has anyone seen Primer?
If not, its amazing. Well written, well shot, and damn interesting.
If someone already posted this about this movie, sorry i must've missed the thread...

Never heard of it, but I just looked it up and it sounds cool enough.
Budget was $7000? That's just retarded.
Guess I'll add it to the ol' Netflix queue.

my brother told me to go get it - he said it's one of those movies he started again right after it finished.
i have yet to see it - though this may push me over and i'll get it tonight.

yah, you hafta watch it at least twice. it really is a brilliant film. Somewhat eerie with th philosophical implications of ideas put forth.
as for the 7K budget, you wouldnt even notice, i couldnt believe 7K could make that kind of movie. talk about a return, im sure that net him some funds to make another great flick!

im going to netflix it but man if it sucks im going to come back to it on here and scream. im worried for two reasons:
1. it says it's a sundance grand prize winner and i just saw some movie called in the soup that was the same and it was so bad in so many ways i had to turn it off half way through.
2. netflix said that if i liked primer i would also like memento, a film that i hate so very deeply words alone cannot describe.
so, we'll see.

One of the worst offenders of "I'm trying way too hard". Complete nonsense story? How could anyone like this movie?
For some reason I loved it though.

If you don't like Memento we might be in for some screaming. I really liked Primer because of all those times I have been sitting around bsing with my friends about how movies are so bad and we should get together and make a movie. The director/writer/actor Sahne Carruth, actually did that and made a damn good entertaining/smart (probably trying to hard) film.

What's there to hate about Memento? My interest is piqued.

Memento sucked. And don't bother watching "Elephant" either because that sucks too except for the last 20 minutes in which the kids go on a killing spree in their school.

If you hate Memento then don't bother trying to watch quality films that are actually interesting. Just go rent Armegeddon for the 10th time.

Armagedden sucked.
