B) Actually, that particular aspect didn't bug me. The side characters weren't developed, but I don't think they felt flat. I think a lot of the dissatisfaction with Inception comes from how focused it is. A lot of critics pointed out things that bugged me (like the almost unrelenting somber tone) but ultimately, I don't hold them against the movie too much, because that's not the story Nolan was trying to tell. Granted, he probably could have traded some action scene time for something else, but I appreciated that the story was focused on Cobb. I may want a movie to push all my buttons, but I can't expect it.
C) Definitely! I started giggling in the movie when that occurred to me.
