Because books.
I think it was a tossup for me between Eames and Arthur. I loved the way they needled each other. Very cute.
And Marion Cotillard is just breathtakingly beautiful.

Also saw Inception this afternoon, and will definitely need to see this one again. I do agree it doesn't matter in the end if it's the "real" world or not. To quote Giles in Restless (probably imperfectly): "Oh, I get it now. It's all about the journey!"

Which one was Eames? What did he do in the story? I know it was the guy played by Tom Hardy, but for some reason, I'm having a hard time conjuring his character and his character's place in the story.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Well, that helps explain why I was having a hard time placing him. Half the time his character is on screen, he's played by someone else. Usually Tom Berringer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt blew me away. Tom Hardy was great too, and stole many of his scenes, but I came away wanting JGL in every movie ever. The scenes where he was basically on his own were some of the most compelling in the movie, even moreso considering the silence. Great physicality.

Yeah, I've been a JGL fan since he was a wee thing. I'm so glad to see him turn into such an amazing talent as an adult.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is pretty awesome. It's crazy fun and manages to bring a lot of the book directly to the screen. The secondary characters do get short-shrift because of the compressed timeline, but the actors do a lot with very little so they're all still memorable. The fight scenes are off-the-wall, and I have a feeling the movie will get panned by critics who have never played video games and don't know what to make of it.
I have mild nitpicks here and there, but fuck it, it was a good time.
