the pop culture slum

it's a strange, wondrous world we live in--videogames, movies, toys, fast food--more types of decadent trash than you can shake a stick at.

inception reception

Status report: Inception was one helluva movie. An intelligent summer blockbuster, another great notch on Christopher Nolan’s belt. I’d offer up something resembling an actual review, except I was too busy enjoying the hell out of this movie to take the mental notes I’d need to write something worthy of anyone’s time.

Anecdotaria: There were some hiccups during the midnight opening I attended. At one point, the film snapped, and we had to wait for them to fix it. I was very glad I didn’t take the time to go get concessions or go to the bathroom, as those that did take it as an intermission found themselves returning to a movie several minutes ahead of where they left it.

Let me say this: Inception isn’t so hard to keep up with, as, say, 4th dimensional calculus on the highway, but you will probably regret it if you take a moment or two at any time to stop paying attention.

More anecdoting however; someone also passed out during our showing.

One of the more interesting midnight openings I’ve been to.
