Anyone here see the movie "Primer"?
And could explain it to me? It got so confusing at the end I couldn't figure out what happened.

1. I saw it, and no way could I explain it
That movie was flat out weird.

2. Closing the circle.
Edited on Wed May-12-10 04:20 PM by RandomThoughts
But spotted a bogey, (Casablanca), so sent in interceptors.

The girls going around the outside, closing the circle, (trailer as in ID4 trailers, and movie trailers.)

But a song posted, then another not posted tried to get um, so back up was sent in to escort them.


Its not that complicated.

law suits settled that were mentioned at end of What About Bob clip.

Then the butt is the touch, and happy of coarse.

Moby is the whale, as in big gamblers, don't let envy ruin your heart by vengence, but do for ideas of justice.

The Whale is eating a banana because it is unevolved which is what apes are. Since evolving is emotional maturity. And also never learned the lesson from Rikki Tikki Tavi, never eat the whole banana since a mongoose has to stay fit, hence why people should be emotionally evolved to thoughts and feelings.

Prince was from the other post, and black water.

The turd in the sea is the oil spill, or as someone mentioned, maybe the hair booms stopping it.

Chopped liver is Hannibal quote to indicate closing the circle on ancient Rome.

The nod from the campaign camera man for confirmation.

The Rabbit

How some have empty souls.

Get heavy is from piling the love rock songs on the black oil.

And some of the best places are those with less judgement, and hence under the eye looking at the sky, so they can get through.





And none of it is about violence, if people think that, that is their problem. Why do you think it is in a fun song?

6. Some other things.
Edited on Wed May-12-10 04:53 PM by RandomThoughts
The lens that was also shown on Colbert last night.

The two cents, from the poor women for free, then backed up by the ten cents.

the nesting from the branches.


a few other things, but it is good news.



The "f*ck you Debbie" is said to the concept of Debbie downer.


Lots more there, the hipps, lots of stuff.

3. It was a write around of the Time Travel Paradox
Smartly written though, but the paradox beats all comers.

8. Wow.
Way more complicated than I thought. I didn't realize there were so many incarnations of each character!

9. A solid B minus.
Boring, boring, boring.

The only thing to recommend it is that it didn't "dumb down" the scientific dialogue for the sake of a mass audience.

11. You have the primary skills to be a fine movie reviewer for the modern age.
Never let "not seeing the movie" stand in your way. Feel free to make comments on anything you are truly 100% ignorant of.

12. I SURE HOPE you're joking, because I was
If you're not joking, take the stick out of your ass and read my post again. Reference the term "pun" both before and after you reread it. I'll wait.

13. Maybe he needs a primer on basic humor.
And what's really amazing to me is that I was going to advise him about the stick up his ass even before I read your suggestion to him.

Either it's a case of great minds thinking alike, or the diagnosis is overwhelmingly obvious! :rofl:
