Yeah, I know I don't get out much. That's what happens when you have three little kids.
Anyway, my wife and I rented "Memento" this weekend and goddamn but all you guys were right. That was one the of the best, most intense movies I have ever seen. Guy Pearce was outstanding, as was Joe Pantaliano.
Thanks for the recommendation from months ago.

You got good taste there, pieman.

Jay: What buzz?
Holden: The internet buzz.

From what I understand, at least one commentary.
I read an article the other day (sorry, don't remember where, I read too much stuff from too many sources) that mentioned there will be a ton of easter eggs and hidden features on it.
I also believe it's a two-disc set.

| #10 Posted on 15.4.02 0944.03 | Right, there was no chronological order feature on the US DVD, other than going scene-by-scene and doing it yourself. I think it's for the best, really, because I don't see how it would help the movie to play it in chronological order. The editing and interweaving of the scenes as in the film's running order is brilliant part of the thing, as is the fun mental exercise of putting it together yourself after you've seen it the first time.
It should have had a commentary, though. I liked the movie, but everytime I've watched it, there are one or two details in there that, to me, potentially tear the whole thing apart and I'm wondering if Nolan really has an answer or not. I'd probably have to take a look at it again to work out what they are. Including the short story it was based on was very cool, on the other hand. | Slestak

| #11 Posted on 15.4.02 1102.36 | I rented Nolan's "Following" about a month ago. It's about a writer who becomes obsessed with following strangers around. It's almost like a test-run for "Memento", as the scenes are not chronologically arranged and there are some common themes. If you can find it at the video store, it's definitely worth checking out.

| #12 Posted on 23.4.02 1049.33 | Well, I finally got around to seeing Memento last night. I bought it used on Saturday($4 to rent, and $5 to buy? Might as well buy it) and sat down to watch it. After hearing just about EVERYBODY rave about it, I was sure I was gonna have my expectations too high, and I was gonna be dissapointed. Turns out my expectations weren't high enough. I was almost feeling actual pain when I had to pause the tape.
