Christopher Nolan’s REAL inspiration behind “Inception”

Dreams within dreams within dreams and losing your grip on what’s really, really, really, real. All that combined with mind-bending special fx. It would appear that a certain Piano Man tackled these complex themes all the way back in 1982. Click the link below and see for yourself. Also, if you haven’t already done so, go see INCEPTION 23 times!

The video is only a few minutes to watch but if you were IN the video it felt like HOURS! Thanks, BJ!

The film was a great load of sticky mind-sex.

Wow, and I thought “Keeping The Faith” was Billie’s way of reaching out for help with his drinking problem, I stand corrected.

I’m your nerd host, Chris Hardwick

Nerdist is a place where we nerds come together and share the nerdery that we find. It's also my home to various elements of the Nerdist Empire. You might recognize me from TV. You don't realize that's where you know me from, but it is. You think you went to college with me or I look like your cousin's friend, but that is not the case. At one time or another you stumbled upon me on your moving picture box in such cerebral gems as MTV's "Singled Out" and Noam Chomsky's "Shipmates." and so much more...
