Michael Musto's Man on the Street: Inception May Be a Literal Sleeper
It's only been out for a few days, but already, Christopher Nolan's Inception has inspired adoration, pans, and outright riots in the theater. We sent Michael Musto to gauge audience reaction, and we found that the brainy action film may be putting viewers into their own dream states.
Still, even the theatergoers who feel asleep during Inception still liked it! WB, you have free reign to put that on the posters.

Michael, your piece was shallow and anti-intellectual. You've lost the right to complain about mindless Hollywood froth when you scoff at this intelligent and complex film. Shame on you. Go back to your drag shows. At least those you understand.
Originally I had no intention on seeing Inception since the original trailers did not sell me on the movie. But now I will be seeing it this Thursday (07-22) in IMAX. From everything I have read this is the thinking man's movie and those are the types of movies that I love. I will give a full review on Thursday.
And if someone says that he fell asleep during the movie twice and liked it is a moron. How you can you judge a movie completely if you weren't awake for the entire experience?
Oh, never again Musto. After you spoiled a major plot point in The Kids Are Alight, I've learned to avoid your videos.
The major plot point was in the trailer, as I noted in my video!!
"Free rein", you grammatical moron, not "free reign". They aren't royalty.
I read a similar article on another website and didn't see the point, but this article makes it clearer to me now. Many thanks!
