Finally got back to my little VHS watch-a-thon and pulled out this movie, toward which I once lacked warmth but which impressed me a lot more this time around. (To be honest when I first saw it I associated Guy Pearce so strongly with LA Confidential, one of my favorite movies, that it annoyed me to see him playing an entirely different kind of character in there. Not saying that's right, just that was how something in me reacted.)  It'd been so long since I saw Memento that it was like seeing it for the first time, and to go through the looking glass of a plot so twisted and impressively creative was a pleasure. A near-great movie, a warped classic, as frustrating and captivating as it is maddening and sad. I'd give it an A-.

One of my favorite movies of all times. An absolute lecture on narrative, simply amazing.

You mean you don't rate Kylie Minogue's turn in Street Fighter as Oscar-worthy?  BounceGiggle

I was lucky enough to manage an arthouse movie theatre back in '01 that played MEMENTO for six full months. That allowed me the opportunity to watch it at least six times during that run, and I've watched it easily another dozen to fifteen times since, mostly w/ classes. I'm confident in saying that if one has seen MEMENTO once, one has barely seen MEMENTO. Top 5 of all time.  Smile

forgot about her lol

yeah the ex- neighbours guys seemed to take the pop star route more than the acting route. which probably makes sense if you watched the show :)

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
