Oh well.
NOT! Because unlike all the other 9 billion American girls here in the States (or however many there are, whatever) my world does not revolve around these actors, nor will it probably ever.
Anyway, so I'm looking at the other articles offered in this issue, and after my traditional gasp/hiss "Yessss" (I do this for every EW, no matter who's on the cover) I see this written (I believed I mentioned this in my last blog, no?)
THE BIG BUZZ ON 'INCEPTION'
In fact, in the picture above, it is right on Pattinson's blue shoulder, right below the white caption that reads "WHY 'TOY STORY 3' MAKES GROWN MEN CRY".
So of course, I need to seriously make sure I don't accidentally turn to this page. Because I am not only a fast reader, but I'm a skimmer also, and like it or not, I usually pick out the important words in any news article pretty quickly.
So I look at the table of contents, skim for the word Inception, give the people around me my trademark Inception gasp (highly dramatic, very sudden and alarming) and tell myself: SKIP PAGE 14.
Well. Entertainment Weekly is not a fan of page numbers, at least in the very beginning. I turn the pages very carefully in the opening stages of reading the magazine, glancing both at the top and bottom corners to make sure if I'm on page 9 or 10 or so. It's not till I get to page 14 that I realize I'm on page 14, so I quickly, melodramatically turn the page, look up at the ceiling, and tell myself, "It's all right, I didn't see anything."
But! The story's not over yet, folks. In addition to page 14, page 15 is also filled with Inception notes, as well as Christopher Nolan's track record of how much his films have grossed from the box office. So no page 15 either.
Kind of reminds me of when I got an Entertainment Weekly with LOST on the cover. I am not a Lost hater by any means. I watched about five episodes of season 6--without watching anything previously--then changed my mind, and as of now I'm HOOKED on the series (season 2!) But anyway, this specific issue featuring LOST was literally first page to last page filled with nothing but LOST. Like, everything.
Anyway, so magazine story done. Moving on.
Beware of entering movie-theaters, blog-readers. Just yesterday I saw Toy Story 3 with a friend and walked in the place like it was no big deal.
Suddenly I am bombarded with various posters and advertisements for Inception all around me! And, what's more, I learned something I did not previously know! I could've cried right there, as I was buying my ticket. I will spare you guys, but let me tell you -- I thought I was coming down the wire, to be honest. I mean, it makes sense that I should see these posters in the theater, but I guess since I know absolutely nothing more about Inception, it didn't occur to me to figure it'd be marketed heavily. In hindsight, I should've realized this, since this is Christopher Nolan we're talking about.
But seeing the posters made me so much more excited for July 16th. Leonardo DiCaprio! Joseph Gordon-Levitt! Cillian Murphy! I mean, I just cannot wait.
Anyway, so that's it for today's post. Nothing really movie news-related, although you guys might like this piece of info, or maybe this one too.
Happy Friday!
(Oh: and did I mention that Inception is going to be in IMAX theaters? Who's up for some major dizziness and headache action? I am!)
