If you've seen Inception, then, like me, you've been trying decipher the intricate plot and rich details since viewing it, and if you haven't, then what's wrong with you? No, seriously where you on an exotic Amazonian cruise with no contact with civilization?

While Inception has lived up to its incredibly high expectations and praise, we were left wondering after watching it if we really knew what was going on. Well, enter two of the most unlikely philosophers of our time, Bill S. Preston, Esquire and Ted 'Theodore' Logan and they will help to make sense of it all.

Over at Film Drunk, they were musing about the possible mash-up of Inception and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and one of their readers actually created the video you see below. Huh, I wonder if I muse out loud about a potential mash-up between Closer and Porky's one of our readers will surprise me.

I'm not holding my breath. Sigh.

I'm not sure director/writer Christopher Nolan had Keanu Reeves in mind when he worked out the intricate plot lines, but I sure know that hearing Ted bellow his famous "Whoa" helped me get a grip on things. I'm not sure if you'll be equally enlightened, but it's a fun watch regardless.

Oh, and if you haven't seen Inception, don't fret. The video is basically just audio from the Inception trailer overlain with video from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and a few key Bill & Ted snippets here and there. Tell us what you think!
