- Gross Jelly Bean flavours (quite why anyone would want to eat ‘Vomit’ or ‘Baby Wipes’ flavour, even for a joke, is beyond us)
- Great TV Mistakes (oh look, Sarah Michelle Geller is inhaling in that shot but exhaling in the next. TV bloopers are so ace)

Inception has topped the weekend box office for so long that we were starting to wonder if anything could beat it.
But something has. A film has come along and surpassed Inception and its tricksy time structures, impeccable direction and impressive refusal to pander to its audience. But what incredible, Inception-topping masterpiece is this?
Why, it’s The Other Guys – the film where Will Ferrell pulls some funny faces and Mark Wahlberg plays a clueless beefhead. Admittedly we’ve just described every film that Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg have ever starred in, but shut up. The Other Guys is number one, so it’s objectively a better film than Inception.

Yes, alright, Inception is quite good. Yes, people are watching it more than once to work it all out.
But seriously. How many times does it take? Inception is now enjoying its third week at the top of the box office, with many of the receipts coming from repeat viewings. So, look, let’s save you some money – and if you haven’t watched Inception yet, don’t keep reading – it was all a dream. The ending was a dream. A dream within a dream within a dream. No, wait, a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream. No, hang on, a dream within a… oh, bugger it all to hell. We’ll have to go and watch it again too now.

This week, the weekend box office was all about Inception vs Salt. The reigning champion vs the plucky underdog.
Leonardo DiCaprio vs Angelina Jolie. A film about the impossibly labyrinthine tangle that is the human subconscious vs a film about, dunno, some salt or something. A film filled with groundbreaking special effects and breathtaking narrative devices vs the same stupid generic guns-out film that Angelina Jolie always makes right after she’s made a sad film about a woman crying over her lost baby or whatever. Who would win?
Well, Inception, obviously. Don’t you people read headlines any more? Honestly, sometimes we think we’re just pissing up a wall here, we really do. Full US weekend box office top five after the jump…
