Fan Girl Wannabe

Last weekend, I finally saw Inception.  Watched it "On Demand" with DH.  We were hurting for viewing material, and couldn't find anything we both agreed on until this popped up on the menu. 
DH said, "buh? what is it?" 
I did not say, "it's on my list of at least 10 fandoms I'm reading without benefit of canon." 
I did not say, "all the fangirls love the Eames/Arthur." 
I said, "it's supposed to be good, you'll like it.  It's sci-fi, I'll like it." 

So we really enjoyed it.  Lots of action, starts in media res, which was a format I apparently liked even before I found fandom.  It must have come from the mysteries (Nancy Drew, et al).  I used to eat those up as a kid, and there was always the challenge of figuring out something that wasn't being shown directly. Someone once said to me that she couldn't get into the Vorkosigan 'verse because she always felt like she didn't really know the canon.  She was speaking about the actual canon, and the way Bujold tells a story by revealing bits of "known" history randomly, instead of building an orderly backstory from the outset.  /tangent

Anyway, it was a complex, and well-told story.  Lots of layers, just like dreaming.  It's compelling enough to make you keep thinking about it afterward and want to watch it again right away, because you know you'll take away something new on the rewatch.

( Is it really spoilers if you're probably the last person to see it? )
I'm enjoying the Eames/Arthur, but it's so removed from my experience of the movie, it's more like I'm reading original smut stories with characters of the same name.
