you mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling

Anyone who hasn't yet seen Inception, I don't know what's stopping you. Get on it! It's not a life-changing experience but it is a fan-fucking-tastic movie and Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in a suit. For the entire movie. Also, you know, the plot's pretty good. ;) And the rest of the ensemble cast is lovely. ETA: My caveat being that the movie is hardly perfect and has its problems, which I haven't really been dwelling on (other than initial fleeting thoughts) until brought up in Aja's post comments. I'd say: watch the movie, form your own opinions, and come back and talk/think about it some more!

I've somehow managed to see it three times already and I have to report that the second viewing is probably the best. Anyone who's paying attention is probably unsurprised by my unholy glee at the witty, snarky banter between Arthur and Eames. I am weak, all right?

I shouldn't be surprised that I wasn't the only one, either - and yet it wasn't until yesterday that I realized, oh dear god, Inception has a fandom already. Not just a main comm or a fic comm or an icon comm - we're down with the kinkmeme already: inception_kink.

I have, of course, started reading. I'm so predictable, you guys. Here's the first rec; delicious is open for the others, as always!

IF EAMES IS THE FORGER GUY, I AM TOTALLY IN ON THIS SHIP.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

YES HE IS. OF COURSE HE IS. :D

[catskilt.livejournal.com]

WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT ME THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT INTELLIGENT MOVIE I WAS THINKING, "I WOULD SHIP THE TWO OF THEM"?

[pregnantcigar.livejournal.com]

you're back! ♥

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Hi! ♥ Will probably still be around less but, yes, back.

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

omfg this movie is amazing

[meiface.livejournal.com]

You finally saw it! \o/

[suxing.livejournal.com]

moo-hahahahahahaha >:)

[meiface.livejournal.com]

I am considering friending eames_arthur. THAT IS SO SAD.

[emeraldcrystal.livejournal.com]

MEIIIII! I was scared you'd actually deleted your journal. D: also, yay for recs! Though first, I need to go and watch the movie.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

No, only temporary to deal with some things. Go watch the movieeee! :D When I stop being lazy, I'll have to re-do my icons here. /uses her one Inception icon

[kitsune-jade.livejournal.com]

You and your post have been missed.

So far, I have been reading reviews for this movie and most of them are full of praises for it. Hee can't wait to watch it this weekend.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Yep, it's a very good, very fun movie. I hope you enjoy the shit out of it! :D Then come back to this post and consider my recs, hehe.

[intomorning.livejournal.com]

I liked the first viewing b/c everything was fresh and new, but the second viewing is also excellent. 8)

I am so glad I'm not the only one who ships Eames/Arthur (though I thought the kiss between Ariadne and Arthur was adorable!). I think I caught more of their interactions/banter in the second viewing, which I appreciated.

Also, have you seen this NY Times video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzX9jHB3LfA) of JGL? It's not mind-blowing, but JGL briefly speaks in French and talks about Dumbo and about being a soldier (well, not being a soldier, per se).

[meiface.livejournal.com]

I have not seen that video! I love love love witty banter so that is why I am so easy for Arthur/Eames, even if they hardly had a deep relationship/connection as portrayed in the movie. That's kind of what's fun about fic, though - seeing how people create backstory. :D

[konnistique.livejournal.com]

Fandom is fast. Or should I say, fandom kinks are fast? LOL. Definitely been wanting to see it asap though! Seems like everyone and their mother has seen it already ;;

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Well the kinkmeme is really more just full of fic prompts, lots of cute gen and fluff and humor stuff too. :D

I hope you get to see the movie soon!

[skadihelias.livejournal.com]

God, I can't stop reading the kink meme since like, two days after its creation. It's like all the great authors are conspiring to destroy whatever life fangirls have outside fandom XDDD Arthur and Eames are like, these delicious and pretty cakes set on display to lure girls with sweet tooth into the dark side. MEI, YOU SHOULD WRITE ARTHUR/EAMES FICS TOO!!! *is subtle* :DDD

I've seen the movie twice, and I have to restrain myself from going for the third time orz

ALSO, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM TO SEE YOU JOURNAL BACK!!!!

[meiface.livejournal.com]

I have been really really tempted to write Inception fic, but I'm so terrified of writing again. :( It's a huge mental block.

Back = undeleted, yes, but probably not around a ton. Still - ♥!

[darleenk.livejournal.com]

thank god you have undeleted. :DD just now noticed checking to see how many friends i had, haha /hugs you tight. i missed your posts. ♥

HOLY FUCK INCEPTION. DUDE, OKAY. ARTHUR/EAMES. I SHIPPED THAT AS SOON AS THEY WERE IN A SCENE TOGETHER. CAN WE SAY ~TENSION~ AND ~BANTER~? also the actual film? fucking ace. fucked my mind a bit deciding whether it was dream or reality, BUT, in this girl's humble opinion, it was reality. what say you?

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Hi darlinggg~ ♥

I have seen the movie so many times now that I honestly just don't care haha, but I think it's reality too. A friend of mine has been trying to argue that the entire movie was a dream (the Cobalt company people on Cobb's tail in Mumbhasa = projections trained to kill, that when he was running away to that shop demanding 1 cafe and everyone stared at him like he was crazy = projections staring at a dreamer), but idk. I feel like the entire movie would be way too cheap if they copped out to a "but everything was a dream!" trope. I think they just cut away from the top at the end because they wanted to frustrate the audience with a potential non-ending.

Saito was boss. ♥ Have you started reading fic? I have read so much A/E, I don't know what to do with myself. I want amazing explorative longfic from this fandom now haha.

[papered.livejournal.com]

... so I think I should prob watch this movie at some point, since everyone is !ing so hard over it.... even though I never watch movies lol

[meiface.livejournal.com]

You should watch it so I can rec you fic, lol. /priorities
