My wife had never seen it so we watched it and she fell asleep half way through, because everyone remembers the funny general at the beginning and the funny Dr. Strangelove antics at the end and nobody remembers the like 40 minutes of slow plodding airplane scenes in the middle.

I still like it but I could totally understand people thinking it's boring idk :shrug:

her name did come up when i was trying to figure this out before posting about it, but she's definitely not the answer and it took me a minute to recover and stop laughing

at this point i'm settled on "she looks like Eva Green in that picture" and i'm done with the derail

(I don't think she looks exactly like Christina Hendricks, but there's a sort of resemblance there and I think she's in that same sort of "nerd poo poo" realm as Felicia Day?)

Primer is painfully bad. It's super-pretentious film student bad. I love time travel movies and it made me angry how much it sucked. Everything about it is terrible. It's a great example of trying to use "no you just don't get it, it's so complex!" to compensate for terrible production, editing, acting and writing.

Cinema can be didactic. For instance I bet you could take a college Republican, force-feed them 200 hours of movies from 2004, and they'd be transformed into a slavering anti-capitalist
