If You Liked The Book, You'll Hate The Movie

Wed, 23 Jan 2013 15:36:56 +0100

You should really read: If You Liked The Book, You’ll Hate The Movie

Because: They all have their issues (doesn’t everyone?) and having Erik Lensherr, the worst guidance couselor ever (who is suprisingly good at his job), as your therapist really isn’t going to help anyone. Especially since Erik has his own problems.

Dreams Are For Rookies

Tue, 15 Jan 2013 00:48:00 +0100

You should really read: Dreams Are For Rookies

Because: This is Ariadne’s fault. Of course it is! Arthur never even told her he liked Eames, but she knows, of course. It’s Ariadne. That’s just how best friends are.

And now Arthur is locked in a closet with Eames. Great.

so you were never a saint

You should really read: so you were never a saint

Because: This is simply a story about Q’s life. Which includes poker nights with MI6 agents, knitting, his best friend Eve, a 00 agent who wants to be his friend (now that’s a terrifying development) and pop culture references, because Q takes his pop culture references very seriously.

Yes. This is simply a story about Q’s life.

just a love to endure

Wed, 14 Nov 2012 15:57:30 +0100

You should really read: just a love to endure

Because: Eduardo is sick of seeing Mark’s stupid face everywhere. He writes Mark a text to tell him just that. He doesn’t send it of course, but he keeps writing texts after that. It’s not like Mark will read any of them.

The Giraffe Notes

Wed, 14 Nov 2012 12:00:46 +0100

You should really read: The Giraffe Notes

Because: Jesse used to write notes to Andrew when they were still in High School. He feels terrible for not doing more, but his therapist insists it doesn’t count as an actual childhood trauma. Luckily Andrew isn’t mad at him. Quite the contrary.

Run Program DUM-E

Tue, 13 Nov 2012 16:09:30 +0100

You should really read: Run Program DUM-E

Because: DUM-E is kind of old and only has one arm, but he tries to take care of Tony. This task gets significantly easier when DUM-E has Steve’s help.

Pangea

Tue, 13 Nov 2012 16:03:11 +0100

You should really read: Pangea

Because: Mark makes a park full of dinosaurs, Sean Parker is a douche, Eduardo becomes a Mommy, Dustin makes Jurassic Park references and they all search a name for the park.

In other words

Sun, 11 Nov 2012 12:02:18 +0100

You should really read: In other words

Because: Dustin likes Chris. Dustin isn’t very good with this kind of stuff. The fact that Chris thinks Dustin is joking everytime he brings it up is not helping.

Body Language

Sat, 10 Nov 2012 12:02:18 +0100

You should really read: Body Language

Because: Mark doesn’t know how to read people, they are so cryptic. Chris helps him figure things out and Mark figures some things about Chris out.

I practiced falling off buildings and out windows

Fri, 09 Nov 2012 12:00:47 +0100

You should really read: I practiced falling off buildings and out of windows

Because: Dustin ist in love with Chris. He knows this, has known this for a long time, but as it turns out things aren’t that clear cut all the time.

Is it really that weird to want to be with two people? And how much weirder is it to want to be with three people?

A Little Foolishness and a Lot of Curiosity

Thu, 08 Nov 2012 17:06:00 +0100

You should really read: A Little Foolishness and a Lot of Curiosity

Because: Arthur is different. He genuinely enjoys action movies and doesn’t like to participate in their debates and he is probably the least pretentious person Eames knows.

Too bad that foreign poetry doesn’t seem to work on Arthur.

Shelter

Thu, 08 Nov 2012 12:01:05 +0100

You should really read: Shelter

Because: Jesse is a dishwasher. He doesn’t understand why Andrew - movie star Andrew Garfield- would want to go out with him. And he can’t anyways. He has to take care of Hallie-Kate, he has to study, to get a good job (doesn’t matter that he doesn’t like what he does. There are more important things than what Jesse wants.)

Simple Math

Wed, 07 Nov 2012 12:00:49 +0100

You should really read: Simple Math

Because: They’re just pretending to be together for a few weeks. It’s no big deal. Eames is not that great as a boyfriend anyways. He is certainly not a better boyfriend than Arthur is.

The Heartache and the hope

Wed, 07 Nov 2012 09:34:17 +0100

You should really read: The Heartache and the Hope

Because: Do you know what might be a worse scandal than the White House being seen as a web of tangled steamy affairs? Letting Mark go on a talk show on Fox news.

Pour raconter les follies

Tue, 06 Nov 2012 12:01:02 +0100

You should really read: Pour raconter les follies

Because: Everyone is so stupid. Mark has to make fun of them. Chris is glad that he doesn’t do it in english at least.

Ten Cups Of Coffee

Mon, 05 Nov 2012 15:50:00 +0100

You should really read: Ten Cups Of Coffee

Because: Andrew is nice and Jesse looks like a trainwreck. That’s why Andrew draws hearts on Jesse’s cups Jesse is sure. And he has to concentrate on his dissertation anyways.

Gelatin Silver

Sun, 04 Nov 2012 13:51:00 +0100

You should really read: Gelatin Silver

Because: The dark room is a secret. He doesn’t want too share it. The dark room is important. The dark room is real. He does not want Eames to flirt with him in the dark room, because the flirting isn’t real.

Tranquilize

Sun, 04 Nov 2012 13:46:08 +0100

You should really read: Tranquilize

Because: Mark can defend himself, the promised protection is not why he took the case. The money is good, but that’s not why he took the case either. No one really understands why he took the case (though they think they do).

Mark never told anyone what happened. And he doesn’t intend to.

It’s just another case.

I've Got Nothing To Do Today But Smile (The Only Living Boy in New York)

Sat, 03 Nov 2012 14:04:00 +0100

You should really read:I’ve Got Nothing To Do Today But Smile (The Only Living Boy in New York)

Because: Arthur is a lawyer and it’s aweful. Eames, who owns the coffee shop across the street, makes his days a little better.

But when your work is your life things are bound to go wrong some day.

From Cover to Cover

Fri, 02 Nov 2012 22:17:15 +0100

You should really read: From Cover to Cover

Because: Mark’s books are amazing, really. Eduardo was basically halfway in love with him before they even met. It only went downhill from there.

Mark is a famous novelist, Eduardo is his agent.
