Inception teaser trailer, you guys:
“Whoa, I know Kung Fu.”
–Leonardo DiCaprio
Clearly, there is no spoon, you guys. But also this trailer doesn’t really say much about what happens in the movie. It’s a crime that takes place within the architecture of the mind? OK. I do like that ‘architecture of the mind’ turns out to literally mean architecture. Like buildings. “The crime is in the skyscrapers of your mind.” Sure. But if they’re not going to tell us what this movie is about, we are going to have to make it up. I love making it up! SO, Inception is about a man named Brian (get it? SPOOKY ANAGRAMS!) who is a special agent for the CIA’s Mind Crimes Division who has to go deeper into his own mind than he ever tried before, via Mind Helicopter, to investigate the murder of a Mind Hotel Concierge. But then he wakes up and it had all just been a Dream Crime.

So is this like that other movie he’s in, Shutter Island? Where he’s actually the patient that’s in the asylum the whole time? That book sucked.
isn’t there a magical IP-address-blocker-thing?
sometimes you say normal things that are informative or helpful or at least contributing to the conversation. and then other times you’re like this, just a big old bummer. i’m all about giving people the benefit of the doubt but you are testing my patience, man.
also, the preview of that movie made it pretty obvious that that was the twist, so i’m not going to get too mad at your spoiler, but it’s a lame, mean-spirited thing to do and everyone thinks so, even god.
“spoilers stink.” – god
Did you know that 2% of all newlyweds met each other of eHarmony.com! Now, Australians can use it, too.
*on
Did your account get hacked by an ad, Godsauce, or is this a joke I don’t get?
It’s a joke that no one will ever get, because it wasn’t funny.
Was it ABOUT THOSE fuckin ADS in front of THE trailer? Because THAT’S WHAT I thought, and I LAUGHED.
Yes! It was!
the odd thing is i live in australia and i didn’t even get that advertisement- i got some random ad about online music downloading that involved a crocodile…
even the internet doesn’t want me to meet somebody!
I thought it was funny. IP jokes are hard to land.
Australians are like “Where’s the caar?” and we’re like “Where’s the car?”
I love how Australians drop the r’s at the end of words that have them and add r’s when they’re not there. So my Aussie GF would say, “Let’s droive the caah daown to Floridurr for holiday.” Which is probably how Florida should be pronounced, anyway.
They claim to be able to match you with someone with a similar sense of humour. I’m willing to bet that there’s nothing in that survey about fart jokes.
The Matrix / The Dark Knight + Leo DiCaprio x Blade Runner = ?
If we LOOK AT the ACTUAL values OF THOSE variables WE FIND THEY are FUCKINGMEGAAWESOME, so I think the FINAL VALUE of this EQUATION while BE YOUR face doing THIS
FROM ALL that damn AWESOME.
(I’m not saying ANYONE HERE is Hitler BTW)
WOLFENSTEIN!!! Thanks, An American Patriot, that rekindled a healthy dose of nostalgic longing to my simple, prepubescent gaming days, wasting hours on my 486 pc.
Damn I’m old.
Not to be that guy but that’s clearly the end of Bionic Commando on NES (even older than you probs, mine was a 386).
Darn, you’re right – upvote for you, Sir. I clearly had my Nazi-fighting computer games from ages ago mixed up.
Bidness is a-boomin’!
i’m feeling like it’s more the matrix + dark city.
just saying.
I don’t want to be the douche arguing about this movie I’ve never seen, but everywhere I’ve seen this trailer, I’ve heard the Matrix-ripoff thing. Honestly, it’s looks like they’re falling in those scenes, not fly-fighting or whatever. But yeah, this trailer doesn’t show much at all. I can’t decide if I like that, though. While I hate trailers that feel like they give away too much (Funny People) and I know it’s a teaser, I wish it could at least divulge a little more of the plot.
I trust Christopher Nolan, though. I haven’t seen something of his I’ve disliked yet, so I’m hoping this will somehow be cerebral and escape the deja-vu trappings of other films this teaser suggests.
I agree with you; Nolan is a solid if not underrated Director. He should deliver.
However, my guess for the overall plot is Johnny Mnemonic + Minority Report + The Cell.
Dicaprio is going to Mind Break into your Mind Files. And then take off in his Mind Helicopter.
Actually, I think the Matrix comparison has at least as much to do with the idea of a photo-realistic alternate reality that takes place within the protagonist’s mind. Plus or minus realistic laws of physics.
Okay, fair. i suppose where I’m coming from is that the knee-jerk reaction is from the whole fighting thing. So way to see it on another level! And really, if this is basically like the Matrix minus all the fetishes, I’m totally on board.
remember how good memento was?
spoiler alert: it was really good.
That’s the one movie of his I haven’t seen! It’s okay, though, as I have it on Netflix right now and will probably watch it tonight. Thanks for the spoilers!
oh. em. gee.
bro.
okay, i don’t want to hype it too much, because that’s not fair and can lead to disappointment, but DUDE. DUDE! dude.
let me know what you think when you see it. i’d be interested to hear.
Boom goes the mindomite, and down come the skyscrapers, apparently.
Poseiden Adventure Reloaded.
This is clearly the video form of the angst that I feel when i can’t get my facebook inbox to load properly.
I think this movie is about a guy who thought he was the king of the world until his partner called him on her hamburger phone and reminded him that his ex-girlfriend fucks Tom Brady every night (FACT.).
Kuhdooz on the Dark City reference. I was grateful to see the word Inception at the end of the trailer the other night. I thought it was going to be a Dark City remake.
Dark CITY IS fucking GREAT. More people SHOULD KNOW about IT’S awesomeness.
*ITS awesomeness. I am upholding your honor by correcting your grammar!
darnit, i was hoping for one last drum/thunderclap noise at the end! #darnit
All right, you guys! Where did you put the log in link at the top of the page!? I couldn’t log in last week and now I can’t do it this week too. I recently moved and have a different internet provider, I feel that might be the matter. I’ve missed out on a lot with you guys, and I want to connect again.
I think it’s just an Internet Explorer problem, download firefox if you can.
If the crime is in Leo’s mind, do the mind criminals speak with a bad British accent?
did they not already make this movie, except with j.lo instead? and it was called the cell? and it was ridiculous? sort of like this trailer?
Excuse me if I’m picking some nits here, but where did this “architecture of the mind” line that you’re talking about come from? The trailer says “Your mind is the scene of the crime,” so I’m confused about your criticism? Is the “architecture” tagline used elsewhere?
Sorry, yeah, it’s the one-line description on the Yahoo page where I got the trailer. I guess I just internalized it:
http://video.yahoo.com/watch/5806716/15196822
Regardless of how kind-of-derivative this trailer looks, it could have ended at ‘From Christopher Nolan’ and I would have been sold.
From the architecture of the mind of Christopher Nolan…
What the fuck is this?
This is supposed to be in reply to An American Patriot. I did put it there, but now it’s gone. Weird.
BAWOOOOAAAAOOOO: The Movie
At this point, this movie looks like more of a “game-changer” than Avatar.
Way to waste 12 years, Cameron.
TALK ABOUT A TRAILER THAT GIVES TOO MUCH AWAY, AMIRIGHT?!?!
Whatever it’s about, Nolan hasn’t made a bad film yet, so you can pretty much guarantee it’s gonna be great. It looks like some pretty freaky shit, like his first short Doodlebug.
Hey, when did a TEASER trailer ever tell us anything about a movie? 99% of the time we get a title flying at us, no images from the film whatsoever.
BTW. The Inception trailer was better than a normal teaser.
I refuse to speak badly of anything involving Marion Cotillard. Sorry.
Maybe she’s not so bulletproof: she believes the 911 attacks were an “inside job.”
“Speaking on the cinema discussion programme Paris Dernière in February 2007, Cotillard had said: “I think we’re lied to about a number of things”, even claiming the Americans had destroyed the Twin Towers themselves because the were an outdated “money sucker”.
Expanding her conspiracy theory, Cotillard said it would been “a lot more expensive” to rebuild the towers “which is why they were destroyed”, with the loss of thousands of American lives.

I love it when movies are billed as “From X (director)”. It always makes me feel like the whole film was inside Christopher Nolan somewhere and he just barfed it out one day.
Looks like Christopher Nolan at his most self-indulgent. I love it. Great trailer.
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING
