Using paper cut outs and a standard digital camera, Wolfgang Matzl creates this highly truncated version of Inception. Despite the limited time and production, the cartoon still has some of the visual tricks of the source material. The opening, showing an unfolding building, is particularly clever.

But my favorite part has to be the deadpan dialogue. “Oh, wait a minute. I still have to finish this job. In my dream.”

While Inception mashups are hardly new, it doesn’t make them any less awesome when they’re done well. And with the best movie of all time.

I’m not sure which is weirder: That YouTuber railok saw the latest Christmas-themed Coca-Cola commercial and thought “hey, this would go really well with the Inception music” or that it actually did. Snow globes within snow globes is too unstable.

Behold! Christopher Nolan‘s very own plot map of Inception.

You may now discuss why there appears to be no kick to get out of limbo.

Like Inception itself, this video has spawned nothing but argument, with some pointing out that it isn’t correct because the footage from the deeper dreams doesn’t always move faster than the footage from the dreams above them.  The easy answer is that there isn’t enough footage from some of the dreams to make each segment rush by at their actual speed.

The other flaw brought up is that there are actually five timelines, not four: the video omits footage of the extractors in reality.  Creator weikang explains that there simply weren’t enough shots of them sleeping on the plane to put it in.

And it would have made the video six or seven hours long.

Note: Obviously, if you haven’t already seen Inception, somehow, there are serious spoilers here.

Remember when we said an Inception video game could become reality? Well, an Inception video game became reality. Christopher Nolan, the director-within-a-writer-within-a-producer who is essentially responsible for all of the dream-within-a-dream memes flying around the Internet, told Insider Movies that a game set in the world of Inception is currently in development, [insert joke about which world-within-a-world of Inception here.]

Nolan didn’t divulge any details, other than the game is “a longer-term proposition,” but one can only imagine the player will be going deeper at some point.

We called it: Though it’s a few months after Inceptionmania swept the Internet and our personal lives, the Inception TV plot is now a thing, as we saw on last night’s episode of South Park. Come for the South Park-style Cobb, Arthur, Yusuf, et al.: Stay for the randomly beatboxed Hans Zimmer Inception theme.

Last night’s Simpsons season premiere opened with an Inception-themed blackboard.

Side note: (h/t Susana) Will this be the season that we start seeing Inception plots of multi-leveled dream entry and intrigue on TV sitcoms? It could be awesome on shows like Futurama and South Park if it was done well; Two and a Half Men, not so much.

Ever since Inception hit theaters in July and inspired a sea of memes, scads of convoluted theories, and countless “we need to go deeper” jokes, countless nerds have yearned for an Inception video game, even as the prospect of a bungled gaming cash-in has filled them with dread. Now, the film’s director, Christopher Nolan, has said that an Inception game could be in the works.
