First Thoughts on INCEPTION

Jett Loe
We’ll be reviewing INCEPTION on episode 137 – in the meantime here’s some early observations, (spoiler free of course):
- Best big-budget remake of DREAMSCAPE one could hope for
- If you’re an average 14-year old US male it will be the greatest film you have ever seen
- Outside of that demographic? Eh, not so much
- Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a star
- Comparisons to Kubrick? (people have been doing it Dear Reader) INCEPTION is as close to Kubrick as GET HIM TO THE GREEK is when Aldous Snow cries out during a chase scene that the long corridors they’re running down in are “Kubrickian”
- Christopher Nolan does architecture as well as Michael Mann
- Go in with moderate expectations and you’ll have a good time, (assuming you don’t mind gun battles that go on forever)

I'm almost positive I saw you at this event, Jett. Did you see it Monday night?
I thought it was fantastic. Although, in my defense, I'm 12 years old.
Ya should have come over and said hi!

Wait, DiCaprio is in a movie in which he plays a fugitive who creates a world in his head so he doesn't have to deal with the death of his wife and fate of his kids, which he is partly responsible for?
hmm… sounds familiar….
Does his dead wife appear to him in an illusion/dream state?
Does he wear a suit and carry a gun? Have a charismatic brunette right hand man played by a better actor? Does it have a twist ending?
…. Shutter island? :)
ha! that's gonna get a quote on tomorrow's show!
