grassangelI saw it.
Somewhere, there is a very unhappy Dream wondering what the hell is happening to his realm. There also needs to be more crossover fic with HOLiC as well as stuff exploring thaumaturgical architecture/architectural thaumaturgy and the Khloidanikos (from the Doctrine of Labyrinths series).
It was not that confusing. I survived and manage to help map out a timeline for Tsubasa. Inception is... comparable, but doesn't involve nearly as many stable time loops or paradoxical almost incestuous relationships. Um... it may have also helped I went expecting it to be "IT WAS ALL A DREAM" and thus it was a bit less than what I had expected.
Cobb needed/needs therapy. I was expecting the children to be older. I was also expecting Mal to have died while dreaming.
Very relieved that Ariadne (and isn't that a lovely reference-filled name) didn't become The Love Interest. She also almost gave Cobb slaps around the head, which he needed.
I was expecting Ariadne and Cobb to have been taught things in regard to pyschology. This is not true, but again comparable.
Architecture is like genjutsu. And Ariadne could've always become a writer with a twisty imagination like that. (Third option FTW.)
All the dreams were kind of like Amy's Choice. That was cool.
Eames and Arthur were awesome. Also, waistcoat!porn.
I find the end suspect.
I too, would also buy this movie on DVD.
Also a very odd movie if you can, or have ever, lucid dreamed. You find yourself mentally shouting at the screen about denying the situation and just willing a change.
The sensation of exiting a dream is also more like falling [into a black hole and becoming infinitesimaly dense], not falling prompts the exiting of a dream.

And please, feel free to tell her she's a genius - that was excellent. :D

You'd have to wait for me to write that DoL/HOLiC crossover though, as the Doctrine of Labyrinths fandom is very small and doesn't do much fic. But now I have IDEAS.
Do try finding the series. About half of it is sadly out of print in some form or another, but a good library should have it. Look up 'Melusine', 'The Virtu', 'The Mirador' and 'Corambis' as the series doesn't have the series name printed ANYWHERE on the books.
Also, the author, Sarah Monette, is on Livejournal as well (
