Watch: The Great Inception, Charlie Chaplin’s THE GREAT DICTATOR Speech Mixed with Hans Zimmer’s INCEPTION Score
Posted by mistergroonk in Intertube Madness, Just Freaking Neat, Music, Versus on May 29, 2011
What a lovely mix. If you have not seen Chaplin’s THE GREAT DICTATOR you would do well to get right on that. It’s really a wonderful film. Also, you will see where Mike Myers stole homaged the image of Dr Evil using the world as his plaything for his Austin Powers series.
That chap, Charlie Chaplin, had the idea in 1940.

You Tuber Unlocks Another Level of INCEPTION Cool: Hans Zimmer’s Easter Egg Score.
Posted by mistergroonk in Interviews, Just Freaking Neat, Movies, Music, On the French on July 27, 2010
It turns out the slow, rhythmic bass that occurs at key points in INCEPTION (named by another YouTuber as the “BWONG!” chord)has interesting origins.
You Tuber camiam321 ran an experiment and found:
He took Edith Piaf’s “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien†(which is used as a recurring motif in the film’s heist sequence), and slowed it down in Adobe Soundbooth by 300%. The result was a near exact match to the Zimmer theme.
Slightly spoiler-esque observations continue below the cut.

Yahoo Releases an INCEPTION Prologue Comic. Very Clever, Chris Nolan
Posted by mistergroonk in Comics, Digital Share, Marketing, Movies on July 14, 2010
As far as we can tell it began with The Matrix. Then a few years ago True Blood had one, too. Online comics introducing or set inside their movie/TV counterpart universe. We’re sure there have been others but those two are the first to come to mind.
Now the highly anticipated movie, INCEPTION, has a prologue comic that, to our eyes, leads directly in the upcoming movie. And it’s 19 pages of a damn good teaser. The art is beyond exceptional. The story gave us exactly what we needed before the movie release.
Currently INCEPTION has an 88% on Rotten Tomatoes. If that matters to you at all. It doesn’t for us. Unlike other directors, Nolan has proven(to us at least) to be consistently entertaining and intriguing filmmaker.
That’s a rare thing these days.

Tuesday Tease: Latest INCEPTION Trailer Explains Everything, And Everything Looks Damn Good
Posted by mistergroonk in Movies, One Sheets, Trailers on May 11, 2010
And INCEPTION turns out to be somewhat like we figured.
And we were very pleased with this.
What it is
Your dreams are the locked box and Leonardo DiCaprio is the criminal come to pick that box, rifle through everything you hold dear, and leave. You’ll never know he was even there.
At least, that’s our take on the trailer. Feel free to challenge this assumption.
What We Learned
Ideas are like parasites?
Can this be the same idea that, “a voice can just go somewhere… just hang out. Like a dirty thought in a nice clean mind. Maybe a thought is like a virus. It could kill all the healthy thoughts and take over. That would be serious.”
TALK HARD!!!
Why We’re Gonna Watch
Two reasons.
1) Mind-twisty goodness brought to you by the man who gave the world MEMENTO, THE PRESTIGE, andDARK KNIGHT.
2) A third act that remains secretive and is said will turn your brain into a tasty cruller.
We’d like to test reason number two. It really can’t be as obvious as the trailer leads us to believe.
When’s it coming?

Tuesday Tease: Chris Nolan Investigates Your Dreams, Releases INCEPTION Viral Video
Posted by mistergroonk in Marketing, Movies, One Sheets on April 27, 2010
In the following there is talk of Lucid Dreaming with just a hint of Psy Ops. Lucid dreaming is a subject with which we have strong affection. Psy Ops, well, research into that can lead to many a nightmare.
If this viral video for Chris Nolan’s INCEPTION is any indication, he’s looking to mix the two ideas into this much debated movie.
It looks like Nolan’s mixed real scientists with actors playing scientists in order to slow-build the anticipation for INCEPTION. This move is genius. Thankfully, because it’s Chris Nolan it doesn’t come off as half-assed as the efforts of THE FOURTH KIND turned out to be.
