Most people would think that there are just 2 sides of an argument, but actually this is just an over simplified version in standardized televised debates. For these debates to be considered a good one, both “for” and “against” points should have strong arguments about a certain topic. Common topics could be politics, religion, global warming, or other things that are not exactly proven to be an absolute fact.

So how does this relate to Inception exactly? Well to answer that, let me talk about the different perceptions of the mind or how a certain mindset based on what you know (or what people say at the right moment) can change how you think or feel about the same situation.

PERCEPTIONS OF THE MIND

You would notice in the movie that (almost) all of the participants have their own share of (very scary) skeletons in their closets that they were afraid to reveal to their “comrades”.  At first they kept these secrets hidden because they trusted AND not trusted each other at the same time.

They were on the same mission, but their individual motives were different, and they couldn’t trust each other enough not to spill the beans. Not until they were placed in a very dire (deadly) situation where they have to tell each other everything…but it wasn’t that simple.

So I watched the newest sequel to the Twilight franchise, and I have to warn you….. it’s not as terrible as people think it is!

I’m a fan of  the Twilight Saga, but I kind of get why for the most part only Tween fans are raving about it; it’s not exactly Shakespeare or Anne Rice. So if you read to enrich your literature knowledge or something, skip it.

I like to review movies and blockbuster buffs usually agree with my tastes. But with Twilight it will go something like: you like all these cool things but you have to ruin it all and like Twilight!

For the most part I’m confused too….. I mean, why can’t they like it??! LOLOL!

Sure, it’s not the best movie out there, but it’s NOT horrible! I watch movies every week, so I would think I’m a good judge of blockbuster movies. And I definitely won’t say it’s a good film just because I am a fan.

With all the good movies out this year like Iron Man 2, Prince of Persia, A-Team, Toy Story 3, Karate Kid, Knight and Day, etc. (apologies, they are coming out much faster than I can review them =P) I was honestly not looking forward to Eclipse. I mean, I read the book, so I didn’t feel that I would get something new here. But yeah, I should know that Books and Movies are two different things.

And for Twilight, I think you can hate the book, but rave about the Eclipse Movie.

THE BOOK AND THE MOVIE

Congratulations Stevebethere from bethere2day…online randomness for Entrecard dropping a FULL 31 days for the month of June! (Weird… I could have sworn June only has 30 days, but it says 31 on Entrecard just now =)

I also appreciate Stevebethere here for being my one and only qualifier and being damn good at it! Very deserving to have that shiny trophy (I have gotten somewhere I’m not sure where) right next to his neat banner! =)

It’s weird but I’m actually pretty happy that there is only one who qualified, now I wouldn’t have to do all the other things I promised for the winners (would have taken a while). And I hate actually just random-ing one person out of many, now my conscience is clear! (BTW, I did use Random.org but it won’t allow me to put just 1 =( )

And at least I know I have at least 1 blogger who supports Click On Portal enough to drop daily. =)

Anyways, bethere2day is a pretty cool random blog, I go there every now and again! The design is neat and there are no website irritations there! My personal favorite are the nice quotes that are compiled in the blog every now and again.  =) Be sure to check this blog out!
