qatarperegrineWe watched Memento this last weekend, and it was definitely the most riveting movie I've seen in a long time. Probably most of you have seen it already, but if not, you should.
On the surface, it's about a man with anterograde amnesia (who therefore can't remember anything for more than about 10 minutes) who is trying to solve the mystery of his wife's murder using notes he writes to himself before he forgets things. But that's just the surface -- and it's the WAY the plot is presented that's absolutely amazing.

![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small} foobart: | If I was like the main guy in Memento, I don't think I'd ever leave the computer. I'd be like, "Hmm, what's on Slashdot? ... Hmm, what's on Fark? ... Hmm, what's on Boingboing? ... Hmm, what's on Slashdot? ... Hmm, what's on Fark? ..." And that would be it. | |
| Me: | I'm dangerously close to being like that anyway. |
