P R I M E R

We watched Primer on Saturday night, and I'm glad that everyone was at least as befuddled by the movie as I was the first time I saw it. I enjoyed it just as much the third time through too, so I'd definitely recommend additional viewings.

For more info, Wikipedia has a sizable entry on the film. Also, www.primermovie.com is the film's official sight with a link to a discussion board that is administered by Shane Caruth (he no longer has the forum open to new users, because of spammers, but all of the content is still up).

I own the film now, so let me know if you'd like to borrow it.

JUNE!

Well, Film Clubbers, I've challenged myself for June. My challenge: to pick a movie to screen from the 21st century.

I don't think that it will be a challenge due to any lack of quality film-making so far this century, but it will be challenging to find a film that has as much of a universal impact as some of the movies we've seen so far in this club.

As a club, I'd say that we've stuck to some pretty prevalent themes, although not without variety and contrast... or, to summarize, I think that we could safely categorize the films screened thus far as a bit 'grown up' in taste. So I'm going to breath some life into this group! :) Just kidding. But I would like to find something contemporary (even futuristic!), or funny... something we haven't yet seen.

I'm thinking that the 16th or the 30th look like good dates. Let me know if you have a preference.
And I'll let you know when I have a selection.

Thanks.
Bjorn

Ps- anybody seen anything good recently? Let us know!
