Default Primer (2004) 12 Feb 2012 - 25 Feb 2012

Suggested by Garp

Primer

Quote:
At night and on weekends, four men in a suburban garage have built a cottage industry of error-checking devices. But, they know that there is something more. There is some idea, some mechanism, some accidental side effect that is standing between them and a pure leap of innovation. And so, through trial and error they are building the device that is missing most. However, two of these men find the device and immediately realize that it is too valuable to market. The limit of their trust in each other is strained when they are faced with the question, If you always want what you can't have, what do you want when you can have anything?

This is probably going to be a marmite film for folks.

A little viewing advice: Be dedicated to watching it.. first time I watched it I ended up having to explain points to Kari (she didn't catch the start of it), so I missed a couple of minor things that turned out to be major and as a consequence it made no sense.
You need to have your full brain on this one.

Tried watching it today but far too tired and nodded off for 15 mins in the middle.

Utter confusion

Haha, sounds about right - you need to be awake. I've only seen it once but did rewind and re-watch a few bits of it.
