"These two words, nerd and geek, are frequently used interchangeably. However, this does a great disservice to all nerds and geeks who wear the badge of their respective anti-social lifestyle choice with pride. For this reason I feel that it is of the utmost importance that we correctly define the two terms.
Geek

A geek can best be defined as one who maintains an excessive fascination with a single thing or collection of things. I use the more general term thing only because there is a wide range of fascinations available which may qualified as geeky. Some have asserted that the object of obsession must be one that is not considered to be socially acceptable or commonly observed from the majority of inhabitants of any give society."

Our mind is a powerful weapon...

And this movie is set to examine that. Director Christopher Nolan, who is responsible for such films as Mememto, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Prestige, comes up with a brand new thriller for this summer. Inception stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page (you know her as the star of Juno). It's funny that I'm typing this because my TV is on TNT right now and its playing an encore presentation of Titanic, haha. Whatever, I guess its divine intervention that I would discover this movie is about to come out....or maybe because there's nothing else on.



Christopher Nolan's trailers typically don't reveal much about what the film is about, it just uses great cinematography and action packed scenes. The synopsis of this movie, according to IMDB.com is


In a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion, a single idea within one's mind can be the most dangerous weapon or the most valuable asset.


Sounds like a twisted mind game in a theatrical release. I just hope that nobody falls asleep on this thing. My mother still can't understand The Matrix even though I specifically explained it a 100 times to her in plain English. But hey, she likes Obsessed, so there goes the rationale in her tastes.
