So it's like Duplicity in dreams…kind of. Oh, and The Matrix.

A fourth dimensional James Bond? WTF? And more importantly, whoTF?

I also get a bit of "Paprika" in there.

quick! run every little bit and quote you can find on inception to prove yourself right!

Nah, Inception`s biggest secret is that Nolan and DiCaprio are the same person. Which is hardly a twist since you can tell just but looking at them.

so, you're complaining about the movie being spoiled, while helping to spoil the movie?

Of course they are going to spoil it. I can't think of a recent film that didn't have its basic plot "spoiled" in some way (plot twists are another matter entirely). You can't effectively market a film if you don't at least give people a general idea of what it is about. It would be great if you could sell a film based just on a string of amazing images, but unless it is something like Baraka or one of the -qatsi movies, you are going to have to tell people what they are in for.

Hey wow its fitting that this movie is about dreams cuz this shit looks likZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

devin is totally can bash this movie every chance he can get…not a kind word since its unveiling

"I hate Christopher Nolan for some reason." Just thought I'd save everyone some time.

Devin I'm one of the few people on your side about Avatar. I thought it was wretched (and unfortunately the only Cameron film I haven't enjoyed). But you consistently prove time and time again just what an arrogant, childish dick you are. We all know you're going to rip apart Inception waaaaay before you even see the film. Maybe it'll be your snide payback for having to admit that The Dark Knight was actually GOOD. And another thing: no one gives a shit about your "prophecies". People come here to get movie news, not feed your massive and overcompensating ego.

i read the Advocate on this, and i'm seeing him giving out bits and pieces of info in the article, but i still disagree with you on this one. this is Nolan we're talking about. the day before it's release Dark Knight had damn near an hour's worth of various trailers and TV spots, and i know this because i watched all of them countless times(why yes, i am a Batman fanboy, why do you ask?) and even after watching all of them, i still hadn't figured out the story. hell, once Gordon got shot i was honestly wondering whether Nolan was crazy enough to shoot footage of Oldman's Gordon that he was never going to use, just to fuck with the fanboys. by the halfway point in TDK i was so utterly immersed in the film i forgot everything i'd tried to piece together from the trailers. so, in answer to your theory: if you really, Really, REALLY want to know what Inception's all about, you will be able to find out via the web. nothing is leak-proof in hollywood these days, especially not a film of this magnitude. BUT, A) the official promos will not spoil the entirety of the plot, and B) even if you know the entire story going in, watching Nolan tell it is 90% of the enjoyment.

Meh. I read a detailed script review already. I don't know if I'd count knowing the plot to the film as much of a spoiler though. It's more about the aesthetic experience and how well it's told. It's not like it's the sixth sense or something. For some reason I don't seem to take issue with film spoilers (unless they give away the actual ENDING), but I get all pissy about tv spoilers. I guess because long play stories on TV are plot driven, whereas large films like this can't really do much in the way of character of plot development comparatively speaking.

Not reading this article because I DON'T WANT IT SPOILED FOR ME!

The article title says it all. If you bemoan the idea of spoiling the film's plot points, then don't participate in doing exactly that. It seems to me that you could have directed readers to the LA Times article and also made your self-referential point without dropping the actual spoiler into the text, yes? Also, I can't help but notice that the LA Times website has the interview with Nolan, and CHUD just has your connection of that interview to your own previous op-ed piece. I'd much prefer to read a *CHUD* interview with Nolan. Any chance of that happening, spoiler-free or not?

Aaaaaaaaand the Devin Hate Wagon for Inception begins. WATCH! as the mindless sychophants on the boards take up the negative tack and run with it. SEE! another 6 months of snippy, petulant op-eds, fitting in sideswipes at The Dark Knight, Avatar and Nolan at every opportunity. MARVEL! at the screed published in the run up to the film which decries the amount of posters that have been released for the film. Dear Lord it is like fucking clockwork.

@16: You forgot the non sequitors about "Planet of the Apes" and how having talking monkeys in "Inception" would add layers of thematic depth. (Full Disclosure: I'm a PotA fan, but really.)

Devin, please, go back to being a critic and not a wrestling heel. Please. This constant baiting is below your writing talents.

I've finally figured out exactly what has been bothering me so much about CHUD. Read the first paragraphs of the last 3 articles: "As soon as it was announced that Sam Raimi was off Spider-Man 4 I was e-mailed by three different friends in the film industry." "At the end of the year I told you that Christopher Nolan's Inception would be totally spoiled…A few weeks later I feel like my prophecy is coming to be." "I've been thinking about why I don't hate Terminator Salvation like most people do." This is no longer a site about movies. It's a site about Devin.

Since i'm not hiding behind some retarded internet name, I don't feel bad about what i'm about to say. Devin used to be a good writer and used to be somewhat of a non-biased critic but he's not either one anymore. I don't know if it started when he got on TV on G4 or not, but he is so full of self rightious hate and bluster about almost everything now that it's hard to even read his "Articles" anymore. I don't know if he's just a failed screenwriter or what, but anyone who starts bashing a movie 7 months before it comes out has a problem, even more so if they're working for a movie site. And whiney claims that he hangs out with cool people who seem to like what he does isn't a bulletproof vest against those of us who get sick of him talking shit about films that we like and talking shit about films that no one has even seen yet. I think his half assed screed against James Cameron that came out last fall where he says that Cameron is an Asshole and a wanna-be adventurer proved beyond a shadow of doubt that he is no more a journalist than I am, and I don't give a flying fuck if he gets paid for it or not. Bush was in the White House for 8 years, that don't make him a great President. Ergo, Devin getting paid to write bullshit hate pieces doesn't make him a great Journalist. Give us your take on a film, fine, but don't start with the "if you like this movie that I insist you don't, then your a stupid idiot and don't know what REAL entertainment is" bullshit. If you can make a film better than Avatar or TDK, then shut up and write it.

@#20: WHAT – THE – FUCK – DUDE – ? Take your meds!

I always WANTED to see Dreamscape remade! I hope that Inception has a scarier Snakeman, though….

Is this going to be the Devin hate boner movie for 2010? If so, I predict a minimum $400 million domestic take.

Another article with Devin taking potshots at Republicans. One of the other commentators is right–these articles are becoming less about movie topics and more about Devin and his personal issues. Not exactly professional, Devin.
