Odds and Ends
Tuesday, November 1st, 2005Things I Heard People Say This Week
"Don't worry about it. Just gob on a lot of makeup and tell people you're whatever."
"Hmm, that eyeball is still on the ceiling."
"I wonder if it could be a sex-related injury."
"Would I be out of line if I handed out jello shots for trick-or-treat tonight?"
Movie Review: Memento
Holy shit, this movie is so wacked, I almost had a stroke. The plot is interesting enough, but it's the chronology that'll really play hell with your mind. The sequence of events plays backwards, which works well for the story, because the protagonist is unable to make new memories, and therefore doesn't remember how he came to be where he is at any given moment. This, BTW, is an actual condition, documented by medical professionals.
Granted, this movie is already 5 years old, so you've probably seen it already, but if you haven't, I suggest you rent it. If you have seen it, go get the special edition DVD, which apparently has an Easter Egg whereby the proper manipulation of the menus will reveal an alternate version where the storyline is backwards. Er, forwards. You know what I mean.
