I've got INCEPTION on my mind... in particular, Arthur and Eames. Mmmm. I figure some of you all might be similarly, uh, interested, so here are some Arthur/Eames stories I've enjoyed:

I haven't actually seen the movie. Will I be totally confused?

Um! OK, quick primer. The movie is essentially a heist movie about a team of criminals who enter and manipulate people's dreams to get information - or pass on information. The gentlemen in question are:

* Arthur, who's the point man, which in this case seems to mean details guy. He wears beautiful crisply creased suits and seems sort of high-strung and doesn't display much of a sense of humor and is played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

* Eames is a "forger" which means in a dream he can appear to be anyone. Basically a master of dream-disguise. He's a loud, flirtatious Brit who likes pushing Arthur's buttons. They snipe at each other throughout the movie and it's beyond adorable. He's played by Tom Hardy and Tom Hardy's amazing mouth.

I think that's all you need to know! The other members of the team are Cobb, the boss, played by Leo DiCaprio, Ariadne, who designs dream-spaces and is an architect, played by Ellen Page, Yusuf, played by Dileep Rao, a chemist who puts together the concoctions that allow them to enter dreams, and Saito (Ken Watanabe) who hires them for the gig the movie is about. Together they fight crime do crime!

I'm still waiting for a decent download to appear somewhere, since everyone I know has already seen it! I will watch eventually, but since the fic is EVERYwhere I'm thinking I'll break my rules about Canon before Fanon.

I am a huge fan of JG-L, and though I've always been fairly indifferent to Tom Hardy in other things, I hear they're fairly epic in this together. YAY. Thank you for the primer!
