Now, where was I?

I may have found my favorite blog. Allen Fuqua takes the time to mimic shots from movies whenever he travels. The photo above may not seem very interesting to the casual viewer, but I chose to reblog this one because it’s just a little side street that we see for maybe one second during Inception which suddenly becomes very real when you see it in real life. That’s what happened to me when I saw the bar from the end of Frankenheimer’s Ronin, except I didn’t have the time to take a good picture of it. But I did get to take the photo below while standing on the top floor of Centre Pompidou, which felt a lot like the last few frames of the establishing shot of Paris in Inception.

Now I’m inspired to plan ahead for these moments when I travel.

Recently, I showed Inception to my psychology students after our unit on consciousness, sleep, and dreams. We talked about the movie the next day and they filled out a response sheet. This drawing was at the bottom of one of those sheets.

Absolutely brilliant. Now this is what a minimalist movie poster should be.

After reading the eulogy that Nolan wrote for Heath Ledger, I have often wondered if any pictures of the infamous skateboard would surface. I guess I haven’t really looked around for them, so I was pleasantly surprised to see this on one of my Tumblr saved searches today.

Inception on IMAX starts in 15 minutes. This is what the theater looks like. I’m actually kind of happy about this.
