Yup. The upcoming movie I'm most looking forward to is Nolan's "Inception." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Sd0ff1sbJU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3XzUYd6nrU Dream cast, uh, so to speak. Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, Michael Caine, and Lukas Haas. And there will be an IMAX version. Due in the US July 13th, in the UK July 16th. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1375666/ > > If you haven't seen it, Guy Pearce's character has a real- > > life problem (meaning that it exists) -- he is unable to > > form short-term memories.
