My epic masterwork on 2010's Knight and Day, starring Tom Cruise, is now published exclusively at metaphilm. When I write about the movies, I choose metaphilm because of a wide readership of sprocket-headz. Nevertheless, the article consistent with my work here, as supertramp media-theorist and covert stegosaurus.
The gist is that Knight and Day vs Inception pose a cinematic wresting match between the forces of Good and Evil. Few readers comment at metaphilm, but I would love your comments here, or at the metaphilm site.
I hope you like it. It is called More Than This.

Dear Wiz, another socko-boffo essay. You, sir, simply get better and better with every word you type. It's always a pleasure to read your work. You never fail to a-MUSE and a-MAZE with your witty, thought-provoking MUSE-ings on the liveliest of arts, the waking dreams of our projected psyches, the MOVE-ies.
Come on pal, drinks on me...
Best Regards,
LeMage
PS: "Excremeditation"? Crypto SubG, eh?
You sussed me all right, LeMage. I am a Sub-Genius..., not at all crypto, and your feelers give away that you are very well read indeed.
I am warmed by your comments--so thank you--and really looking forward to sharing that drink.

Nolan clued us in to the joke by breaking the fourth wall repeatedly by using "La Vie en Rose" as the song that sends you into the dream world. Mal played Edith Piaf in "La Vie en Rose", so this was all her own little reality from the get-go. Not to mention that Cobb used HER totem (the spinning top) as his own, which is pointless and impossible of course, using a part of someone else's reality to determine whether or not you are still within your own reality. He might as well have been asking the white rabbit what time it is.
Not to mention that Cobb's French wife was named MAL. French for EVIL. His world was an illusion within an illusion created by Evil itself, and there was no escaping it. Not very subtle.
Hey JB,
How goes it?
Your specific insight is excellent. I wish I could include it in my essay.
Of well, as Jay-zizzle instructs... "on to the next one."
Hey Obi-Wan, new inspiration found over at my blog, "The Meta-Logic Café". Wouldn't be complete without your particular drop of genius in my comments section. Thanks.
