Oh thank you thank you. Amuse-bouche is exactly what I want for Eames/Arthur. My sense is that Inception won't hold up to a five-course slow food meal, being also a kind of amuse-bouche, but in the way of American food turned into entree. In fact I thought that little short story you wrote a long time ago, about the bloggers in their little bubbles, had a lot more heft and possibilities.
