

Posted by: Neena at August 25, 2009 4:17 PM

I'm definitely in. Hans Zimmer's scores are perfect for trailers. I like what him and Nolan do together. I kind of understand the JGL hype now that I've seen 500 Days of Summer. While watching him in that I couldn't help but think he kind of looks like Heath Ledger. I don't know what it is, some sort of facial feature resemblance. But now that he is connected to Nolan I'm calling it right now. JGL will play the Joker if Nolan keeps the character around.

Posted by: Dave at August 25, 2009 4:20 PM

Kingsize, I can't decide which was funnier: your initial comment, the grammatical and cinematic pearl-clutching of the Pajibans, or your subsequent 'fessing up. At any rate, I thank you for enabling me to laugh for five minutes straight while I read all the comments and the dog looked at me in a judgy way.

Posted by: Suz at August 25, 2009 5:49 PM

Okay, dawn, in future instances of troll smacking, the ladies shall offer up their ass hair to be sucked, or, if you do not wish to have a troll forced to give them a rimjob, the ass hair of Larry the Cable Guy may be used in your place.

Yours, with love and care, George

Posted by: George at August 25, 2009 6:05 PM

Damned dogs, always being all judgy.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at August 25, 2009 7:15 PM

I think I want to go into this film having seen/read/heard as little about it as possible.

I'll see it based on the director and cast (Juno!) alone. That's all I need to be first in line on opening day.

Posted by: Daniel Hall at August 25, 2009 7:42 PM

The cast list alone made my pants go all funny. I'm in.

And Rusty, you are completely not alone in your conflict re DiCaprio. It's the eyes, I think. And a certain squirelly-ness to his chin. But I don't really know, dammit.

Posted by: redhead at August 25, 2009 7:51 PM

Never trust a fancy talker, I always say.

Posted by: Cindy at August 25, 2009 8:32 PM

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD

I'm completely aware that I just went crazy fan girl here but...

OH MY GOD.

I don't think there's a more appropriate response.

Posted by: DontStopNow at August 25, 2009 10:42 PM

I LOVE it when jaded asswipes come in and pour cold water all over everyone because THEY know what art REALLY is.

Posted by: Maryscott O'Connor at August 25, 2009 11:27 PM

Goddamn it, I just jizzed my boxer shorts and pants. Thanks a lot Nolan, thanks.

Posted by: PeevedMovieBuff at August 25, 2009 11:33 PM

Ok, I just looked at the IMDB page for this, and HOW CAN YOU NOT MENTION LUKAS HAAS? Lukas Haas is in it, for crying out loud! That just added roughly 62 more awesomeness points to the movie.

Posted by: little ya at August 26, 2009 12:57 AM

Funny thread. Oh and squeeee! I wanna see this now dammit!
