Memes Within Memes Is Too Unstable: 15 Memes Inspired by Inception

by Robert Quigley | 2:08 pm, July 27th

 

A week-and-a-half later, Inception is still lingering in our minds, doing well at the box office, and, most importantly, inspiring people to make funny pictures on the Internet. That last point might seem insubstantial, but rest assured it isn’t.

By and large, image macro humor is created by geeks, and as such they’re a reliable gauge for which popular entertainment will endure, what actually makes us think and wins our obsession. Why do you think Inglourious Basterds birthed so many more memes than The Blind Side?

Below, 15 of the best memes inspired by Inception. No big spoilers, per se, but they may not make sense if you haven’t seen the movie. Also, be warned that there is some saucy language.

Critics Drool Over Inception: Compare It to The Matrix, Bond Films, Kubrick and Coppola

by Michael Suen | 12:58 pm, July 6th

We can all breathe easy, but only for a few moments, before we start hyperventilating with unbearable anticipation. The review embargo for Christopher Nolan‘s Inception lifted yesterday at 6PM EST, and the critics that have weighed in are universally locked in verbal lust with the film.

If this first wave of reviews is to be believed, Inception is Nolan’s magnum opus, deftly weaving mindboggling visuals, emotional pay-off, and intricate storytelling into an intelligent sci-fi blockbuster. Though a backlash is inevitable sooner or later (Armond White?), the word seems to be that this could be the first must-see film of the year. The highlights of some of the more interesting Inception reviews, after the jump:

Toy Story 3: Inception [Trailer Mashup]

by Robert Quigley | 6:20 pm, May 13th

When the LA Times wrote the first in-depth piece about Inception, which they called an “existential heist flick,” we were relieved to read it — both because we’re big Christopher Nolan fans, thanks in no small part to his great job on rebooting Batman, and because, well, we didn’t really know what it was all about.

Right when we thought we’d wrapped our heads around it, the devious video editor at ScreenRant, Mike Eisenberg, just had to throw our heads for a loop. Thanks to an uncannily well-done overdub of the audio from the Inception trailer over the trailer for Toy Story 3, we, like Leonardo DiCaprio — or is that Woody? — can no longer tell fact from fiction.

Public Service Announcement: What Inception Is About

by Susana Polo | 1:54 pm, April 11th

I trust Christopher Nolan as a director, and with a cast that includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, and Michael Caine, who could say no to Inception? The problem is that immediately after watching the trailer, I was overcome with two warring emotions. 1) An interest in the film. 2) The knowledge that I had been tricked into being interested in the film, because I still had no idea what it was about.

Thankfully, Geoff Boucher at The LA Times has revealed just enough about the movie’s plot to make the trailer more coherent and make me feel a little less like a victim of a Jedi mind trick.
