What did you think of Primer? I seriously kept falling asleep on it...

Rrrr...

Honestly, I was pissed through most of the movie. For some reason, I stayed engaged, but I got more & more frustrated because I didn't understand half of what was happening. And I'm no dummy, or at least not deeply stupid.

I'm not sure if I like it or hate it when you have to watch a movie 3 times to figure it out. For example, Donnie Darko? So good. Primer? Made me mad.

No, seriously Lex, that is EXACTLY what I was thinking! I was totally just getting pissed. Like, in the very beginning, when you have *no idea* what the fuck is going on? I kept thinking, you know, this might work for a few minutes, get the person engaged and interested, but after like 10 full minutes of being completely lost, I was like, "yeah, not so fun." And the thing is, it's their plan to keep you lost. So you have to wonder, WHO is supposed to be interested in this? My attention was not going to be focused on this forever. Grrr. It made me angry. Annoyed. Like, "Just who do you people think you ARE?" and then when I realized my blood pressure was rising, I figured I should probably just give up.
