So. Inception.


Joseph Gordon Levitt. Oh, how I have loved your, talented, skinny, stoner vest-wearing ass since 10 Things I Hate About You. You in suits is porn for my eyes. You are the only quasi-hipster on this earth that makes me think, "I would so tap that ass." YOU WERE FUCKING AWESOME.

Cillian Murphy. You are my Theodore Nott. I have loved you long time. You have been off doing arty business and then you show up. With a spray on-tan and I still love you. And that mouth. And those eyes. WEARING SUSPENDERS. There aren't even words for what happened in my pants.

The same goes for you Tom Hardy, most fabulous one from Layer Cake. Side note: If you have never seen Layer Cake do not pass go, go directly to Netflix.

Ken Watanabe. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOUR FINE ASS WAS IN THIS MOVIE. HOW SO AWESOME AND KICKASS?

AND THE SUITS.

OH MY GOD, THE SUITS.

Do you all know how I feel about menswear? I feel like you do not know. Do you really know? Have you read my 125 page odes to men's clothes? Fine menswear is pornography to me. All eleven letters of that word. It is kink. Fetish. Catnip. Kryptonite.

Ovary-quivering, palpitation-inducing, excuse me if I pet you in the elevator beauty at its best.

You wonder what turns hackthis' crank? Nice suits. Pristine silk ties. A crisp oxford shirt. A gorgeous wool blend fabric. Platinum cufflinks. The perfect line at the waist. At the shoulder. The way the hem breaks across a nice Italian loafer.

And this movie.

With it's clothes and it's mind-fucking, now you see it now you don't, now you get it, now you're like, WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?

This movie was the goddamn business.

Finally a movie that lives up to its promise. It's the first movie I've seen all year that made me go, "I AM GLAD SOMEBODY MADE THIS MOVIE. EVERYBODY SHOULD SEE THIS MOVIE." Apparently I'm at the point where I only recommend one (1) movie a year (last year it was The Hurt Locker*). I believe that this year, this is that movie.

*Speaking of Jeremy Renner, how the hell is he trying to get me to watch a Ben Affleck movie and succeeding? That is power.

I didn't even mind Leonardo DiCaprio's greasy ass. That's how good this movie was.

And Lukas Haas. I heard you'd been rehabbed, but you're still as greasy and strung-out looking as ever.

The minute Inception was over I was planning my next viewing. That's how good this movie was.

I want some Arthur/Eames fic. I want Saito fic. Tell me about Yusef and all his chemistry. I needs the precious. I need Inception fic, bitches.

moneyfolder said that people on the interwebs have theories about this movie. About when the dreams started and what actually happened. Was Cobb dreaming from the first sedation or was the whole movie an inception. Did the top ever stop spinning after the fade to black (did anybody else's theatre lose a collective AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!) To be honest though? I don't care. I just want some goddamn fic for this shit.


Dear Christopher Nolan,

From my first viewing of Memento (Guy Pearce, where are you?) I knew yours was a mind to be appreciated. Adored. Cossetted. The Batman reboot. The Prestige. Where you lead I will follow. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU LEAD ME TO MIND FUCKING BRILLIANCE. I cover you in sparkles and unicorns and shit.

Love,

X

p.s. I am gonna say though, the van going off the bridge and the resulting editing, of that slow mo fall over and over again kind of grated. And Ellen Page, sadly, your character got on my NERVES, but I really appreciated the Greek mythology angle shout out by naming you Ariadne. And the rest was spec-fucking-tacular.

For reals. ♥

So what your saying is... I should go watch this movie, right? :)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I mean I suppose. If you like smart, well-thought out, visually stunning and beautifully acted movies. But you know, those aren't for everyone :)

[thebunnyknows.livejournal.com]

Arthur/Eames for the win!! My girlfriend and I walked out of the theatre in love with their epic slap/slap/kiss bromance. Fic. It needs to happen. I'm so glad she mase me go see that movie!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You should do something to show your gratitude. What? I'm just saying. She could've taken you to see something really bad!

[spasticat.livejournal.com]

Howdy from the past...just a goofy note to say I had a wacky dream where we were meeting up for dinner but ended up walking around LA. Okay, maybe not wacky...but it totally came out of the blue.

Regarding men in suits...GUH! Makes my brain melt. Cannot wait to see the men in suits in this movie. Hopefully this week...

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

HI! *waves* And definitely see the movie this week if you can, it's awesome.

[redheadaholic.livejournal.com]

But did you like it?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

It was okay I suppose. ;)

[thetinydemon.livejournal.com]

Someone needs to write Arthur/Eamus now. For the good of humanity.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

WORD. I have to see it again, so I can formulate real thoughts on this besides. Hot. Pretty. Clothes. Sex now?

[snowybaby.livejournal.com]

a) I wanted to go see this movie. after reading you're review, i'm going to see it tonight! b) as a reward for informing your lj buddies of the awesomeness that is inception, i was going to create a picspam just for you: (gorgeous) men in (gorgeous) suits. i will do this eventually, but i got distracted by the images that popped up as i was doing a search for joseph gordon-levitt. jeez louise. check these out...


LAST BUT NOT LEAST, YOU'VE GOTTA CHECK OUT THIS PHOTOSHOOT FOR GQ. IT'S TITLED TIE ME UP, TIE ME DOWN: WEAR IT NOW (http://www.gq.com/style/wear-it-now/200803/joseph-gordon-levitt-claudia-schiffer-paris). IT'S NOT EXACTLY SFW, BUT IT COMPLETELY GAVE ME... IDEAS :) PREVIEW BELOW...

(http://www.gq.com/style/wear-it-now/200803/joseph-gordon-levitt-claudia-schiffer-paris-slideshow#slide=1)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

YES. THIS. THIS IS... THIS. This is what I have always appreciated about him. Talent. And Hotness. And I remember seeing the Claudia Schiffer photo shoot and just wanting to choke her out so I could replace her.

Too dramatic?

[aubade-saudade.livejournal.com]

yeah, i'm the same way. it's like suits are men's version of lingerie for me. idk. my version of strip tease would go in reverse. i'd have a suit all laid out and a naked man, and when he got to the bit where he puts on the cuff links ... hawt.

i loved JGL in 10 things and then when i saw Mysterious Skin? (have you seen that? if you haven't you should see it, you should see it hard) i'm like Bella for this dude, ngl. he's perfect and beautiful to me, though i have no explanation for the fact that he's Jewish and yet looks like he's Keanu's little cousin or something.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I have seen Mysterious Skin. I saw it four/five years ago and I am still traumatized. I would never watch that again. I found it horrifying and just thinking about it makes me want to hide behind the sofa.

Having said all of that though, I am a big fan of the reverse strip tease, yes.

[http://users.livejournal.com/xenakis_/]

OMG SO GOOD.

Also, I want Arthur/Anybody like, yesterday.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Arthur was just fabulous, wasn't he? Your icon says it all.

inception

[ewanmax.livejournal.com]

been waiting for probably 6 months to just be there. saw it last night at a bistro where you drink great wine, eat salmon and hummusall before a peanut butter pie and then just fall into the movie slightly buzzed and feeling oh so amazing.
Love Joseph Gordon Levitt and just wowwwwww
and although you may not like leo I do and he did good
seeing it again tomorrow just to get another opportunity to stare and sit in awe, without the bistro

Re: inception

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

It was really good. I was impressed.

[plumtastic.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm so glad to hear this! (I'm also waving a wild hand in support of fine suits!)

They've been showing that one promo so hard, and all I could really focus on was the really awesome score and the giant train. And then I saw an alterna-promo that actually included Cillian and Joseph Gordon Levitt and omg, hinted at a PLOT and why did TPTB wait so long to show that one?

Anyway, thanks, and really, the powers should just take the above happy flail and make *it* into a promo.

Making my appointment to go see it this week. :)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

And then I saw an alterna-promo that actually included Cillian and Joseph Gordon Levitt and omg, hinted at a PLOT and why did TPTB wait so long to show that one?

They didn't even SHOW Ken Watanabe in any of the promos, which was just cruel. But this was just very good and I was very pleased.

[rjunkie.livejournal.com]

I've been obsessed with this movie ever since I read about the casting shortly after The Dark Knight was released. I saw the midnight screening on Thursday in IMAX, and saw it again at 10:30am on Friday. That was after I stayed up the entire night thinking about the movie. I would have seen it again today except if I didn't have to work. Sad? No. AWESOME.

Also, re: JGL, did you ever watch him as a kid in <3rd Rock from the Sun? He was great even then. Hurrah for talented child actors who stay awesome.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I was never into 3rd Rock, but JGL is just crazy awesome. I cannot wait to see Inception again.

[shaney.livejournal.com]

Arthur/Eames please, universe, don't let me down.

Truly a movie that singlehandedly made me remember why I love movie watching so much.

I also started planning my second viewing the moment I finished, and my audience kind of went "ARGH!!!" at the ending, and there was applause. I was so tense throughout the whole film and so tired after being mind fucked for 2 hours.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Apparently there is a comm already. I know nothing about it, apart from the fact that it exists. eames_arthur.

I also started planning my second viewing the moment I finished, and my audience kind of went "ARGH!!!" at the ending, and there was applause.

My sentiments exactly.

[moneyfolder.livejournal.com]

To be honest though? I don't care.

ahahaha exactly. I mean, I don't care if it's 'supposed' to go one way or another, it's just fascinating to think about all the possibilities. I started to wonder if Chris Nolan knew exactly what he was doing - like, if he anticipated all the permutations of the story or if some things are just coincidence/overanalyzing by fans. I mean, a movie like this depends so much on the editing as well, bc stuff that's left out might be intentionally so or by accident, and ahhhhhh. Mindfucked!

Also, SUITS. SO MANY WELL-TAILORED SUITS. There's this set of pictures of Ryan Gosling filming a movie (with Steve Carell? I think?), and he's wearing what is possibly the best fitting suit I've ever seen.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I would not put anything past Chris Nolan at this point. The man knows how to make people be obsessive. And mind-fucked. And crave more. I suspect that's part of my appreciation for him, that instead of doing every movie he's offered, he makes sure it's something he wants to do that reflects him.

Ryan Gosling. Best fitting suit? I can haz photos?!

[oboros.livejournal.com]

loved the whole movie. Must watch again & again just for the visual beauty if nothing else. PLUS to see if there are more twists. Yes the suits were amazing. much love to Cillian Murphy & Joseph Gordon Levitt. The Fischer story with the safe at the end... quite touching.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I agree with everything you said. The seeing the little pinwheel in the safe was just the sweetest thing!

[mrs-eames.livejournal.com]

(talented, skinny, stoner vest-wearing ass) - haha. You're funny. He really is adorable. I never found him attractive until this movie actually. Strange.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the wonderful of JGL. He's fabulous.

[slickmc.livejournal.com]

I am now over-the-top excited about watching this movie. First thing I do when I get back to America, after eating a cheeseburger. Perhaps I could do both at the same time?

Pin-stripes make me swoon.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Bring the burger with you! Bring two! And some fries. And a big soda.

[bunnymcfoo.livejournal.com]

About half an hour into this movie, I was struck by an overwhelming need to see if there was Arthur/Eames fic on the internet yet.

OMG, INTERNET, GIVE UP THE GOODS. *holds upsidedown and shakes*


Also, yes, my entire theater went "AAAAAAHHHHH" at the end, and when I, after about 15 seconds of staring at the credits, blurted out "Christopher Nolan, you are a fucking evil genius" about ten people around me started laughing. I TOTALLY STAND BY THIS SENTIMENT.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I told someone above that there's a comm for this: eames_arthur, but I don't know anything about it. I have to see the movie again though, you know, for research purposes.

WORD!

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

It was a pretty nifty movie. I am totally on the Joseph Gordon Levitt train. Also, did you notice he also wore suspenders with his suit? In the hotel scene, with all the spinning.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

He wore suspenders with his vest? That seems a bit much. I know Cillian had suspenders though. I will have to investigate this further when I see it again. :)

[juliandahling.livejournal.com]

All very very true. I loooooooved this movie. Only thing I wanted more of was information about the tech, because I'm a hardcore nerd. But, yes, I am so shipping Eames/Arthur!!!! And I'm super glad to see that Tom Hardy's getting some more mainstream recognition. Did you see Bronson? That was a fucking brill film.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I have not seen this Bronson you speak of! *goes off to imdb*

[maurheti.livejournal.com]

...!!

Dude. I still can't be even vaguely coherent about this movie. Cannot.

Also, word on the Jeremy Renner business.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I understand. I really understand.

[ghostrunner7.livejournal.com]

BRB, salivating over JGL in that goddamn vest.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

He was just... and it... and I was like...

Yeah.

[missdunham.livejournal.com]

I WANT TOM HARDY IN MY LIFE!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Isn't he fabulous?

[cobweb-diamond.livejournal.com]

HOLY SHITBALLS IT WAS SO GOOD. And the suits! THE SUITS! You have perfectly articulated my precise feelings regarding Joseph Gordon-Levitt kicking ass while wearing fine tailoring.

Eames/Arthur must occur posthaste. HURRY UP, INCEPTION KINK MEME.

I, too, am planning a second viewing. This movie makes my braing so, so happy.

[snarkathon.livejournal.com]

Longtime hackthis stalker fan here, popping up to tell you that inception_kink exists, and there are lots and lots of Arthur/Eames fics in the meme.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Ive been waiting to read this post for nearly a Mon - and to read your reams of Inception fic - because I just could not get to the theater to see it amid tones of travels and visitors from out of town and I saw it last night and yay there is so much loveliness for me to catch up on!

Btw, Cillian Murphy is the Regulus Black that lives in my head and heart but he and Theodore Nott are probably third or fourth cousins so that can work out okay, right?

Fic! Fic! Off to read your fic!

[apagon.livejournal.com]

Haha, yes, you are right, nicely tailored suits are hot... I really hope you do send that letter to chris nolan, he'll probably find it refreshing :D

*runs off to read your undoubtedly mind-blowing inception fics*
