Inception Or Deception?



INCEPTION : The beginning of something, such as an undertaking; a commencement. That's what WIKIPEDIA told me. 


But Am I the only one who didn't get it?


For the record, I wanted to surrender to this dream; I didn’t want to be out in the cold, alone. But I truly have no idea why so many people are raving about this film. It’s as if someone went into their heads while they were sleeping and planted the idea that Inception is a visionary masterpiece! 


I think I get it. The movie is a metaphor for the power of delusional hype—a metaphor for itself.


Inception is full of brontosaurean effects, like the city that folds over on top of itself, zero-gravity scenes and more, but the tone is so solemn I felt out of line even cracking a smile. It lacks the nimbleness of Spielberg’s Minority Report or the Jungian-carnival bravado of Joseph Ruben’s Dreamscape or the eerily clean lines and stylized black-suited baddies of The Matrix—or, the film What Dreams May Come, for that matter, the off-kilter intensity of Nolan’s own InsomniaThe attackers in Inception are anonymous, the tone is flat and impersonal. Nolan is too literal-minded, too caught up in ticktock logistics, to make a great, untethered dream movie.


The visual effects is perfect and Leo and Marion too! but if not for them, I may just have to wait for the film to be released in DVD. I personally didn't like the film.






I LVoe, NOT!

Opening Ceremony Fall | Winter 2010 Lookbook

One of my favorite online retailer-and-clothing-label, Opening Ceremony, has released its lookbook for Fall | Winter 2010 collection.


What more could you expect from Opening Ceremony, aside from beautiful spot-on designs, like unstructured knits, and simple woolen pieces for the boys, and dangly Rodarte-inspired dresses, and ultra-trendy wedges for the girls? Don’t feel left out, the Pendleton collab seems to have left an impression though, as we see some beautiful Native American inspired patterns on the men’s side of things too. 


Beautiful photography work by Max Farago and styling by Mel Ottenberg make this a brilliant lookbook that we’ll still be referencing months from now.








































I LVoe!
