Inception!

[seren_ccd]

Finally saw Inception. And in case you were wondering? Yes. It is that good.



1. I ship everyone. I want to read Ariadne/Dom (I need more of this pairing!) and Arthur/Ariadne. BUT, I want to WRITE Ariadne/Fischer. I've got an entire story outlined to be written sometime.

2. I really, really, really want a film where Leo DiCaprio gets the girl. How many films has he done in which his significant other kills herself? I'd almost like to see him try his hand at a comedy. Perferably with Kate Winslet.

3. I would like to do unseemly things to Cillian Murphy's jawline.



And now back to my Big Bang!

I saw it too, finally! How good looking was Eames? Very, I think you find the answer is. I'm not a DiCaprio fan, but I was impressed with him.

I wasn't so impressed with the ending, though; it seemed a bit predictable to me. Maybe I've had to mark too many stories from eleven year olds that end 'and it was all a dream' to accept that from Christopher Nolan!

I think I preferred 'The Prestige', on the whole. Plus, it has Hugh Jackman. Always a plus, in my book!

What I would pay to see is 'The Making of Inception', though. I'd love to see how they did the hallway scenes in the hotel.

Oh, the fellow playing Eames is yummy. I want him to just talk to me all day.

I so agree about the 'Making of'. I can't wait to see if the DVD release has any special features. I did see some of an interview with 'Arthur' saying that this was the most physically demanding role he'd ever done.

The hallway scenes must have been done with an aeroplane doing a parabolic curve over and over and over, take after take. It's how movies usually achieve the zero-g look. For space movies, sometimes they'll put 'em underwater, but I think in this case it was definitely the parabolic curve. The functionality of it has to do with physics - at the vertex of a parabolic curve, gravity won't exert any force on you. It's why you feel weightless on a loop-de-loop of a rollercoaster.

The scene where Ariadne (Ellen Page) and Dom walk up the road is also a really fun and interesting way of doing that. Chances are, they build a box to duplicate the scene (or to greenscreen it in) and then put that box on a great big rotator, with the camera permanently positioned on the "ground". When Leo and Ellen were walking, the box rotated so that it looked like they were walking "up" when in reality gravity never changed but the camera perspective did. There's a five-minute commentary about it on the pilot for Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman where they talk about how they filmed a scene where Clark walked "up" a wall.

But yes, a making of would be an amazing featurette.

Shiny! I'm avoiding the spoilery bits because I still haven't seen it.

Yay! for big bang!

Oh, it was very, very good. I'm still sort of giddy from how much I enjoyed watching it. :D

I've been having similar shipping issues... I've been reading tons of Arthur/Eames (which, let me say, this fandom is very generous with) and Dom/Mal and Ariadne/Arthur(and/or Eames). That said, I want to write Ariadne/Mal, Dom/Mal, Eames/Yusuf and lots and lots of gen.
I actually find I'm kind of happy about this, because I was a bit afraid that reading too much fic too quickly would kind of wash-out my own ideas of the characters with fandom's ideas of the characters, but since what I want to write isn't what I'm reading, it's worked out pretty well so far. Of course, I would actually have to write something for it to matter.

And that got a bit long...erm. Sorry?

Oh, I love the multi-ship possibilities of this fandom. The fic already coming out is quite good.

WRITE IT!!! Moar fic, pls, pls!!!
