Inception

HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT WAS AWESOME!

I have lots of unrelated ideas about this movie, so I will list them:

1) I read an article somewhere, where Christopher Nolan acknowledged that he got the idea of dream-diving from Satoshi Kon's movie "Paprika." If you liked the concepts in Inception but have never seen "Paprika," I highly recommend it! That and everything else Satoshi Kon ever touched.

2) What would have gotten me to go see this movie immediately:
INCEPTION: Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as SPIDER-MAN!

3) This movie was highly inspiring to me from a writing standpoint. Lots of times I'll read something and be so floored that I become morose and think, "Oh, I'll never be able to write anything like that, so why bother." But when I watched this, I vainly thought to myself, "I could totally have written that!" I mean, the concepts were intricate. But the dialogue and whatever itself were not that hard - for this movie, I think once you had the central concept down, everything else would follow pretty easily.


4) Arthur getting Ellen Page to kiss him on the cheek was pretty fucking adorable.


5) WHERE IS THE FIC? ELLEN PAGE/ARTHUR AND ARTHUR/COBB WOULD BE PREFERRED. I would also accept Arthur/British Guy.

6) I will now go reread everyone's Inception posts.

7) I left the theater loudly asking my boyfriend, "HOW CAN IT BE SO GOOD? WHAT IF I COULD WRITE LIKE THAT? OH MY GOD, HOW WAS THAT SO AWESOME?!"

8) I'd really like to wear scarves around my neck like Ellen Page did, but I feel like that look would only work with a small bust size. Her makeup artist was fabulous.

There is tons of fic already for this movie, check out [community profile] inception. A lot of it is Arthur/Eames (the British guy). I think Arthur/Ariadne (Ellen Page) is pretty popular too, and a handful of other pairings. It's all over delicious. [personal profile] bookshop has been pretty involved in this fandom too, doing recs and things. Glad you liked it!

Oh dear god, the Inception fandom is enormous. For a starting place for recs, I'd recommend anything written by hackthis, as well as the recs she's made herself. http://hackthis.livejournal.com/

There's a really good Arthur/Ariadne fic on AOOO called "Everyone Rolls With Their Fingers Crossed".

yay, I can read this post finally! (saw it this evening)

I loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove arthur <3


unusually, I didn't come out of it with the feeling of 'I WISH THIS WERE REAL'. I think that can be attributed to already having wished that I could live true life with dream logic and having given up on it, after despairing a while.
