Hint: I prefer happy endings.

eldabeSo, I saw Inception.
Good thing I read a lot of fic and a few articles before I saw this movie or I would have haaaaaaated the ending. As it stands, it's interesting but not especially frustrating.
Really I just want to draw hearts all over Joseph Gordon-Levitt's FACE. That man can act! Also Arthur presses Ianto buttons all over this joint. Suits! Competance! Adorable smiles! Arthur is even a researcher. Becoming a JGL fanperson would be difficult though. He has a bajillion already. (I've already met two straight fanboys who are just as squee-ey over him as I am. I LOVE FANS.)
It's the first movie in a long time where I want to watch AAAALL the special features and commentary and nitpickly little junk they just throw onto DVDs to get us suckers to buy them. (And because my roommate is PERFECT, she bought me the DVD and the blu-ray as a post-LSAT gift. I LOVE YOU, L. I'm already trying to find out which blu-ray players I can access for fansquee watching.)
I want commentary from the costume designers and set builders perhaps most of all. According to wikipedia they actually built the Penrose steps. TELL ME EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT.
Everyone seems obsessed with the ending, but for me it's such a clear-cut dead-author moment I can't be bothered to care that much. It's easy to argue either side, interpret it as you want, yadda. It's other things that drive me crazy. Right now I'm obsessing with a few unexplained flaws in the final series of kicks. They weren't enough to get them out of the dream, just into the top layer. Did they wait out the week in the top layer? Did they figure out a way to kick themselves free? But every interview with Nolan I can find are only about the ending. Grrrr. (Ok, what was real vs. what was not real is an interesting dynamic to explore in fic. But the ending is the last important part of that, so.)
I go back-and-forth on heist movies most of the time, but this one had cool (mostly) consistent sci-fi, a great cast with a great dynamic, and a woman who refused to let information come to her and went out to get it. And now that I've SEEN it, I'm having more fun romping through the fandom. I certainly understand more, at least!
Promise I'm not leaving Torchwood or anything. But even though I know Inception fandom is probably just as dead, it's nice to feel excited and knowing there's enough stuff on LJ/AO3 to not need tumblr. Also, everything I know about suits I learned from this Inception post. Someone linked to it way back when. As in intro to a fandom, it was clearly a good one.
