(SPOT.ph) Busy day, Spotters? We quickly recap 10 things you might have missed while you were off the radar.
1. Christopher Nolan finally discusses Inception ending
Are you still frustrated at how the Inception ending left you hanging? Director Christopher Nolan has finally discussed how it ended...sort of. In a graduation speech given at Princeton University, he urged the graduates to "chase [their] reality" and continued, "I want to make the case to you that our dreams, our virtual realities, these abstractions that we enjoy and surround ourselves with they are subsets of reality."
He then compared his statement to the Inception ending, saying, "The way the end of that film worked, Leonardo DiCaprio’s character Cobb—he was off with his kids, he was in his own subjective reality. He didn’t really care anymore, and that makes a statement: perhaps, all levels of reality are valid [...] But the question of whether that’s a dream or whether it’s real is the question I’ve been asked most about any of the films I’ve made. It matters to people because that’s the point about reality. Reality matters."
2. Cesar Montano responds to rumors of love child with Sandra Seifert

He didn't directly respond, however, to questions on whether he was dating her. The two were recently spotted in the audience of the May 26 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
