Primer is one of the best sci-fi films of the last decade. It's also one of the most well thought out mindfucks in cinema history. Writer/director/actor/producer/editor/cinematographer/production designer/composer/sound designer/craft services/casting director Shane Carruth uploaded the 77-minute film to Google for our enjoyment (or, in some cases, re-enjoyment). It's also on NetFlix Instant, and it's worth checking out at least twice, or preferably, once a week for a year until you can diagram the movie's plot.

Glad you enjoyed it but what does that have to do with being free?

Well, I wanted to imply that if you can see the movie you should. Though I don't think it was one of the best of the decade. I liked Moon (with Sam Rockwell) better.

EXWINGZERO WHY ARE YOU TALKING TO YOURSELF?

Am I going crazy? Are you going crazy?

I would put Primer in my Top 10 sci-fi movies of the decade, with Moon as well.

I guess that's two movies I need to get over my procrastination on and get streamed into my eyeballs.
