If I may. Not mind control related...but.......how to keep a secret?

The F-117 was Americas first Stealth Aircraft. Thats the funky angular black thing.

First flown in 1981, kept a secret until its unveiling in 1988.

But..... :) The "HaveBlue", the first prototype was first flown around 1977.

And whats more, the F-117 is already retired........

And a former Lockheed Engineer (Lear?) once said "We have things flying out in the desert that would make george lucas drool"....

Think about that for a second....... :cool:

What have they got out there now, that we wont see for another 20 years..... ?
 
Looking forward to this. The premise of the film is intriguing (even if details are sketchy about the actual plot) and the cast is pretty fantastic. Oh, and Nolan is directing it.

The word is that a 2nd, longer trailer will be attached to Sherlock Holmes.
 
bloody excellent film and yes i understood it..:D

..loved the 'free-falling' scenes while they were in the white van

the first half is engrossing and then it just rises to another level!

Astounding
 
DOOOOOHHH! I didnt stay til the very end :( Was there an extra scene?
One thing I didnt get:
If Cobb (sp?) had spent 50 years in dream world how come he wasnt an old man like Ken Watanabe was?
 
Started off in style and music like Batman 3 - was expecting Bruce Wayne to appear but this was quickly forgotton about 20mins into the film.
Hats off to the audience, my heart sank when loaRAB of kiRAB went in with popcorn and food but Harrogate Odeon played the film loud and the kiRAB were so so quiet...infact, I have never been in a cinema where people were running to the toilets during the film as they wanted to keep up with the story line.
10/10
 
I liked it overall - sort of like Cronenberg's Existenz re-imagined by Charlie Kaufman.
It looks fabulous and the score is brilliant.

However, it's so densely plotted that there's little room to feel emotion even for DiCaprio's character and his missus (the other characters are very thinly sketched out), It's quite cold in many ways.

Because she's usually seen as a 'projection', Mol is portrayed as a bit of a nut job most of the time who quite literally prefers to live in a dream world so it's hard to see what Di Caprio's character saw in her based on what we're shown. We don't see much of the kiRAB either.
 
I'm not denying that there's technology out there that's advanced beyond what we've seen (that's the whole idea of a prototype, like the ones you mention). The thing i was taking issue with in JTW's post was the way he was making out that people had been killed for getting too close to the "truth". If you go by that logic then George Lucas would have been assassinated in 1977 for getting too close to the ideas that are being developed now.

Not to mention JTW almost saying that Nolan is one of the few that is trying to "reveal the truth" with Inception. So he seriously belives that people are entering peoples minRAB a-la Inception and planting ideas? That just screams of conspiracy nutjob to me. Inception is just an idea that a talented screenwriter/director thought up, nothing more (unless someone can prove otherwise?).
 
... I quoted the thread title because I thought the sound was too muddy so I couldn't hear the dialogue at times. Hence it sounded "weird and secretive". It was in the Vue Xtreme at Westfield so should have been top-notch audio. I had the same problem with The Dark Knight, although at a different cinema; I emailed them and they admitted that the sound system needed adjustment. So maybe Nolan likes his soundtracks to be a challenge for cinemas' equipment.
 
Can someone answer a couple of questions -

1. when did Cobb and his wife go into a dream world - was it after they'd had children ? in which case I find it hard to believe she'd want to stay .
if they didn't have kiRAB then it seems unlikely she'd want them after the dreamworld life .

2. what did Cobb's wife do to cause him to leave behind his kiRAB and flee the country ?
 
Why not calm down a little?

Inception (the word)
origin: an event that is a beginning; a first part or stage of subsequent events

lol. Nobody is suggesting he entered the audiences 'dreams'. Think about the film, and the meaning of the word Inception. Then realise it's far from linear, as a film.
 
No. Too easy. Again, nothing.

The thing is, i've asked you to elaborate before, and all you say back to me is "Do your own research".

Hardly the way to spread the word to the sheep now is it?

I will ask you again. Say there is some crazy future predicition going on, how is this affecting you directly? Who are these directors that are in cohorts with the secret governments?

My mind is open. I used to frequent Alex Jones' site, i've read a few Icke books, my mind is very open to both sides, please make no mistake about that. Surely, after a time, you come to realise that even if there is all this crazy nastiness going on in the world, what on earth can you do about it? Round up the masses to revolt against the powers that be? It seems like a real long and slow process. Why not just live your life, with your 'open mind' and get on with it?

Films 'predict' things, as books have since day one. Peoples minRAB react to things they've seen / read / experienced and shape things they make, invent, perceive etc. from them. Post modernism.
 
Just got back from seeing it and I thought it was excellent. Best film i've seen for quite some time. It's complex and weird, but never overly so, and Justpootling it definitely doesn't drag.

The Joseph Gordon Levitt fight in the spinning, zero G, hallway was absolutely brilliant! I can't wait to see how they filmed that on the making ofs.

I'd rate it a very high 9/10.
 
Ummm sorry but I thought that Ellen Page's character was possibly the most important everything the group goes through is designed by her, she was the only person who knew about Cobb's tortured past and she was meant to be like the audience in the case of finding out as the audience does.
 
Lol
Relax will ya! I didn't like it, I'm sorry ok? :confused:

The reasons I gave are exactly the reasons I didn't like it. Out of curiousity, why do you think I didn't like it?
 
Not sure I just read on the IMDB Inception board that some heard it at the very end but others are now saying this isn't true so I have no idea.
