That's interesting. As far as I recall, all positive comments that I've heard about Memento from my friends where along the lines of: "Wow, I felt as if my memory wasn't working!" rather than "Wow, what a great storyline!"

"I can't understand why so many people think so high of this movie. If the plot was presented in chronological order, no one would give a damn." It's because some people watch films to get excited, aesthetically pleased, to experience what it'd be like to live in a different world (on another planet, in different times). A film does not have to have a flawless logic and impeccable story line in order to be successful. I liked the Back to the Future series, although it's illogical on so many levels!

I'd like to draw your attention to an excellent project: Manuel Garin Boronat demonstrates affinity between the visual language of silent movies and that of early video games.

An interesting analysis by the same author is featured on the Henry Jenkins' blog: http://henryjenkins.org/2009/08/on_games_and_gags_between_sile.html

Probably the best spoof trailer in the world ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD4OnHCRd_4

Hi, I'm Bolo and I'm a wannabe movie buff. Besides that I'm a researcher / software developer. Favourite director: Krzysztof Kieślowski. I love all the spy flicks, regardless of their quality - if there's a spy in it, it's gotta be good.
