Don't wear low cut dresses with you tits hanging out if you don't want me looking at them.

Don't you know anything about women? They don't wear revealing clothing so men can ogle at them; they wear revealing clothing to make other women jealous.

Wow, that was...lame. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Marion is "game" for some silly stuff but damn!

That said, i could kiss that face all day long....

Where's the "blow job" strip? I think someone posted it in Other.

This one?

yep

That's good, but the flying the kids in to France one is better.

1. Following
2. The Prestige
3. The Dark Knight
4. Inception
5. Batman Begins

i haven't seen the rest. Btw, i only liked no.1 and 2.

You never fail to make me laugh!

I still need to see Following but after my second viewing of Inception, my ranking is as follows:

1. Inception
1. The Prestige
2. Batman Begins
3. Insomnia
4. The Dark Knight
5. Memento

Inception and The Prestige are tied thus far for me. Love them both.

I'll need to watch Inception again before being able to list it against his other movies. As of now, The Prestige is my favorite by far. I never get tired of watching that one. I think Inception will end up falling into 2nd place, above TDK.

Did this one get posted yet? Inception being a ripoff of a Scrooge McDuck comic.

EDIT: Oh yeah I see Bret L did. I am surprised I havent seen that more places.

He was in on it. In fact, Cobb mentions that Michael Caine's character made Cobb promise Ariadne wouldn't go in the dreamscape with them. Cobb mentions this when Ariadne insists on going with them (after the memory elevator scene). Given the kids' grandmother didn't really care much for Cobb (given her tone over the phone and how she hung up on him), I'm guessing Michael Caine went to the US to greet Cobb at the airport (cos the grandmother sure as hell wasn't going to do it).

What? Seriously? Where is that posted?

Well here it is again for those who missed it the first time. I didn't want to get flamed for re-posting!

That's hilarious though technically that comic would be a ripoff of Dreamscape.

I could see that except for the inherent contradictions that theory contains. Caine explicitly told Cobb not to use his young student in the dreamscape because of it's extreme danger. Cobb went ahead and used her anyway. Then Caine shows up at the airport smiling and welcoming Cobb to his future? That seems a little unlikely. Not to mention the airport arrival was the most "dreamlike" aspect of the entire film. Notice how all of the main characters were looking at Cobb from a slightly elevated position (at least that is my recollection of the end) while welcoming him to his destination. It seemed like a very dodgy version of reality if that was what was intended. I don't think it was reality at the end at all, but that's just me.

Saw it again in IMAX the other night. Love it even more now, and more convinced that it's all a dream.

Reading that Scrooge McDuck story now. Only three pages in so far, but wow, Nolan might have some splaining to do. Edit to add: Dreamscape eh? Been meaning to see that for what, 30 years now....

Assuming the airport sequence was reality, Caine's character wouldn't have any way of knowing that Ariadne went into the dreamscape unless he had some way of monitoring what happened on the plane.

Nolan wrote his first treatment for the film after completing Insomnia, so sometime in 2002.

Meanwhile, the Scrooge McDuck story was first published in Norway in December of 2002, in Norwegian. The first publication in English was in the US in 2004, several years after Nolan's first treatment.

It's not like the idea of entering other people's dreams is anything new. Even the movie The Cell (2000) dealt with entering someone else's dream world in order to get information. However, the concept of entering someone's dream to implant an idea is unique to Inception.

Yeah I know.

I thought she wasn't going on the flight at all, and was added at the last minute.

Either way, Caine's character wouldn't know Ariadne was even on the plane when he went to meet Cobb.

Good to know. And while some of the "evidence" looks incendiary at first, like the falling in the dream being a kick to wake up, or real world things affecting the dream environment, those are really just known facts about dreams and common in many dream stories.

Wasn't Caine at the airport when they got through customs? Ariadne was there then so it was pretty clear she was on the plane. His smiling welcome combined with the similar smiled welcomes of all his travelling companions was suggestive to me that it was a different kind of "arrival" which Cobb was undertaking.

BTW the biggest clues to it all being a dream (perhaps minus the very final scene) are;

1) The evil but faceless corporation which is trying to kill him (for no discernible reason)
2) The way the walls narrow to a space where he can only just fit (in the nick of time) to escape his pursuers - very dreamlike that particular detail
3) The inability of his pursuers to shoot him even when it's pretty much point-blank with automatics (though I'll admit that is often a lazy movie cliche)
4) The apparently false memory of his wife's suicide where he waves at her to get back in her room but he is waving the wrong way. In essence he is beckoning her on to her death.
5) The nature of the final level being entirely populated with Cobb's recollections. I don't see any way two seperate people could occupy that same space unless they found a way of travelling there together into another person's mind.

You know who could have slipped right through that space?

He failed on a job for them (getting information from Saito's dream). They apparently don't accept failure.

Again, I read it as him beckoning her inside, not across the gap.

Isn't that last bit an explanation of the concept behind the whole movie (one or more people travelling into another person's mind)?

Also, Limbo was explained within the movie as having whatever was built by someone in the shared dream who had been there before.
