 And before I go to bed, here's a rant about Arthur and Eames that I wrote while my brain was breaking (not drunk or high or anything, just overworked and sleep-deprived).  It kind of shows.  I wouldn't recommend reading this, actually.

Yessssss, good point about the grenade launcher! I can see how people would label that as pigtail-pulling, but I can't help but see it as a show-off-y reaction to Arthur's general frustration. Like, competitive in the sense that footballers on the same team might act during practice.

Heh, I bet there's a handbook out there that says how one should deal with snipers. I wonder if 'get another sniper' is an accepted tactic...

Classy! Yes. That is the right word for it. And I keep getting distracted by that scene where they're hanging out in the hotel level and trying to figure out how to get Fischer under.

You're better than me :P I can't even quite place it as pigtail pulling. I saw it as complete, frustrated condecension and one-upmanship.
