Grats man, you make a desert puddle seem deep.

reply

you are entitled to your opinion as is anyone!
if you like terrible acted movies hey who am i to judge! good day!

reply

It was interesting, low budget doesn't equate to a bad movie.
True, it's no "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" ... but so what?
It was an intellectual exercise, ok, not a strenuous one, but it was still well worth the time to watch.

reply

meh. I didn't get anything out of it intellectually or really much entertainment value. It was ok.

I guess it just didn't resonate with you then. 

It wasn't confusing. I'm surprised you followed Primer and not this, which is much simpler in terms of narrative.

imdb is here for peoples opinions so i respect yours! my opinion may sound harsh and to a movie buff it probably is worth a watch! but to tha masses and the previous work of all the actors its a big no-no! happy days!

reply

While I respect your opinion, even understand your perception, I have to disagree with it. I don't think the acting was bad. I think the awkwardness of the characters is purposeful & demonstrated through good acting. It added to the strangeness of the somewhat parallel universe examined in this film. Their world is so similar to our own that we recognize & are quickly comforted by it. However by observing the individual strangeness of these characters, & the halting differences in the way they interact with each other & move through their lives, leaves us feeling as unsafe travelers in a foreign country.

seriously? The acting was purposefully bad to make the story weirder? I have read everything now.

Wayne-Robb:

Dd you ever think that the acting style was EXACTLY what Mr. Fisher wanted? Are you afraid of watching a different style of movie? It seems not since your movie choices are interesting. So it cannot be that.

Are you here to rant only?

Oh yeah, instead of maybe congratulating a team of film-makers for achieving this much with their limited resources it makes much more sense to just label the film as "stupidest idea on the planet" simply because it didn't meet your inflated expectations.

It at least showed potential, man. Why would you so actively discourage someones attempts to make and share a film that is in line with your interests? Seems weird and makes you sound like one of them aarogant jerks who think they could make a better film (but for some reason never do)

Oh, and nice top 10 list, I'd never even heard of Dead Man's Shoes, might have to check it out.

reply

dead mans shoes is brilliant

You just described Primer. That movie sucked and you gave perfect examples of why it sucked.

How you dare to tell that? :D

By the way, I'm curious: What part of the story you don't get?
