Those crazy ducks over in Duckburg are at it again guys. This time they’re using ideas seen in Christopher Nolan’s Inception and putting them into their comics!

The panel seen here is from “The Dream of a Lifetime,” where The Beagle Boys use a special machine to enter Scrooge’s dream in an effort to extract information so they can steal his money. The story appeared in an issue of The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck published in 2002.

You eagle-eyed viewers might say that this comic is before Inception was released, but Christopher Nolan actually had thought about these ideas on and off since he was sixteen years old and first pitched the idea to Warner Bros. in 2001.

So did Inception‘s ending really frustrate you? Do you just have to know what it meant? Well then you are in luck, because there has been some recent developments in that very area.

While Christopher Nolan and the cast will not tell you what the ending means, that doesn’t mean the costume designer has to keep tight-lipped.

SPOILERS for the end of Inception coming your way.

The film’s ending has been up for debate: Is Leonardo DiCaprio‘s character, Cobb, awake or still dreaming at the end of the movie?

Clothes on Film interviewed the film’s costume designer, Jeffrey Kurland, who ended up giving up a significant detail about the scene in which Cobb is reunited with this children.

The LA Times had the chance to speak to Kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn recently, who shared an interesting story about a recent movie-going experience.

Vaughn has been working away on his next film — an adaptation of the Marvel comic book series X-Men: First Class — and decided to go out and take a peek at Christopher Nolan’s Inception. What seemed like a normal night at the movies actually turned into a tricky situation; Vaughn realized that some aspects of his movie were going to be very similar to things he saw in Inception. Most would probably just ignore this, but Vaughn is clearly determined to make something unique and thus, decided to remove these parts of his movie.

Christopher Nolan‘s Inception is still going strong at the box office, coming in on top for the second week since it was released on July 16, 2010, making over $232 million worldwide.

Since its release, Inception has been praised by most and will probably be the most talked about movie of the year, thanks to its multiple layers and intricate plot lines. On the Inception episode of our movie podcast Flix of Doom, we spent nearly two hours analyzing the film, and other sites as well have spent hours discussing the film and writing up in depth articles on just what in the hell is going on in this movie.

What better way to explain what’s happening in Inception than with an infographic or two? Two such charts are circulating online, which you can view here below. SPOILERS, of course, if you haven’t seen the film. The first chart seeks to illustrate the ‘kicks’ from the film. The second is a chart explaining the 5 Levels from the film, along with the kicks.

What do you think of these infographics? Do they do the trick in explaining this movie? Did they get it right?

After a recent screening of Inception, it occurred to YouTuber camiam321 that there may be some method to the madness of the dark, slow, bass-heavy theme that dominates Hans Zimmer‘s score.

He took Edith Piaf’s “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien” (which is used as a recurring motif in the film’s heist sequence), and slowed it down in Adobe Soundbooth by 300%. The result was a near exact match to the Zimmer theme.

Watch the video here below and listen to the comparison.

Thematically, this ties in perfectly with the film’s plot device in which (MINOR SPOILERS) a dream can feel exponentially longer than the time it takes to dream it, and a dream within a dream can feel exponentially longer than the dream level above it, in other words, hours within a dream can take place over the course of 20 minutes in real life.
