Primer

So on Kottke's recommendation, I just watched Primer, and it reminded me of the super excellent Cypher, in that low-budget sci-fi sort of way.

Highly recommended if you're into thinking-person's sci-fi.

I generally detest being told anything about movies, as I then spend my time watching the movie thinking "ooh, is this the awesome bit that person was talking about yet?" .. "ohhh, is this the bit they thought was sad? ooh, it's not that sad, I'm not crying yet* .. ooh, maybe that's because I'm thinking about it too much .. damn people who told me things!". So for that reason, I tend to not explain things beyond "watch it" or "don't watch it", nor do I watch trailers.

*I once managed to have a sob during Honey I Shrunk the Kids; I mean, the poor man, thinking his kids are all stuffed up like that.
