You're A Smart Man, Mr Eames

[bookshop]

It's a testament to how continually amazing this fandom is that you can make a prompt on a kink meme and it turns into a the most epic block party discussion EVER, complete with phenomenal fanfic attached as a bonus. I'm just in AWE. This post is for all of you

Wow. The thing about the air duct, and the defibrillator. That's. I hadn't realized.

SO DUDE. YOU BASICALLY QUOTED ALL OF EAMES' LINES, MAN. LMAO. Love that. He's not just for comic relief. Though he did help. HE WAS ACTUALLY FRICKIN ACE.

And unf, Jungian archetypes. Methinks Eames is also well-read if that's the case. Like, classics and shit. Not so much the modern lit. Though I dunno how to factor in the "spelling" issue if that were true. Unless Cobb is just being an ass.

Granted they are in a hospital so Ariadne could have just designed it in as a matter of course, but Eames still knew exactly where it was without needing to look.

(I don't really see Eames as the type to read classics! I see him more a Bukowski sort. and obviously futurist Russian poets :D)

[bronson]

Yeah, exactly. Unless Ariadne explained that too. But, did Ariadne really create all the details of that level? I mean, Eames dreamed it, didn't he? Ariadne was just in charge of the layout and the ~paradoxes~ and the general maze-ness of it. Even though, uh, they bypass the whole thing in the end anyway.

(True, true. LULZ FUTURIST RUSSIAN POETS. Yeah, that's totally fanon now, man.)

[bronson]

OOOH. Yeah. Yeah that makes sense. I'll totes go with that. Cobb just being a post-colonial American taking potshots at the weird spelling of their former colonists. The bastards~

[darth_fez]

With the spelling thing - I thought Cobb was commenting on his forging? Eames was losing all his chips, but he still had two big stacks that he got changed for money and as Cobb said the line about the spelling he had a big glace at the chips. I assumed that Eames had made copies of the chips with just one or two wrong letters like people do with fake Prada etc.

Y/N? :)

BUY IT ON DVD, BB.

Well. I dunno. Pirated DVDs of em are everywhere here and I got a copy. MAYBE I UPLOAD IT ON MEGAUPLOAD OR SOMEWHERE? :"> FOR JOO TO DOWNLOAD?

[bronson]

OKAY JUST HOLD ON, BB. UPLOADING RN.

AND I TOTALLY JUST BOUGHT A PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP JUST SO I DON'T HAVE TO SPLIT THIS SHIT IN 098234908345 PIECES CAUSE I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HJSPLIT FOR SHIT. T_T

[bronson]

OKAY JUST, UH, IT'S GONNA TAKE LIKE 8 HOURS APPARENTLY. T_T

I like to think Eames can't be buggered to spell correctly when it's not important. Like, that's why he's not Arthur: he can let things go. But I believe he's absolutely meticulous about his forgings and his research.

[bronson]

This. Is true. This will be my canon.
