We all have our little enthusiasms. Don't hate.

I'm still not sure I like PRIMER. I thought I did but now I think I don't. I need to see it again to decide but I'm kind of not interested which to an extent seems to indicate a decision.

Meh.

Primer is THE mind-fucker. I hate/love it.

I haven't seen it in a while, but i remember finding the party scene confusing/boring. However you feel about the story you have to admire the guy for making such an original movie on such a teeny-tiny budget. On actual film no less. Nice end credits too, black on a grey BG if i remember right. Why can't other filmmakers think outside the box like that.

I can't wait for the first theatrical-release movie to come out filmed entirely on a cell phone.

Here's my thing with "Primer." I kind of have a hardon for it on several levels.

First, the first time I saw it, I was entertained as hell. I didn't follow it, but I enjoyed every minute of it. That counts for a lot with me.

Second, Teague's right that there's a puzzle aspect to it. I don't agree that the movie exists to be figured out; I think it exists to entertain people, though obviously the only person who really knows the answer to that question is the guy what made it. But the story is complicated, and that amuses me, 'cause I'm a nerd and I enjoy brain-teasers and logic puzzles.

Third-and-finally, every time I watch it I'm just blown away by what an accomplishment it was. Total auteur piece, shot on 16 with a rented camera and edited and finished on a home computer. If you listen to the commentary, Carruth talks about how he struggled with editing some sequences because he rushed shooting in order not to have to pay for camera rental for another week, and he had to loop a lot of the dialogue because he didn't know how to record location sound yet when he shot those early scenes. I mean … holy crap.

So yeah. I don't think I can say that "Primer" is one of the best movies ever or anything like that. But I can definitely say it's one of my favorites.

Why yes. Yes, I can.

I've had the DVD from Netflix literally since February, and there hasn't been a single moment where I've been in the mood to watch it. Now, I actually might.

For me it was let down by the fact it was utterly boring.

DowninFront it and I might give it another go to see what you all get out of it.

I re-read just the primer on Primer last night for fun.

I think I am boring.

Also, Jeff: Primmer or Prymer? I've been saying Primmer.

I'm not even English, and I've always pronounced it as Prymer.

I assume it's your auto correct, as mine recognizes spelt while typing this message (unless the Apple spellcheck is overriding some site specific dictionary)
