After the jump, you can watch a pretty swell mash up of Black Swan and the Paul Verhoeven nipple-core epic, Showgirls, the dolphin-flopping orgasmest movie of 1995  (Mr. Holland’s Opus being a close second).  Watching it, I was surprised at how well audio from the Black Swan trailer corresponds with the events in Showgirls. #ObviousMashUpCompliments.

Personally, I feel like I’m all stocked up on Inception-related things.  I saw the movie.  I liked the movie. I don’t need to write a thesis on it.  That said, this Weikang‘s “Inception in Real Time” video is fairly cool.  Basically, it takes the dream levels, split-screens them, and then adjusts the speed so we can see what’s going on simultaneously in all the dream levels.  “Oh you don’t like cross cutting?  I guess I’ll just go f*ck myself then,” said DW Griffiths, when reached for comment.

Elsewhere and in related news, incontention dug up Chris Nolan’s original hand-drawn diagram (from the book Inception: The Shooting Script) of how the dream levels are supposed to work and all that.  It’s basically the same as the Inception Infographic from a while back, but straight from the source (and completely incomprehensible).  For me, it’s not so much that I need to understand the diagram, I just like that Nolan at least wanted his story to have its own coherent logic.  If McG had tried to diagram what happened in Terminator Salvation between when John Connor jumps out of an airplane into the ocean and when he ends up inside a submarine in the next scene, it would just be a drawing of McG holding a bong and giving you the finger.

Nic Cage is an interesting dude, and not just because he collects dinosaur skulls and speaks to the UN about children eating each other.  He’s been in almost as many of my favorite movies (Adaptation, Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant) as he has my least favorite (anything Jerry Bruckheimer).  This paradox is probably a result of him bringing a level of… energy, and, uh… commitment, that few actors could match. Herzog, while shooting Bad Lieutenant, famously tried to harness Cage’s spazzy energy by keeping him bottled up most of the time, but every now and then telling him to “turn the pig loose,” which I like to imagine led to him socking a make-up girl in the mouth on more than a few occasions.

It goes without saying that Nic Cage’s “Release the Pigs” moments are some of the most bizarrely fascinating in all of cinema, and my plan for Oliver’s follow-up to the Every Arnold Scream Mash Up was a cut of Nic Cage going nuts. Unfortunately, those nerds at Pajiba beat us to it.  Here’s four minutes of Cage releasing the pigs set to the Requiem for a Dream score. In other news, I just got a mental image of Nic Cage in his bear suit from Wicker Man going ass-to-ass with John Travolta, so enjoy that for a few minutes.

I thought for sure Chris Klein’s infamous Mamma Mia audition was a joke when I first saw it.  But a week later he’s not saying so, and even made this Funny or Die video making fun of it, which would further suggest that the earlier video was in fact real.  All I can say about that is, I want whatever he was snorting.  “Awesome to meet you guys!  Hey, is it just me or is your skin really itchy?  I think I have a splinter, hand me that pocket knife.  HEY! I F*CKING LOVE THIS SONG!”

Anyway, I don’t know if a guy can ever fully recover from that, but if you watch his latest video, you have to admit the guy’s got some comedy chops:

Rob Delaney, whom you might remember as the Fake Warner Bros guy, is back with a new video, this one a tribute to Chris Klein’s Mamma Mia audition from the other day.  Delaney apparently share’s Klein’s obsession with Mandy Moore.

You know what I did?  I went out in the hall and I sent all the other actresses home.  I said ‘Go away, you ugly trolls, whose mouths make only noises like farts,” because Mandy Moore is the best!  So, uh, you’re welcome.

And that was just a small taste.  There’s more rambling where that came from.  Frankly, it’s impressive work.  He plays coked up and gay so convincingly that Andy Dick decided to get sober.  True story.
