I went looking for tickets to see a taping of The Big Bang Theory, and found this awesome photo of the cast. I've marked the date of the season premiere on my calendar, and I can't wait.

Janell took me out to see Inception last night. I loved it; she thought it was just okay.

It has all the things that make for really great science fiction. At its heart, it's about a story of love, hubris, loss, and redemption. Layered on top of that is a tale of grief, betrayal, and finding one's way as an adult. And all of that is wrapped tightly through a roaring sci-fi action suspense thriller that kept me absolutely enthralled for the whole show.

This was everything that I wanted from The Matrix and didn't get.

Director Christopher Nolan likes to play games like this, which is fun. But what really gets me is that he always plays fair. You have all the clues you need. So I'd love to dig into this movie on DVD and figure out a few of the puzzles he leaves as exercises for the audience.
