La Trailer Pour Chris Nolan’s Inception, Er… Cinema
Did I get that wrong? Le fuck off; my last French class was my sophomore year of high school, which was practically forever ago. Besides, the big deal is that Chris Nolan’s sci-fi thriller Inception finally has a trailer, although it is French and thus unintelligible to those who do not speak French. Still, it looks pretty good, and the sci-fi elements — mostly involving gravity appearing to freak the fuck out — are impressive while not overwhelming. Twitch called Inception the anti-Avatar, since it’s a sci-fi flick that’s seemingly designed to tell a story, and in which the effects exist to augment the storytelling. Sounds right to me — and a lot more interesting. When the U.S. version rolls around, I’ll post that, too.
