I'm amazed at how HUGE the Inception fandom is. Why the hell did that movie make so many people latch onto it? It is a good movie but it isn't like there is anything particularly...fannish about it.

Dreams, dudes in suits, lots of weird sexual tension

That should have been the tag line on the poster.

Hollywood marketing departments please hire me

ahahahah brilliant

Big cast with popular actors means lots of shipping possibilities, is my guess.

Other that Leonardo DiCaprio were any of the other actors that popular? They were somewhat known but I'd not call any of them a box office draw.

Certainly all nice to look at, though!

NAYRT

I don't think any of them were Leo DiCaprio-level superstars. But then again, very few people are. And (for instance Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Ellen Page are all very very well known and big stars that people really like a lot. It was a really strong cast.

Eh, I thought Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon-Levitt have fannish (if not box office) followings?

Now they do. The only 'big' roles Tom Hardy did before Inception were Rocknrolla and Bronson. Both have a cult following but I'd not call them mainstream movies.

Not sure about JGL.

That's right, wasn't Arthur/Eames the big ship in that fandom? I remember being confused because neither of those characters made a big impression on me.

They both have really interesting vibes as actors and I feel like that particular ship was like lightning in a bottle in that regard

It has a plot which pretends is deep. People love it when they can appear deep and mysterious.

I only watched it for Cillian. I wasn't overly impressed with the plot, to be honest.

I still have no idea.

I liked the movie well-enough but it never came off as that shippy to me at all, but I got people shipping stuff 'cause fandom's gonna fandom, but how big it was and long it went on for surprised me. That fandom had some impressive staying power.

I'm also confused. I didn't think it was that good - somewhat enjoyable but a little pretentious. Maybe because "dream" media has been done so often, my bar was a bit higher.

Plus, I didn't think anyone in it was that hot, and there wasn't any proper homoerotic tension. I have no idea what the supposed fandom is surviving off of.

I didn't even think it was a good movie.

The fact that the characters aren't especially well developed, I think it was pretty easy for people to latch onto and write the characters however best fit their wants and needs.

At least, I recall that being an argument for the fandom's popularity when I was in it way back when.
