Mindcrime: Oh the possibilities
To say the I enjoyed Inception would be a gross insult to the word enjoyed. Critics have largely hailed it, and only good adjectives pop into my mind. Namely: awesome. If you haven’t seen the movie, drop what you’re doing, walk out of your office, leave that pot on the stove, abandon your little league game, put down the gun, get dressed and go see it.
The movie imposes a level of tension that isn’t quite panic, but suspense enough to make you truly not want to take a bathroom break. Layers upon layers of complexity will confuse a few mainstream dullards, but the genius of the plot was enough to make me almost have a primal need to watch it again to clarify a few points. That, and it truly is a visual masterpiece that proves beyond any doubt that 3D is both unnecessary and unwanted.
Inceptionassumes that in the apparently very very near future (or present for that matter), there exists a way for people to manipulate someone’s dreamscape in order to steal information (of course, created by the army). The protagonist is given the previously impossible task of not stealing, but planting an idea.
“What’s the most resilient parasite? An Idea. A single idea from the human mind can build cities. An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules”
In the spirit of this, lets assume that inception is possible. Furthermore, let us suppose that I am the one supplanting ideas. Here are a few top priorities:
Nicholas Cage: My hair is truly terrible.
Gandalf as he leaves Rivendell: Moria is a bad idea.
Kristen Bell: I am madly in love with Nick Bender
Kim Jong Ill: This ‘mess with the South’ business is tiring…
Seth Rogan: I should stop eating cupcakes… and making movies.
Kate Gosselin: I should stop making babies.
Either of the Wayons Brothers: My work has never been funny.
Rod Blagojevich: I should confess and get this over with.
Glenn Beck: I’m a terrible human being, and need to stop. Everything.
Any teen girl in America: Team Edward will fail.
Steve Jobs: I should eat… anything…
Lindsay Lohan: I actually do deserve this.
Kermit: I really could do better.
Julius Caesar: I should stay out of Rome… indefinitely.
City of Oakland: No one’s fooled anymore, we might as well drop the “medical” stipulation.
Arthas Menethil: On second thought, that sword looks like bad news.
Nick Bender: Go to sleep already.
Kristen Bell: I actually do seriously love Nick Bender
Kermit is perfection and I will argue anyone willing to deny it. haha nice list…and inception was the the underlying part of this blog.
