Came across as pretty hoyay.

I can't say that it's ever occurred to me to think of it that way--but I guess I can see how it might give that impression.

You mean 'suggestive' in the sense of 'suggesting too much of what's to come' or in the older sense "suggestive" was often used for (of referring to sexual matters)? (The latter seems unlikely! But I'm curious about what you mean, here--maybe something entirely other than these guesses.)

I actually found all their scenes together to be highly erotic.

Brokeback Limbo.

I haven't seen this film in so fucking long, so I'm gonna lock myself in the home theater and reabsorb.

The only problem I had with it was how Cobb's reaction to Mal's death was cut short.

But now that I think about it, it makes me wonder whether extending that shot would have had a greater emotional effect or whether it would have cheapened the moment. I mean, just from the shot Nolan did use, my heart exploded, so what if the shot was longer? Would it have made it any deeper with emotion or would it have been too much? I'm not sure about this, it feels like a double-edged sword.

The was a decision made in editing, there was a longer scene shot. I got the impression Wally does a lot of coverage and other things, and the way a lot of Nolan's films are made is in editing and not a product of Wally necessarily. It's interesting to think about, especially with this scene.

Right, I'm not saying it was Wally's choice, but I guess I'm just contemplating how it would have been different if Nolan decided to edit that shot longer. I know a lot of people had an issue with that and wished it would have been a little longer. The more I think about it, the more I wonder whether the way it was cut was intention because it's more of an emotional sucker punch.

If that makes any sense lol

Word is after Cobb yells "Mal no!, jesus christ!! .. " As he leans forward his foot slips off the window sill and he falls out of the window but catches himself. He then pulls himself back inside the room whilst crying
