[meme] what has it got in its pocketses?

Shamelessly stealing mutedpoint's memes from the last few days. Apologies for the spam.

( What's Ariadne got? )

[meme] meta stuff

Again from mutedpoint. How did you come up with your character? Did they just seem to fit? Too cool to be true? Why'd you decide to play them, really? Verse too, if you wanna.

Your username? Or rather, the process of it. Did you reject some, wanted another one, only to have it snatched away by somebody else and had to think up a new one?

I saw the movie the day after it was released, on Saturday. I was driving home from the movie theatre and basically decided I needed to make an Ariadne journal. So, yeah.

What drew me to her? Her audacity, stubbornness, her refusal to be intimidated by all the big scary men with guns, the way she not only wasn't afraid of any of them, but she seemed to earn their respect and trust (as far as that goes), and hustled her way into Cobb's subconscious to kick his ass back into line when nobody else would.

In a word, Ariadne is a Hot Bitch In Charge.

(I also love her occasional moments of vulnerability - the juxtaposition of hubris with uncertainty was irresistible.)

As for the username, I think it was the first thing to pop into my head, and it being only the day after release, it wasn't taken, so I snagged it.

On a somewhat-related note, the userhead is a kitty cat, because Ariadne is often dangerously curious, and everyone knows that saying. Also, my cat is dangerously curious and is named Ariadne, so it's a neverending circle of meta.

[meme] collections

Does your character collect anything? What? Is there a reason for it?

She's not really much of a collector, but she does have enough scarves that she could probably wear a different one every day for a couple of months. Mostly thrift store finds - I honestly think it stems from a tendency to get cold in her workshop (also the constant red jacket) and she likes to have a little extra something around her neck.

Otherwise, nothing much really. I don't count the tools of her trade, but if you wanted to, you could say that she collects things, like... exacto knives.

[meme] what does it all mean?

If you had to explain the roles of the movie to other people who wouldn't have any context to base it off of, how would you do it?

This one's easy. Inception is, essentially, a movie about making movies.

Dom is the director, the guiding force, the creative drive of the group.

Arthur is the assistant director, the one responsible for every little practicality, to make sure everything gets done properly, under budget and on time.

Ariadne is the production designer.

Eames is an actor.

Yusuf is the special effects guy.

Saito is the producer - the one who puts up the money and oversees the operation.

Fischer is the audience - guided through the experience to an emotional catharsis.

Mal is Cobb's own inner demons, and all the obstacles to getting the movie done.

[meme] MASH!

( Oh my dear. )
