Anyone of note in it? Or do you remember maybe another movie name where a person in this movie was in, but can't remember their name either?

Just seeing the title, I thought Primer right away. That has to be it. It is a pretty sweet movie made for a few thousand dollars, and there was another thread on here about it, which is where I heard about it.

Yeah that is it. I watched this thing late one night and kinda said "HUH" after the movie ended. I fired it up the next day when i wasn't so tired and started thinking more about it. For some reason last night i saw something on TV that reminded me that i wanted to watch this one again. If you havent seen it i think it is a must see. Very low budget but definitely a mid screw.

Great, I love those kinds of movies. I've had "Primer" in my Netflix queue for a while now but I'll bump it near the top of the list now.

I rented this movie based on a thread I read here a while back. I didn't get to invest the thought into it that it really deserved at the time. I will definitely rent this again.

Finally got around to watching this one last night (a friend had lent it to me over a year ago).
Didn't understand anything that happened in the second half of the film. But this usually happens to me, so it was nice to find out later that everyone else feels the same way for a change.

Yeah I watched Primer one day when I was at home sick last school year. Only paid 50% attention so I had no idea what was going on. Looked like it was probably cool, but I was clueless.

I was going to vote "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure", but they stumble across time travel at the Circle K rather than their garage...

I watched this movie a long time ago and remember being really, really confused at the time. Reading the synopsis above helps but this is a very smart movie, probably too smart and confusing for most people.

i've only ever watched it while really tired, which makes it doubly hard

#114 in my netflix queue, but since it can be watched instantly online in netflix, I'll likely get to it at some point in the next few weeks. |

that's one of the best signs that it's actually a good movie. I remember hearing that about 12 Monkeys and that's become one of my favorite movies. I like having to go back and piece things together. I'm definitely going to check this movie out.

I realize this question wasn't directed at me but since he quoted my response earlier, I thought I'd answer your question. I have seen "Mulholland Drive" and found it to be interesting, and confusing, but nowhere to the extent of "Primer." For me, the biggest difference between the two is that "Primer" used math and science that I didn't understand and made no apologizes for using technical terms throughout the script.

I liked Mullholland Dr better.
Primer is a nice little movie and I enjoyed it, even though it confused me. Mullholland Dr is an excellent movie (sometimes) and I enjoyed it even though it drove to my house, rang my doorbell, and then kicked me in the balls.
