    Primer was fucking stupid, making your movie impossible to figure out is not clever. And it had the most boring dialogue in the world. The only movie more incredibly boring was The Sixth Sense. At least, with all their lack of experience, Primer was trying to make a movie. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENED in The Sixth Sense.

    I was talking to someone else about Memento

    and they were complaining that it was boring

    I can't imagine how you can think that about that movie

    ...

    that's probably exactly how I sound to people that like 2001

    No.

    Memento is not boring at all.

    2001 was boring when it was made and is boring now.


    OK, so what am I doing?

    Oh, I'm chasing this guy.

    No... he's chasing me.

    Possibly the best part.

    Or perhaps...

    You're not supposed to figure out the tangled mess of the plot. That's kind of the point.

    It wasn't about being clever. It was about making the audience feel what the characters were feeling.

    Sixth Sense wasn't a miracle of modern cinema or anything

    but it was a decent movie

    about the only good one Shyamalan had in him

    I dunno though I haven't seen Unbreakable and I've heard mixed things about it

    No, the plot is pretty clear. There's just one particular aspect that's supposed to be inscrutable.

    It's been a while since I've seen it but
    I seem to remember that it eventually becomes impossible to tell how many times they'd gone through the machines

    At which point Abe just says "fuck it I'm destroying these things"

    like isn't there a montage of sorts of them constantly going back to stop each other from stopping each other

    I'm assuming the inscrutable part you're referring to is what happened that made the other guy use the machine?

    I like Unbreakable quite a bit, sure some of it's descents into melodrama are a little tough to take but I think it's a more complete film than The Sixth Sense, which dosen't really stand up to repeat viewings.
