Just watched this movie for the first time last night. Watched it for the 2nd time tonight.

excellent movie. If you're into independant films, time travel flicks, or just weird/cool movies that fuck with your head i highly recommend it!

Had to watch it a 2nd time to really wrap my head around it. It's the coolest and most realistic (all things considered) portrayal of time travel ever. Just a really cool film. And even though it only had a budget of $7500, you never look at it and think "low budget" because everything looks like it belongs in the world they're in.

kick ass.

A good review from Jor? I'll have to read this thread again to wrap my head around it. [img]wink.gif[/img]

A must see for time travel geeks. You'll need to watch it a couple times at least, maybe more, to start to understand it. Even then, I'd suggest reading some of the MANY websites now devoted to explaining how it all works. It all can be made sense of too, it just takes some serious thinkin'

I do enjoy time travel stories but sometimes the concept really fucks with my head. That's why I like Star Trek. They made time travel safe. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Yes, this one will completely fuck with your head. You'll think you've got it, then it will slip away again...hell, I understood it completely at one point, but if you ask me know it will take me an hour just to get back to that point again.

BTW, this thread contains the most sensible and interesting explanation of events i've seen:

If you haven't watched the movie a couple times, that thread is going to be pretty meaningless!

well, it does give away the a big plot point that didn't even occur to me the first time through...

Well, I assumed that by saying "description of the events that occur", people would know it explains things that happen in the film [img]tongue.gif[/img]

...wait, wait, wait, now...I can't get behind this thing until some truly important issues are addressed...such as, is there a hot chick in it? What is her approximate cup size? Does she at any point remove any article of clothing?

there are two kinds of independant films... soft core porn disguised as art, and the other kind. this is the other kind.

I love this movie, my brother recommended it to me forever.

My brother sent me a timeline of the movie, the image is too large for me to host. It is insane.

I can email it if it is desired.

...my stars and garters! Yiggie! Where the fuck have you been? I thought mayhaps you'd slipped back into that dreamless hibernation you Old Ones are prone to having...

I've been wasting away in an online roleplaying game.

Now I am free, and am remembering what once was.

Egads. You want nothing to do with reality, my friend, believe me. Go...go back to your virtual world...be happy...

Ah, well, I grew tired of the same grind day in and day out, so I wandered off to single player video games once again. My virtual travels shalt never cease!

For now I have been thoroughly enjoying Fable:The Lost Chapters, but it did not last me long.

I bide my time for now, awaiting the new Elder Scrolls, and another jaunt through Hyrule as the magnificent Link.

I believe I shall load up Quake 4, but I long to slay a dragon.

...I just drink. Its not conducive to waxing poetic--well, maybe for the esteemed Mr. Poe, but not for myself--but it gets the job done.

I have been enjoying the dubious pleasures of Soul Calibur III; however, I've not partaken of an RPG-style game since Final Fantasy X, which I fear quite ruined me.
