Comes out on Monday right?

Also, its the best film ever.

Ok, now on to the point of the topic;

Do any of you film geeks out there know if there is an option on the DVD to watch the film with the scenes in chronological order rather than the backward way they are originally put together?

Its just I heard a rumour, thought it might just be wishful thinking.

Anyone?

Did I see a spoiler in here?

I thought I might have done, so didn't read the rest of the post.

My copy still hasn't arrived.

Damn it.

Thats a good point.

I suppose he might have needed to carry a lot of tapes about with him too...

I enjoyed it until the totally not-needed final twist upon twist upon twist.

I turned my brain off and thought "Mike from Neighbours is skinny" instead.
Why didn't he just carry a dictaphone about with him?
easier than tattoos.

That does rule as a review!

I don't agree with it entirely, but its still a good review.

Doesn't Teddy say that the killer was just some irrelevant junky that didn't realise his wife wasn't alone in the house?

Thats how I remember it, for me that added to the overall situation. I didn't find it too w**ky - though it is an exhibition of how very clever the man is.

I thought it tied up enough loose ends to work, but hey...

Hmm...review of Memento to follow from moi
(and I got over 200 replies from the site telling me how stupid I was, as well as almost 300 saying it rocked as a review,so I've heard all the flak you can yak:)
----

I really, really enjoyed this one...until the last 15 mins.
Involving, original and interesting. Right up until the final set of revelations.
I got the distinct impression that the writer got so carried away with his own cleverness that he lost it and had a plot-w**k.
I just wanted to know who and why the wife was killed.
Instead?

"How about THIS TWIST!"
Yeah, but I just want to know who did it
"And now for THIS STUNNING TWIST!"
Yes, very clever, I just want to -
"And now THIS TWIST! You didnt expect that did you?!"
Well, no, well done, however, I wish to find out -
"And now for another PLOT TWIST! You see?! You see how clever I am?"
Look, just tell me -
"and one last TWIST!"
Oh p*ss off.

Ok, so its unconventional, like I said. But surely its no more pointless than any other film.
Its just backwards, it has the conclusion, then it shows the events that led to that conclusion. It still has twists at the "end" of the film/ "beginning" of the story.

I like the way it has the colour film running backwards from the conclusion to waht constitues roughly the middle of the story. Then the black and white runs forwards from the start to roughly the other side of the middle... which is at the end... grmph!gnyarg!
