*headdesk* Inception will eat my life...

My movie buddy and I have three points of contention:

1. We counted swear words on the third viewing. I counted five, starting with Arthur's 'asshole' on the train in Japan. She counted three, starting with a 'dammit' in Saito's palace when they were trying to steal from him.

2. She believes that Cobb, Arthur, and Eames all worked together before (true) and that we get told about it during to movie (false). She keeps referring to a scene in the van, which is the 'Mr. Charles' discussion, and Eames was clearly not in on that job, or he'd have known what it was and why it didn't work. But he didn't. So he wasn't. And I have the script to back me up here!

3. During the 'dream a little bigger, darling' scene, Eames whips a grenade launcher up. She insists that he took Arthur's rifle and turned it into the launcher. I say no, Arthur still had his rifle. Eames made the grenade launcher out of his gun. He's a Forger, so he can do this. Clearly. (We know they can change the dreams, because they do. They just try not to do it too often, because it will draw the projections and/or alert the subject that they're dreaming, and then they'll 'die'. This doesn't apply here, since the projections are already after them.)

These may only be solved when the bluray comes out (or I get the magically appearing thing that might magically become mine if I can find a blank dvd to give to someone I may or may not know).

Inception Shooting Script Notes

I liked it a lot. Very interesting. It didn't help me understand the movie any better, but since I don't misunderstand the movie, that wasn't an issue. Anyway.

Things which I note:

In the original 'sketch' of the descent into the layers of dreams, Eames was supposed to be the dreamer for the second level, with Arthur as the dreamer on the third. I can't help but overlay the movies levels onto that layout, and keep thinking that 'it doesn't work'. I assume the layers would have been different if they'd kept the original plan. But then would we have had Arthur being awesome and fighting people in zero-g?

The dialogue in the hotel room, when they're all going to sleep, between Arthur and Eames?

Eames: *quietly concerned* Security's going to run you down hard.

Arthur: *trying to be reassuring and cute* And I will lead them on a merry chase.

Eames: *grinning like a lovestruck fool* Just be back in time for the kick.

Arthur: *FONDLY AND WITH AN ADORABLE SMIRK OF ADORABLENESS* Go to sleep, Mr. Eames.

Was originally between Arthur and Cobb, and was not as awesome. It seems very business like in the script. Of course, you lose the nuances and such that actors add, which makes the script not as much fun, in general, imho, but still, I think that the scene works magnitudes better between Arthur and Eames. Of course, I might be biased. Maybe.

Fic note so I don't lose it

Fic around the phrase 'R.E.A. - Reckless Endangerment of Arthur'. Clearly this will be Eames thinking/saying/etc. this about Cobb's treatment and use of Arthur. Perhaps in info. gathering in the real world? Since danger (typically) in dreams, is not actually dangerous. Traumatising, sure. But it won't actually kill you.

edit: Note to Self: Please stop writing fic at work. You have actual work to do.
