primer!

[rmd]

i just got back from the SF30 24 hour movie marathon (actually, we cut out early before the last movie since things were running late and we'd both seen the george pal "time machine" a few times so didn't mind missing it). most intruiging film we saw there: "primer"

it apparently won awards at the sundance film festival. it's complicated, and after it was over i kind of wanted to see it again to figure out what the heck happened. not like that david lynch "mulholland drive" kind of reaction, where you call someone up and say "hey, have you seen this movie? because i just saw it. what's it about?" more like a memento sort of "wait, does this all hold together?" reaction.

I had a great time watching Primer and trying to figure out if it hung together or not.

I'm looking forward to seeing it come out on dvd, so I can watch it some more and study it. Good stuff.

I was down visiting qmarq, and he was insisting I see this film, ideally
more than once. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled.

I got to see that at SIFF last year and even had one of the actors/directors there to talk to about it. I was pretty smug that unlike my companion I actually had a pretty good sense of what all happened. Many questions were gratefully answered though. :) I thought it was pretty damn cool too. :)
