08.03.2010 Inception was stolen from Scrooge McDuck

inception_scrooge_mcduck

Sorry about the fact that there haven’t been any posts today. Some site issues came up this morning and I got all pissed off, so while I sort that out, please enjoy this Scrooge McDuck comic book from 2002 that tells the story of criminals who break into Scooges dreams to steal his secrets, specifically to break into a vault where his secrets are hidden. Scrooge and Donald just want to go home, but the physical world around them is constantly changing and shifting, with crazy things like trains appearing out of nowhere.

If that sounds like the plot of Inception, it should. Christopher Nolan just replaced the Beagle Boys with Leonardo DiCaprio and then made it all fancy by spinning the camera around and shit.

    I haven’t seen “Inception” yet. Thanks for ruining it for me.

    Let me try and fill in for Brendollar:

    LINDSAY GIVES GOOD ADVICE

    Lindsay Lohan spent 14 days in jail for violation the terms of her probation even though she insisted that she had been as complaint as one could be despite the mountain of evidence to the contrary. Before her stay at the LAPD Hilton Lynwood, CA jail she had some advice to give others that appears in the always entertaining MAXIM magazine for September:

    “What is your advice to others about how to cope with adversity?

    Stay true to yourself always. At the end of the day, you have to look at yourself in the mirror and be content with the choices you’ve made, and will make, in your life. Go with your gut!”

    Apparently Lindsay’s mirror doesn’t offer reflections of accountability or actuality. I have the same problem actually; if not I would have to return the Peter Pan costume and release my little Tinkerbell. But all you need is trust and a little bit of pixie dust!

    Anyone ever pulled off an Omaha Laundychute? I DP’d my step sister while she was on the rag over the weekend, and she said, “Wow, I haven’t had an Omaha Laundrychute since gradeschool!”
    Didn’t know there was a name for it. Just felt like doing something filthy.

  17. SCUM 08/03/2010 16:23

    Holly Peers has nice fun bags.

  18. A Dirty George A. Romero Love Pillow 08/03/2010 16:24

    Fuck the Omaha Laundrychute, go for an Alabama Hot Pocket.

  19. minimosh 08/03/2010 16:25

    run and tell that, homeboy.

    Serious post: Chris Nolan wouldn’t be the first moviemaker to find inspiration in Uncle Scrooge comic books. George Lucas has often cited Carl Barks stories from the 1950s as a large influence, and Spielberg “stole” some elements from those comics in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Nolan is just following in their footsteps.

    I guess what I’m trying to say is Uncle Scrooge comics (especially those written by the late Barks and Don Rosa, who wrote the dream story posted here), are pretty fucking awesome.
