While watching Inception this week for the second time I found myself stuck on one point - Limbo. I just couldn't help myself. Every time they mentioned it I kept thinking of mariachi bands, a wooden pole, and a group of questionably sober people flopping on the ground trying desperately to keep their neck and head straight. I know it kind of kills the 'buzz' from the film, but on some level I wonder if it doesn't help make it better. Besides, who wouldn't want to see DiCaprio, Watanabe, Murphy, Page, and Cotillard settle it all with a big limbo competition!? It would be indisputably the greatest ending ever.
For your Consideration:
Do you know what I do? Oscillation is a byproduct of a Linknation
Dark of the Matinee sits down with Oscar nominated visual effects artist Douglas Trumbull for a one to one conversation on 2001 A Space Odyssey, CGI, and more!

Last, but certainly not least, a big announcement for our former LAMB master graced the internet this past Saturday. If you haven't gone over there and said your congratulations, do so now, or fear the wrath of the Uni!

New Poll: Tron is often considered one of the biggest 'cult' films in its own right. I want to know - what are your feelings towards the original Tron?
Odd One Out Poster Challenge:
This was without a doubt the most difficult week for me yet! You guys did a great job and I think are starting to catch on for the kind of answers I'm looking for. So, without further ado here's the week 3 winner:
"Inception is the odd one out because while the other films can be traced to the Marvel Universe, Inception is DC:
Poster #1: "From the director of Iron Man"
Poster #3: Star and poster-dude Paul Bettany played Jarvis in Iron Man 1 and 2
Poster #4: It's Thor. Durr.
So Poster #2 is the odd one out because Christopher Nolan/Michael Caine = Batman = DC"
Poster #1: "From the director of Iron Man"
Poster #3: Star and poster-dude Paul Bettany played Jarvis in Iron Man 1 and 2
Poster #4: It's Thor. Durr.
So Poster #2 is the odd one out because Christopher Nolan/Michael Caine = Batman = DC"
Research skills + Comic Knowledge + Out of the box thinking = Insta-win!
Score of the Week:
I can never get enough of Elmer Bernstein. So this week I'm giving out some love to his work on To Kill a Mockingbird!
