So, last night I finally got around to seeing Inception. Yes, I know that this makes me about the slowest person ever. On the other hand, I still haven't seen Avatar, so who knows.
And so, yes, I now see what all the fannish flailing over the past few weeks has been about - well, some of it anyhow. I think I'm more interested in the mindfuckery than the shipping, really.
But it was very interesting in the way that means I'll want to go see it again - not because I wasn't sure what was going on, because I (mostly) got that. I just want to pay attention to stuff I missed the first time round. Or was distracted by people talking in the row behind me. *grumble*
Otherwise - effects were great, especially the dreamscape stuff (and that fun gravity flippery). I liked the entire team, though I wish some had a bit more backstory/character stuff. But I think Saito was my favourite. I have no idea why. And the music is ridiculously catchy.
Also, my one spoilery comment: So, when we get to the end scene, and they end the shot before we can see if the top keeps spinning or not, all I could think was "Christopher Nolan, you utter bastard".
Which is possibly the intended reaction.
Yo,
connikins, I know you are all about Inception fandom at the moment. Recommend me some communities/meta/discussion/fic/whatever. Other people are also welcome to drop in recommendations. Or just talk about the movie.
I also have a strange desire to read an Inception/Cowboy Bebop crossover.

Strange but true fact: The stuff I bought in America included a (wooden) spinning top, a pair of coloured dice and a roll of casino chips.From:

I don't think you can buy individual pieces. And I do already own a giant pawn, though it's a bit inconvenient to carry around.Dunno about friending but I might check some of their recent posts.

I was pretty surprised when I found out about all the shipping amongst Inception fans -- I didn't get any vibes like that from the movie at all.
From:

I don't mind a bit of shipping but - not as the main plot of fic I want to read. As a subplot, maybe.

Well, I haven't seen The Dark Knight, so I guess I win!I liked the movie but haven't delved into the fandom yet. I really just want genfic but am too lazy to search for it. :P And yesssss about Saito. He doesn't get enough love.
Inception/Cowboy Bebop crossover would be fucking ace.
From:
no subject
Seriously?Yeah, genfic for the win. I've read some shippy stuff, but I'm mostly after gen. And Saito was awesome.
It just struck me that Bebop had a whole lot of stuff about "It's just a dream".

Yup, I think you've got it, there!
I have nothing coherent to say about Inception save that I want the DVD *now*, so I can watch it about ten more times.
From:

Yes, that. Though I might want to go see it at IMAX, too, just to see how shiny it looks on that enormous screen.
