Inception's Plot From Scrooge McDuck?

Uncle Scrooge’s The Dream Of A Lifetime! is a two part 26-page comic book published back in May '04. The whole thing is online here for freezo niggas. A /film reader found this out and let them know about it. I hate anything baring any kind of resemblance to my work. I might jump off a bridge if this happened to me, or just laugh about it. Idk, maybe both.


Hmm... Any thoughts on this most uncanny comic book adventure?

Munki out.

College Humor Rips Apart 'Inception' In Minutes

Via /Film from College Humor, the next vid to lampoon a movie off their site is out. But Inception? I guess bashing Nolan's plot clarity all started with The Dark Knight, when people claimed to see plot holes in the script, people like this guy were pretty fed up with TDK being hailed for a best pic nom. (BTW, Texas first semester I found that script with a few buddies and we all laughed til we peed the entire time we read the thing) Despite how amazing the film was and how much shit entered their pants during their wonderful theater experience, people were sour?

Well, we come full circle to Nolan again now with his follow up and ten-year-old script, Inception. Idk, yeah it's sort funny, but are we to believe these guys have actually ripped out the entire foundation of the film from one plot point to the next? I'm not exactly here to say, but they try very hard to sway you from thinking this film has any artistic merit at all. That's a shame. 

BTW, this is chalk-full of spoilers.



Yeah... Whatev. Made their points.

Munki out.

A Review: Inception

As I walked out of the theater last night, I heard many things released from the mouths of the bustling crowd. Things like:
  • "Oh my fuck that was amazing." 
  • "That was the most epic movie I've ever seen." 
  • The plain old, "Wow dude..." 
  • I even heard someone say, "Jesus lord almighty that was damn crazy son."
Everybody was spritely and alive, charged and stupefied. The crowd was literally awing out loud in the theater during this. In the car, a friend told me that this film was the answer to the not only the weak summer slate, but the lack of good films lately period. I'm very inclined to agree with him.

In this film, this most intricate and wondrous film, dreaming is a reality, and reality is a dream, is reality, is a dream... Is reality. In this film, this most methodical, most perplexing and truly spellbinding film, dreams attack dreams attack dreams attack dreams attack people attacking dreams attacking reality attacking subconscious attacking dreams attacking people attacking subconscious attacking reality attacking dreams attacking people attacking reality attacking subconscious... And then you wake up. Or wait...?

After The Dark Knight, there was hurried talk in the town of Tinsel with concern in it's voice. The thought had occurred to everyone, "How can Christopher Nolan top this?"  The answer: you make Inception.
