I know that In Contention has posted a plot summary of sorts for Inception, and that Awards Daily has come out with a post that says they weren't going to, but then did anyway, but I just wanted to inform everyone that I'm not going to be doing a blog post on it, or linking to their site or anything like that. I personally hate having things spoiled for me (which happens more often than I'd like as a side effect of the job I do here, especially in terms of emails that I get periodically on upcoming movies or scripts that I get sent, etc), so I'm going to respect Christopher Nolan's vision of an untarnished (at least for now) film and not do any kind of write up. If you desperately need to know about the film, you can check out the sites that did publish something (/Film did one as well), or ask around, as I'm sure the information is easily available.
-I may change my mind (though I doubt it) or someone else at the site might publish it, but for now, my lips are sealed.

I can't speak for everyone, but I don't think too many people blame you, and are in fact in full support. One of the great things about Inception is its secrecy, and I certainly don't want somebody ruining that when we still have about a year to see it. Thanks, Joey, for actually being one of the few who refuses to divulge. Once we near the release date, the plot points will become known, and it won't be so bad then, but for now, let us all enjoy the blissful mystery, especially in a day when every secret about a film is generally known.

Glad I'm not being crucified for my decision, but did struggle with this for a few hours earlier. On the one hand, I'm in some sense a journalist, and I have a responsibility to report on information that is of interest to readers, but on the other hand, you don't want to reduce the viewing experience for someone. As I told my grandfather in explaining my decision (he who periodically posts on the blog...look for his best and worst of the year come January), it would be like telling you about The Dark Knight and all the plot points after seeing that tiny teaser that we saw that introduced us to the voice of Ledger's Joker. I just don't feel right doing it.
Thanks for the support...hopefully you're not alone.
