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.

Lucid Dreams

Posted by mistergroonk in Uncategorized on June 7, 2004

Revisiting the Waking Life movie has caused me to delve into the true meaning of Lucid Dreams.

I’ve lucid dreamed off and on all my life, but I never put a name to it before now.

When I was 10 years old, I started having these horrible dreams. I was constantly fighting some thing that was trying to kill me or take me over(a la bodysnatchers). It disturbed my sleep for weeks. One day I decided that I was gonna stop that noise. I decided to somehow take control during the dream and fight back.

If I’m remembering this correctly, I gave myself some kind of superpower in the dream. Some kind of flash bang thing. Whatever it was, I drove off the beastie and finally got a decent night’s sleep.

I never realized I was utiizing a lucid dreaming technique.

MedicMike got me on this trip down memory lane with a link to a website dedicated to the Waking Life movie.
