"Memento - and people who are wise to its DVD release"

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?

I don't mean it in a bad way - don't hurt me! The film goes backwards, so we've already seen the ending. The surprise is the beginning, but that's already happened. That's kinda what I meant. That and nothing actually happens because it already has.

Ultimately pointless!?!????!!?!!???

Thats a bit of a harsh view point. Its no more pointless than any other film. It just doesn't fit nicely into film conventions!

Grr... I'd be more angry but I've got "The power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the news on in the background and I can't help but smile...

Memento rocks. Saw it last night and thought it was really good, although ultimately pointless. Guy Pearce should have said "G'day" more and Teddy should have been called Harold.

Goddamm it! Not another special edition! I already bought Die Hard on DVD!

But it's THE USUAL SUSPECTS! No longer must I watch mu fuzzy taping - "Af.t.r.e....tha.....gues. is....hear...POOF!"

It'll rule. AND Die Hard - Special Edition is out soon. This year rocks so far, I've decided. AND I'm buying Memento at Smith's today, which means I'll have a free LotR ticket to see it for the 4th time.AND I'm coastin in all of my school subjects. AND I've just outwitted my sister by getting her to call herself a ho without her realising it.Life tastes good.

Ah - got that ordered already :) Think it's rather similar to the original out-of-print Usual Suspects DVD, but I didn't pick it up so I've got the new print pre-ordered already too.

Sigh, but do you want an argument? ;-)

I was going home to order Memento, then I walked past WHSmith's. They have an offer: FREE LOTR TICKET IF YOU SPEND OVER £10!!! Thats where I'm getting everything until the offer is over :-D

I find NO sweets to be the best cinema sweets, otherwise you'll find yourself to be one of those really annoying retarded people who can't even get a malteser out without fumbling around with the bag for 20 minutes! :-D

Indeed Captain Stryke you are wrong! This time, really wrong, not "Tarrant wants an argument" wrong, but normal wrong.
The man YH knows his stuff.


YH mate, buy it, buy it now. If you regret your purchase I'll eat my hat... and you know how much I like my hat.
