    Just finished Primer and have to say...

    WTF?

    How do people write that kind of plot? Great movie but damn it gets your mind spinning. Reminds me a little of Memento where you don't know what's the truth, what's not, what time it's happening, etc.

    Thanks Jake, nice share

    Alright, Primer should be watched by the end of the weekend. I'll report back.

    TS1200, have you ever seen Requiem for a Dream, Amores Perro, or Akira?

    I think Jake was #2 on that one.

    It does keep you guessing.

    Ohhh, THAT scene. I reminded myself, and yes, very well done scene.

    Oh my bad, I just looked back for the poster I remembered seeing

    Stu, I have seen Requiem but I'll check out those other two.

    Some more suggestions I came across yesterday sifting through my DVDs,

    Mr. Brooks if you haven't seen it. If only to see Dane Cook get murdered....
    Gommorah (Mob movie set in Italy so prepare yourself for some reading)
    And 21 Grams (also a movie that shoots back and fourth but not quite as hard to get your mind around)

    Default My all time favorite:

    "The Wild Bunch". 1911s, trench Win 97s, water cool machine guns, '98 7x57s, Argentine 91s, fun stuff!

    Akira is one of my all time favorite movies. In general Anime is really hit or miss, there is some mind blowingly excellent titles, and lots of crap. Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex is amazing.

    Requiem for a Dream and Pi are both by Darren Aronofsky and enjoyable. I heard The Wrestler was good, but didn't see it. The Fountain was a little too long for me.

    Added Amores Perro to the Netflix queue.

    I honestly don't even remember what Akira was about. I just remember feeling like someone took a holesaw to my brain after watching it. I liked Pi and should watch it again. The Wrestler was indeed a good movie.

    Have you seen Paprika? That is kind of like a Vanilla Sky type of anime. I thought it was pretty good.

    The newest Aronofsky film was The Fountain. Pretty good but very odd. I liked it.


    The World's Fastest Indian is an all time fav.


    Anyone seen The Fall? Excellent visuals. A story within a story.

    It's funny, I've seen Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain and The Wrestler, but I haven't got round to watching Pi yet.

    I just got back from seeing The A-Team. The bits that weren't preposterous were good, but sadly the bits that were preposterous dragged the rest of the movie down. Good casting for the four leads though.
