The smart ones use the label ¨insane¨ to their advantage and score some sweet drugs from psychiatrists. Or they write philosophy, whatever. I watched Primer for the second time and I just ¨got¨ a few timelines. At least, I think I did.

ABC brings us the comedy series of the year!
(Bitter, biting sarcasm)
"Caveman": Hats off to the Geico Cavemen ad writers for making it look like selling this TV show is a piece of cake. The new single-camera comedy will explore a minority largely ignored across the world: the cave man. Two brothers and one best friend, described as sophisticated cave dudes living in modern-day Atlanta, will continually find themselves at odds with contemporary society and thus comment on today's race relations.

The one thing I´m most perplexed about in the film Primer is the scene where Aaron and Abe are in the car, Abe is on the phone and then Aaron gets out of the car suddenly and then it leads to the back yard of the house. Why did he get out of the car?! What the hell happened in the back yard? Was there another Aaron in the back yard? Was the 1st Abe running through the back yards prior to this scene? winna, help a brother out! It´s most likely the simplest scene in the film but I just said out-loud ¨HUH?! ¨

If I remember correctly.... and it's been a few months since I've seen the movie, although we did debate it in its entirety for an extended period of time: they get out of the car because they see that one person's dad (one of the girl's they're affiliated with whom they were trying to use as a business contact) in a car behind them, possibly following them. The idea was that they'd seen him earlier, but now he looks older (rugged facial hair) and they believe him to have found the time machines in one of the timelines one of the two went through and they're going to proceed to talk to him. They chase him to the backyard where he collapses from some illness, inferred to be caused by travelling through time too often (it causes brain damage). If you watch the movie enough times (approximately 27 times within 14 hours, you actually need one of their time machines to accomplish this btw) you'll eventually piece together information that suggests that Abe told the father (I think it was Abe's girlfriend's father... or something to that extent) because there would be problems at the party and the father had travelled back in time to do something about that. Note that the Abe and Aaron who chase him down to the backyard are not the ones that told the father about their invention - you have to presume a future Abe had already done this. I'm sure that's a very confusing explanation, but if you keep it in mind and probably watch the movie again, it'll make a little more sense. I'd recommend the movie to anyone who likes science fiction thrillers and/or movies that lie within realism; ie... there's no made-up scientific jargon gobbledy-goop within this film. It's all essentially written from a true science industry viewpoint - the writer went to great lengths to make it seem realistic, instead of making up stuff, which I applaude. Hope that helps

Upon reading that, I had the sudden image of a giant Po holding a struggling person down, and cramming them full of shit. All the other teletubbies are standing around. Finally, the person bursts, and they all say "again, again!" Creepy. I don't know what's worse, the thought or the fact that my brain produced it.

I assume so, if a show like Family Guy is any indication.
If the DVDs sell well and the new episodes of Comedy Central get good ratings, it's a definite possibility.

I've used that sort of logic on the possibility of getting Firefly back... The DVDs have sold well enough to warrant a special edition, and various other boundaries have been broken by persistant fans (a feature film out of the blue, eh?). Originally posted by Ribbons: Anyway, I tend to disregard any comment in regards to a film from a person who has not seen it before-hand or one that has the stance ¨I´ve been in the game.. I know the rules¨... I let them be to wallow in their own filth. Sometimes I find myself agreeing with you, Robbins. It's scary stuff. Movies don't have to get dealt and done with in the allotted running time. ...but then again, everybody knows people only watch these movies so they can pretend to be smartier and artier-than-thou in front of people who watch Scream 7 and Asia Trip.
