00:02:48
◼

show a diagram what happened nothing

movies that are that the ones that I
[TS]
00:02:58
◼
►
told you to see I the earliest is 12
[TS]
00:03:02
◼
►
monkeys which I just watched again last
[TS]
00:03:06
◼
►

[TS]
00:03:08
◼
►
Monkeys looper and and primer intern
[TS]
00:03:12
◼
►
primer primer there's a whole convoluted
[TS]
00:03:15
◼
►
you can call it either 1 it's shane
[TS]
00:03:17
◼
►
carruth director says that it was
[TS]
00:03:19
◼
►
supposed to be called primer and he got
[TS]
00:03:21
◼
►
because that's what the word means is a
[TS]
00:03:23
◼
►
you know an instruction manual basically
[TS]
00:03:25
◼
►
to teach you how to do something but
[TS]
00:03:27
◼
►
everybody called primer instead of
[TS]
00:03:28
◼
►
primer so he gave up so that really
[TS]
00:03:31
◼
►
caught there it just like primer fine
[TS]
00:03:34
◼
►
but that's not the word and i do want to
[TS]
00:03:36
◼
►
talk about time travel in general are
[TS]
00:03:40
◼
►
these movies these movies have different
[TS]
00:03:44
◼
►
takes on time mechanics and every time
[TS]
00:03:46
◼
►
travel movie is different back to the
[TS]
00:03:47
◼
►
future is you know fade away when you
[TS]
00:03:50
◼
►
change the timeline kind of thing
[TS]
00:03:52
◼
►
the reason i wanted us to talk about 12
[TS]
00:03:54
◼
►
monkeys is having seen so many time
[TS]
00:03:58
◼
►
travel movies i really love the fact
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
that 12 monkeys has a really kind of
[TS]
00:04:03
◼
►
hard definition of time travel which is
[TS]
00:04:06
◼
►
that there's only one timeline things
[TS]
00:04:08
◼
►
only are ever what they are
[TS]
00:04:12
◼
►
everything is inevitable it's kind of
[TS]
00:04:13
◼
►
really depressing in twelve Monkeys
[TS]
00:04:15
◼
►
because everything out some point bruce
[TS]
00:04:17
◼
►
willis just says you're all dead to me
[TS]
00:04:19
◼
►
already
[TS]
00:04:20
◼
►
you're all gonna die doesn't matter but
[TS]
00:04:23
◼
►
i like that 12 monkeys doesn't go in for
[TS]
00:04:25
◼
►
any of this sort of like wait a second
[TS]
00:04:27
◼
►
that's a paradox like the doctor who
[TS]
00:04:29
◼
►
kind of thing where you're like you
[TS]
00:04:31
◼
►
don't even know anymore it's like it
[TS]
00:04:33
◼
►
the time paradoxes beat you down until
[TS]
00:04:34
◼
►
you can't complain
[TS]
00:04:35
◼
►
anymore and 12 monkeys like no one said
[TS]
00:04:37
◼
►
the things happens it always happens the
[TS]
00:04:39
◼
►
first scene of the movie is the last
[TS]
00:04:40
◼
►
seen the movie and that's what that's
[TS]
00:04:44
◼
►
what I appreciate about 12 monkeys is I
[TS]
00:04:46
◼
►
really like its perspective on time
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
you thought it was the hardest of I
[TS]
00:04:50
◼
►
would I thought that primer or primary
[TS]
00:04:52
◼
►
was it has the hardest take on time
[TS]
00:04:55
◼
►
travel and the 12 monkeys was artistic
[TS]
00:04:58
◼
►
license and it was it was it was not
[TS]
00:05:00
◼
►
answerable artistic license because they
[TS]
00:05:02
◼
►
wanted to be like they didn't want to go
[TS]
00:05:04
◼
►
for the happy ending but like it's like
[TS]
00:05:07
◼
►
they punted they weren't going to do
[TS]
00:05:08
◼
►
anything like it's a time travel movie
[TS]
00:05:10
◼
►
yes but I think I like its purity I like
[TS]
00:05:13
◼
►
the purity that the of saying there is
[TS]
00:05:15
◼
►
only one timeline and you don't even
[TS]
00:05:17
◼
►
need to wrap your head around everything
[TS]
00:05:18
◼
►
that is going to happen happened if you
[TS]
00:05:20
◼
►
send somebody back in time they're gonna
[TS]
00:05:22
◼
►
do what they did
[TS]
00:05:24
◼
►
there's only one stream and everything
[TS]
00:05:26
◼
►
is in that stream and there's no
[TS]
00:05:27
◼
►
changing anything and I thought that was
[TS]
00:05:29
◼
►
interesting because yeah because because
[TS]
00:05:32
◼
►
primer is not like that at all
[TS]
00:05:34
◼
►
correct but if you're going to have a
[TS]
00:05:36
◼
►
movie where ever there's only one
[TS]
00:05:39
◼
►
timeline i want more complicated things
[TS]
00:05:41
◼
►
to have happened in 12 monkeys only
[TS]
00:05:44
◼
►
really listened in on itself once and I
[TS]
00:05:46
◼
►
want to get really complicated dance and
[TS]
00:05:48
◼
►
I i don't think they needed to do lots
[TS]
00:05:50
◼
►
of looping stuff because i had the time
[TS]
00:05:53
◼
►
travel part 12mon cases is like less
[TS]
00:05:55
◼
►
important i think then because it's
[TS]
00:05:58
◼
►
unlike unlike the other movies there is
[TS]
00:06:00
◼
►
no authoritative voice in the movie
[TS]
00:06:02
◼
►
explain do you have time travel works
[TS]
00:06:03
◼
►
you have these crazy scientists who
[TS]
00:06:05
◼
►
you're not sure about the competence of
[TS]
00:06:07
◼
►
the scientists and quotes you have a
[TS]
00:06:09
◼
►
crazy you have a crazy person who had
[TS]
00:06:11
◼
►
various points what they do what they do
[TS]
00:06:13
◼
►
more in 12 monkeys at a time families
[TS]
00:06:15
◼
►
they do the unreliable narrator things
[TS]
00:06:17
◼
►
like wait a second maybe there is no
[TS]
00:06:18
◼
►
timetable this guy is really nuts and
[TS]
00:06:20
◼
►
they don't go heavily into that but that
[TS]
00:06:21
◼
►
it's more of that kind of movie than it
[TS]
00:06:23
◼
►
is a time-travel Murray and this goes is
[TS]
00:06:25
◼
►
nobody it being crazy when he jumps and
[TS]
00:06:29
◼
►
then he sort of gradually becomes less
[TS]
00:06:31
◼
►
crazy which I liked it's like a symptom
[TS]
00:06:33
◼
►
of being described as he is nuts but he
[TS]
00:06:36
◼
►
is the main voice like because he says
[TS]
00:06:39
◼
►
you're already dead to me because he
[TS]
00:06:40
◼
►
says you can't change that he is our
[TS]
00:06:42
◼
►
he's the only person we have telling us
[TS]
00:06:43
◼
►
have the rules of time travel movie for
[TS]
00:06:45
◼
►
the most part and are we supposed to
[TS]
00:06:47
◼
►
believe him
[TS]
00:06:48
◼
►
nothing i can do is change you're all
[TS]
00:06:49
◼
►
going to die anyway pop what does he
[TS]
00:06:51
◼
►
know about time travel he's it has he
[TS]
00:06:52
◼
►
been told this by authoritative people
[TS]
00:06:54
◼
►
are not even sure it but it's mostly
[TS]
00:06:56
◼
►
because they didn't want a hat like
[TS]
00:06:57
◼
►
that's not what the story is about the
[TS]
00:06:58
◼
►
story is about this guy and it's about
[TS]
00:07:01
◼
►
like the audience's hope that the world
[TS]
00:07:03
◼
►
will be saved and the directors desire
[TS]
00:07:05
◼
►
not to have that happen which I find
[TS]
00:07:06
◼
►
pleasing and and makes it a fun movie
[TS]
00:07:09
◼
►
for me up but it's almost like time
[TS]
00:07:11
◼
►
travel is not an important part of this
[TS]
00:07:14
◼
►
movie is just a and it's kind of like
[TS]
00:07:16
◼
►
they could have had a regular movie shot
[TS]
00:07:18
◼
►
out of sequence like the pulp fiction
[TS]
00:07:19
◼
►
type thing and had the same type of
[TS]
00:07:21
◼
►
effect you didn't need that i'm driving
[TS]
00:07:23
◼
►
seat for me i have this thing where I
[TS]
00:07:26
◼
►
you know I'm not a huge fan of all
[TS]
00:07:28
◼
►
genres of sci-fi but time-traveling that
[TS]
00:07:30
◼
►
will always suck me in any medium and I
[TS]
00:07:33
◼
►
feel like 12 monkeys sucks most of the
[TS]
00:07:37
◼
►
fun out of time travel it takes a very
[TS]
00:07:40
◼
►
sort of basic take on it with no fancy
[TS]
00:07:44
◼
►
fullness which I am craving and I don't
[TS]
00:07:47
◼
►
know I I saw that movie knowing nothing
[TS]
00:07:49
◼
►
about it if you can imagine me not
[TS]
00:07:50
◼
►
knowing anything about a movie talking
[TS]
00:07:51
◼
►
and I I was not surprised by I like to
[TS]
00:07:55
◼
►
be surprised by time travel to like I
[TS]
00:07:56
◼
►
want to be surprised by was possible but
[TS]
00:07:58
◼
►
it's sort of i don't call it exactly
[TS]
00:08:01
◼
►
predictable but it feels to Pat I think
[TS]
00:08:04
◼
►
there's too fine a point on it i can see
[TS]
00:08:07
◼
►
that i mean it is directly predictable
[TS]
00:08:08
◼
►
in that you can see that first scene and
[TS]
00:08:10
◼
►
kind of expect what's gonna happen
[TS]
00:08:11
◼
►
although they try to misdirect you but
[TS]
00:08:14
◼
►
like what i liked about it is that it
[TS]
00:08:15
◼
►
was a straight line and I I've seen so
[TS]
00:08:18
◼
►
many twisty time travel movies that I
[TS]
00:08:19
◼
►
don't know there's something about
[TS]
00:08:20
◼
►
seeing something that's a little bit a
[TS]
00:08:23
◼
►
little bit more straightforward i also
[TS]
00:08:25
◼
►
like the fact that he goes back and
[TS]
00:08:26
◼
►
forth and that you know it's not that
[TS]
00:08:29
◼
►
he's unstuck he's he's just kind of
[TS]
00:08:30
◼
►
alternating back and forth
[TS]
00:08:32
◼
►
I don't know it also it's one of the
[TS]
00:08:34
◼
►
more coherent terry gilliam movies ever
[TS]
00:08:37
◼
►
it was fun it's one of the most
[TS]
00:08:40
◼
►
conventional movies and yeah i think the
[TS]
00:08:42
◼
►
things that are good about it are the
[TS]
00:08:44
◼
►
Gilliam things like it has charm and
[TS]
00:08:46
◼
►
character and whacking is I think it has
[TS]
00:08:48
◼
►
one of the best crazy Brad Pitt
[TS]
00:08:49
◼
►
performances but she came to do many
[TS]
00:08:51
◼
►
performances they were like that but i
[TS]
00:08:53
◼
►
think this is one of the best ones
[TS]
00:08:54
◼

kind of criminal and how to time travel

refreshing i really like and I don't
[TS]
00:10:08
◼

think I notice the first time i watch
[TS]
00:10:09

this movie I really like how when he
[TS]
00:10:11
◼

first tries to escape he ends up at a at
[TS]
00:10:14
◼
►
like a cat scan and it's the big tube
[TS]
00:10:17
◼
►
that they're sticking a guy into and he
[TS]
00:10:19
◼
►
really recoiled at that and then later
[TS]
00:10:21
◼
►
oh that's pretty much how they do the
[TS]
00:10:22
◼
►
time travel is they put a wrap them in
[TS]
00:10:24
◼
►
plastic and and shove them into it you
[TS]
00:10:26
◼
►
know what plastic is essential part of
[TS]
00:10:28
◼
►
their technique clearly the clear
[TS]
00:10:30
◼
►
plastic a plastic environment suits all
[TS]
00:10:32
◼
►
like the electrodes that they want to
[TS]
00:10:33
◼

have their cake and eat it too that you
[TS]
00:10:35
◼
►
want to be a silly movie and be whacking
[TS]
00:10:37
◼

everything but they do want to have time
[TS]
00:10:39
◼
►
travel but they don't want to explain it
[TS]
00:10:40
◼
►
in anyway and so like they kind of
[TS]
00:10:42
◼
►
trying to walk a line between don't take
[TS]
00:10:43
◼
►
this seriously but do take it seriously
[TS]
00:10:45
◼
►
because like you know that it's the type
[TS]
00:10:47
◼
►
of movie like look at they are human
[TS]
00:10:49
◼
►
races and beaten down to the apartment
[TS]
00:10:50
◼
►
living underground and this is the time
[TS]
00:10:52
◼
►
they discovered time travel that's not
[TS]
00:10:53
◼
►
how you know it makes no sense right but
[TS]
00:10:55
◼
►
you but not a type of movie you must
[TS]
00:10:56
◼
►
think about that desperate times John
[TS]
00:10:58
◼
►
call for desperate time travel measures
[TS]
00:11:00
◼
►
but would it still be plausible because
[TS]
00:11:03
◼
►
I've been part of the in seeing the
[TS]
00:11:05
◼
►
movie is like is bristles character
[TS]
00:11:06
◼
►
crazy or not right and if they had a
[TS]
00:11:09
◼
►
whole thing where like they explain this
[TS]
00:11:11
◼
►
is how time travel works and he
[TS]
00:11:12
◼
►
understands that he knows how he's gonna
[TS]
00:11:13
◼
►
be traveled
[TS]
00:11:14
◼
►
you know transported back right like
[TS]
00:11:15
◼
►
they never get into that he's just back
[TS]
00:11:17
◼
►
whenever you know had some arbitrary
[TS]
00:11:19
◼
►
amount of time I mean if they explained
[TS]
00:11:21
◼
►
that wouldn't that kind of I feel like
[TS]
00:11:23
◼
►
that kind of week in the question that
[TS]
00:11:25
◼
►
the first half of the movie ass in terms
[TS]
00:11:27
◼
►
of like is he crazy or not right if you
[TS]
00:11:29
◼
►
like by keeping it vague
[TS]
00:11:31
◼
►
it makes it to a certain extent unclear
[TS]
00:11:34
◼
►
it's unreliable narrator more than time
[TS]
00:11:36
◼
►
travel paradoxes and stuff yeah I mean I
[TS]
00:11:39
◼
►
i really like 12 monkeys but it's really
[TS]
00:11:41
◼
►
unclear what type of movie it is right
[TS]
00:11:43
◼
►
is a science fiction movie is a terrible
[TS]
00:11:44
◼
►
movie within science fiction genre is a
[TS]
00:11:46
◼
►
dark comedy is it this weird love story
[TS]
00:11:49
◼
►
that attacked in there also it's like
[TS]
00:11:50
◼
►
it's all these things which I think are
[TS]
00:11:52
◼
►
interesting but it's kind of jumbled and
[TS]
00:11:54
◼
►
unclear i love this movie
[TS]
00:11:56
◼
►
I really do but i think you're right i
[TS]
00:11:58
◼
►
think and i think i think john hit on it
[TS]
00:12:00
◼
►
too which is in some ways the time
[TS]
00:12:03
◼
►
travel time travel and 12 monkeys is the
[TS]
00:12:05
◼
►
way they do the out-of-sequence
[TS]
00:12:08
◼
►
storytelling that ever since pulp
[TS]
00:12:10
◼
►
fiction pretty much every other movie
[TS]
00:12:11
◼
►
does and accepted 12 monkeys
[TS]
00:12:14
◼
►
it's telling a linear story from bruce
[TS]
00:12:17
◼
►
willis's perspective but it's not linear
[TS]
00:12:19
◼
►
in terms of time which i think is kind
[TS]
00:12:21
◼
►
of interesting without it being the
[TS]
00:12:23
◼
►
point of the movie because the point of
[TS]
00:12:24
◼
►
the movie isn't that the point of the
[TS]
00:12:25
◼
►
movie is this inevitability that he's
[TS]
00:12:28
◼
►
you know there are lots of non tried
[TS]
00:12:29
◼
►
time travel movies where the protagonist
[TS]
00:12:30
◼
►
is inevitably going to reach his
[TS]
00:12:32
◼
►
destination and you maybe there's been a
[TS]
00:12:34
◼
►
for uh you know flash forward every or
[TS]
00:12:38
◼
►
it's told in flashback and here you know
[TS]
00:12:40
◼
►
instead time travel is the device that
[TS]
00:12:42
◼
►
we use to basically say that humanity is
[TS]
00:12:44
◼
►
hurtling toward disaster and then what
[TS]
00:12:47
◼
►
what caused it and then you have to
[TS]
00:12:48
◼
►
wonder so that you know it's a different
[TS]
00:12:50
◼
►
use of time travel works or not the
[TS]
00:12:52
◼
►
it's almost just like a narrative device
[TS]
00:12:54
◼
►
to tell the story but i do like this
[TS]
00:12:57
◼
►
movie and I love some of terry gilliam's
[TS]
00:13:00
◼
►
movies and why I you know what I
[TS]
00:13:01
◼
►
mentioned it earlier i really mean of
[TS]
00:13:03
◼
►
one of the things i like about this
[TS]
00:13:04
◼
►
movie is that it is Gilliam button down
[TS]
00:13:07
◼
►
just enough that i didn't write it
[TS]
00:13:10
◼
►
somewhere we have some of his excesses
[TS]
00:13:12
◼
►
are not on display but it's still
[TS]
00:13:15
◼
►
interesting i like the Surrey ality of
[TS]
00:13:18
◼
►
the beginning part and I because i think
[TS]
00:13:21
◼
►
it's sort of illustrates the
[TS]
00:13:23
◼
►
unreliable narrator because maybe they
[TS]
00:13:26
◼
►
are perfectly normal scientists and
[TS]
00:13:28
◼
►
maybe this is a perfectly normal
[TS]
00:13:29
◼
►
facility but maybe we're perceiving it
[TS]
00:13:32
◼
►
through bruce willis's eyes and going ok
[TS]
00:13:34
◼
►
this is really weird and he's freaking
[TS]
00:13:37
◼
►
out and then all of a sudden he's in the
[TS]
00:13:40
◼
►
David David people's by the way who who
[TS]
00:13:41
◼
►
r Blade Runner and Unforgiven is the
[TS]
00:13:44
◼
►
co-writer of this movie so it's an
[TS]
00:13:46
◼
►
interesting screenwriter to has anybody
[TS]
00:13:48
◼
►
seen the french film that it's based on
[TS]
00:13:50
◼
►
my youtube i believe i have shit a

00:14:10
◼
►

done in photographs he couldn't that the
[TS]
00:14:15
◼
►
guy who made it couldn't get a film
[TS]
00:14:16
◼
►
camera so it's all it's like a Ken Burns
[TS]
00:14:19
◼
►
action film was it's like sliding across
[TS]
00:14:23
◼
►
photographs and zooming in and zooming
[TS]
00:14:27
◼
►
yeah does not sound appealing know it's
[TS]
00:14:31
◼
►
like French new way of with more action
[TS]
00:14:34
◼
►
than some of those movies
[TS]
00:14:37
◼
►
yeah I I so so i like i like this movie
[TS]
00:14:41
◼
►
a lot that's why that's why I tossed it
[TS]
00:14:42
◼
►
in here and i'm intrigued by the way
[TS]
00:14:44
◼
►
that it uses time travel but it's not a
[TS]
00:14:46
◼
►
movie about time travel
[TS]
00:14:48
◼
►
so you know I like that a lot more when
[TS]
00:14:50
◼
►
i saw when it was released because I
[TS]
00:14:52
◼
►
guess I was a lot younger and now i'm
[TS]
00:14:53
◼
►
still charmed by it but now I see that
[TS]
00:14:55
◼
►
did that's problem i I'm right there
[TS]
00:14:58
◼
►
with you this was a five-star kind of
[TS]
00:14:59
◼
►
movie when it came out for me and now
[TS]
00:15:01
◼
►
when I look at it I i I'm that's exactly
[TS]
00:15:03

[TS]
00:15:05
◼
►
stuff in and madeleine stowe you know
[TS]
00:15:07
◼
►
she's she's nice and all but her
[TS]
00:15:09
◼
►
character is a kind of a disaster
[TS]
00:15:12
◼
►
because it she never does she outside
[TS]
00:15:15
◼
►
the first five minutes she's on screen I
[TS]
00:15:17
◼
►
think she never does anything that makes
[TS]
00:15:19
◼
►
any sense that any human being would
[TS]
00:15:21
◼
►
ever behave the way that she does and
[TS]
00:15:24
◼
►
she doesn't act like a nap someone in a
[TS]
00:15:25
◼
►
terry gilliam move if she did that
[TS]
00:15:27
◼
►
they're like all right it doesn't act
[TS]
00:15:28
◼
►
like a normal person but she's wacky and
[TS]
00:15:30
◼
►
crazy she's just like just like from
[TS]
00:15:32
◼
►
another movie has no inkling that he
[TS]
00:15:34
◼
►
might actually be from the future for a
[TS]
00:15:35
◼
►
very long
[TS]
00:15:36
◼
►
time and then all of a sudden she
[TS]
00:15:37
◼
►
believes it's like her arc is not
[TS]
00:15:39
◼
►
yeah that's that's ok when she gets
[TS]
00:15:41
◼
►
there that she might start believing it
[TS]
00:15:42
◼
►
but she's like sticking around with this
[TS]
00:15:46
◼
►
guy and I never believed that she's
[TS]
00:15:48
◼
►
doing it because she you know she's just

00:15:51
◼

[TS]
00:21:20
◼

certain point of the movie makes you
[TS]
00:21:22
◼
►
believe that it will be possible for
[TS]
00:21:24
◼
►
Bruce will save the world that it takes
[TS]
00:21:25
◼
►
that away which is what strongly about
[TS]
00:21:27
◼
►
it see if you're a scientist the first
[TS]
00:21:29
◼
►
thing you do when you have time travel
[TS]
00:21:31
◼
►
is find out if you can change the past
[TS]
00:21:33
◼
►
we should have found that out before
[TS]
00:21:34
◼
►
sending bruce willis back yeah maybe
[TS]
00:21:37
◼

[TS]
00:27:35
◼
►
largest domain registers in the world
[TS]
00:27:36
◼
►
but they're they're humble beginnings
[TS]
00:27:38
◼
►
were actually the very Mac friendly kind
[TS]
00:27:42
◼
►
of beginning and there and there they're
[TS]
00:27:44
◼
►
still very nice people but they're there
[TS]
00:27:47
◼
►
are people and now they've become this
[TS]
00:27:49
◼
►
wild success in this other area so let's
[TS]
00:27:52
◼
►

Willis movie from of more recent vintage
[TS]
00:29:23
◼
►
which is looper is rian johnson's movie
[TS]
00:29:26
◼
►
from from last year from 2012
[TS]
00:29:28
◼
►
I don't know what youre you're listening
[TS]
00:29:31
◼
►
to this podcast you could be the future
[TS]
00:29:33
◼
►
or the past by a time-travel we just
[TS]
00:29:35
◼
►
don't know but it was made in 2012 and
[TS]
00:29:38
◼
►
it's bruce willis and Joseph
[TS]
00:29:40
◼
►
gordon-levitt and I saw this movie on
[TS]
00:29:42
◼
►
home video I didn't see it when it was
[TS]
00:29:43
◼
►
out there so there was a lot of buzz
[TS]
00:29:45
◼
►
about it and people really liked it and
[TS]
00:29:46
◼
►
and you know this this is the movie
[TS]
00:29:48
◼
►
about the the time-traveling hitmen
[TS]
00:29:51
◼
►
let's just say the laws of time and
[TS]
00:29:54
◼
►
space are not adhere to as firmly and
[TS]
00:29:58
◼
►
looper as in other movies we're talking
[TS]
00:30:01
◼
►
about tonight would that be a fair
[TS]
00:30:02
◼
►
assessment
[TS]
00:30:03
◼
►
well it has a set of rules and it's very
[TS]
00:30:05
◼
►
clear about them but they're dumb rule
[TS]
00:30:07
◼
►
yeah as soon as they announced the rules
[TS]
00:30:11
◼
►
you're like this movie a lot but they're
[TS]
00:30:12
◼
►
dumb rules
[TS]
00:30:13
◼
►
yeah just like I complain about the
[TS]
00:30:15
◼
►
scientists and 12 monkeys I feel like
[TS]
00:30:16
◼
►
the Mafia looper could be taking much
[TS]
00:30:18
◼
►
better advantage of the rules of the
[TS]
00:30:20
◼
►
world they find themselves it well they
[TS]
00:30:22
◼
►
are criminals
[TS]
00:30:23
◼
►
yeah organized crime it's not that
[TS]
00:30:26
◼
►
organized like 12 monkeys like this is
[TS]
00:30:29
◼
►
what kind of branded down to the title
[TS]
00:30:31
◼
►
as a time travel movie but the that I
[TS]
00:30:34
◼
►
think the reason people got excited
[TS]
00:30:35
◼
►
about this movie is that it's a time
[TS]
00:30:37
◼
►
probably and another kind of movie that
[TS]
00:30:39
◼
►
you don't expect it to be right
[TS]
00:30:41
◼
►
so they have that you know that the
[TS]
00:30:43
◼
►
telekinesis thing like it around mid way
[TS]
00:30:45
◼
►
through the movie it shifts of like you
[TS]
00:30:46
◼
►
thought this movie is about time travel
[TS]
00:30:48
◼
►
actually this superpower is a kid that
[TS]
00:30:50
◼
►
super powers on a farm and that is like
[TS]
00:30:52
◼
►
that is really the the pros and honesty
[TS]
00:30:55
◼
►
time travel time travel tractor
[TS]
00:30:56
◼
►
time-travels para practica like just
[TS]
00:30:58
◼
►
like a backdrop for the story of this
[TS]
00:31:00
◼
►
yeah and how much you're willing to buy
[TS]
00:31:02
◼
►
into that and how much you enjoy that
[TS]
00:31:04
◼
►
you just want to appear time travel
[TS]
00:31:05
◼
►
would you just want to rip our movie do
[TS]
00:31:06
◼
►
you want to mixed it's it's an
[TS]
00:31:09
◼
►
interesting mixture it's done and I
[TS]
00:31:10
◼
►
think that to the two generals are mixed
[TS]
00:31:12
◼
►
together not a clumsy way but more in
[TS]
00:31:15
◼
►
like he didn't care that these two
[TS]
00:31:18
◼
►
things like these to taste might not
[TS]
00:31:20
◼
►
taste great together they're gonna be
[TS]
00:31:22
◼
►
together and it's gonna you know it's
[TS]
00:31:24
◼
►
going to work out the purposes of the
[TS]
00:31:25
◼
►
story i like the idea of you meeting
[TS]
00:31:30
◼
►
your older self and the the rules that
[TS]
00:31:33
◼
►
have to be set up to the idea that we
[TS]
00:31:34
◼
►
kill i'm not quite sure I understand all
[TS]
00:31:38
◼
►
the mechanics of why they're killing who
[TS]
00:31:41
◼
►
they're killing when they're killing
[TS]
00:31:43
◼
►
them in the act of dumping people back
[TS]
00:31:45
◼
►
in time to kill them and all of that it
[TS]
00:31:47
◼
►
seems that seems like not a great use of
[TS]
00:31:49
◼
►
time travel but but when I just like
[TS]
00:31:51
◼
►
it's a Rube Goldberg machine yeah I do i
[TS]
00:31:54
◼
►
do like though the that it sets up this
[TS]
00:31:56
◼
►
yet you know young Joe and old Joe
[TS]
00:31:58
◼
►
meeting and interesting scenes with
[TS]
00:32:00
◼
►
Joseph gordon-levitt and bruce willis
[TS]
00:32:02
◼
►
and also i enjoy that
[TS]
00:32:04
◼
►
fast-forward of sort of like here's what
[TS]
00:32:06
◼
►
would have happened if you had killed
[TS]
00:32:07
◼
►
him then this is the life that you would
[TS]
00:32:10
◼
►
have led which is what leads him back
[TS]
00:32:11
◼
►
although again I i have that moment of
[TS]
00:32:14
◼
►
like we'll wait but if he came back and
[TS]
00:32:15
◼
►
now he didn't kill him why is he still
[TS]
00:32:17
◼
►
here and are these parallel universes
[TS]
00:32:20
◼
►
but no they're not because if you kill
[TS]
00:32:21
◼
►
yourself them things disappear and
[TS]
00:32:23
◼
►
there's no paradoxes paradoxes are
[TS]
00:32:26
◼
►
prohibited in this universe
[TS]
00:32:27
◼
►
sure well but what about things like
[TS]
00:32:30
◼
►
somebody watching his fingers disappear
[TS]
00:32:33
◼
►
yeah like that's a great comparison with
[TS]
00:32:34
◼
►
us back to you better not but back to
[TS]
00:32:37
◼
►
the future like that's a great
[TS]
00:32:37
◼
►
comparison because they both did very
[TS]
00:32:39
◼
►
similar things were like things that are
[TS]
00:32:41
◼
►
going on now somehow affect the past
[TS]
00:32:44
◼
►
which affect you in your current
[TS]
00:32:45
◼
►
situation which really makes no sense
[TS]
00:32:47
◼
►
but for some reason like in a silly you
[TS]
00:32:50
◼
►
know kind of adventure comedy romp movie
[TS]
00:32:51
◼
►
like back to the future find the guy's
[TS]
00:32:53
◼
►
hand phase-out was playing guitar
[TS]
00:32:55
◼
►
everyone's fine with it right in this
[TS]
00:32:56
◼
►
movie that was trying to be so like here
[TS]
00:32:58
◼
►
are rules or whatever that is perhaps
[TS]
00:33:00
◼
►
the dumbest rule that somehow because
[TS]
00:33:02
◼
►
we've got your other self and we cut off
[TS]
00:33:04
◼
►
his fingers now you find yourself back
[TS]
00:33:06
◼
►
in the exact same position you have been
[TS]
00:33:07
◼
►
before we didn't like everything else
[TS]
00:33:09
◼
►
happen exactly the same the only
[TS]
00:33:10
◼
►
difference is now you don't have your
[TS]
00:33:11
◼
►
fingers you would never be in the same
[TS]
00:33:12
◼
►
position and same generation if you
[TS]
00:33:14
◼
►
don't have your finger and you wouldn't
[TS]
00:33:15
◼
►
remember you would you be like oh I
[TS]
00:33:17
◼
►
always didn't have
[TS]
00:33:17
◼
►
finger instead of being like holy cow i
[TS]
00:33:20
◼
►
lost a finger will know you always
[TS]
00:33:22
◼
►
didn't have a finger and it's the same
[TS]
00:33:24
◼
►
and it's the same rules and more lessons
[TS]
00:33:26
◼
►
back to the future but totally just does
[TS]
00:33:27
◼
►
not work in this movie that rule doesn't
[TS]
00:33:29
◼
►
work here

that and that also seems like i got
[TS]
00:33:40
◼
►
really bad like it makes them leaving
[TS]
00:33:42
◼
►
messages on answering machine look like

[TS]
00:33:55
◼
►
didn't make a whole lot of sense i mean
[TS]
00:33:57
◼
►
I the way it's executed in the movie is
[TS]
00:33:58
◼
►
fascinating right it's like oh my God
[TS]
00:34:00
◼
►
look what's happening
[TS]
00:34:01
◼

take the guy you want to kill and send
[TS]
00:34:04
◼
►
it back in time into a volcano him into

sense when you die
[TS]
00:34:16
◼

ok now for the ocean whatever thats
[TS]
00:34:17
◼

[TS]
00:34:18
◼
►
that by the end of the movie like people
[TS]
00:34:21
◼
►
are being torn apart by telekinesis and
[TS]
00:34:22
◼

00:34:23
◼

somewhere
[TS]

00:34:26
◼

where bruce willis just said it's
[TS]
00:34:28
◼
►
complicated
[TS]
00:34:29
◼

00:34:31
◼

[TS]
00:34:33
◼
►
fun in Back to the Future to where he
[TS]
00:34:35
◼
►
makes a diagram but the idea that they
[TS]
00:34:37
◼
►
made us think they were going to explain
[TS]
00:34:39
◼
►
the rules mother said ma'am yeah well I
[TS]
00:34:41
◼
►
didn't he didn't want to explain like
[TS]
00:34:43
◼
►
paradoxes and timelines they had
[TS]
00:34:44
◼
►
established the rules but it's like but
[TS]
00:34:46
◼
►
wait a second like the person the movie
[TS]
00:34:47
◼
►
is about to consider the dumb rules and
[TS]
00:34:49
◼
►
merciless don't think about the dumb
[TS]
00:34:51
◼
►
rules just like Bruce Willis in this too
[TS]
00:34:55
◼
►
I I think he's he's got this you know
[TS]
00:34:58
◼
►
he's he's tired and he's kind of old lug
[TS]
00:35:01
◼
►
and he's got regret and you know there
[TS]
00:35:04
◼
►
are a lot of things i like I liked about
[TS]
00:35:05
◼
►
him in this movie it is weird when it
[TS]
00:35:07
◼
►
turns into Chronicle toward the end
[TS]
00:35:10
◼
►
where it's all you nor the x-men it's
[TS]
00:35:11
◼
►
all this telekinesis and a showdown at a
[TS]
00:35:13
◼
►
farm and and it didn't go where I
[TS]
00:35:15
◼
►
expected it and I like the novelty of
[TS]
00:35:17
◼
►
that but uh I don't know that is for a
[TS]
00:35:20
◼
►
movie maybe the bar was set too high for
[TS]
00:35:22
◼
►
me going in and so my expectations were
[TS]
00:35:24
◼
►
just raised but I I I came out of this
[TS]
00:35:26
◼
►
movie thinking it was kind of a mess and
[TS]
00:35:30
◼
►
I i liked parts of it but i'm not sure i
[TS]
00:35:32
◼
►
liked it as a whole and that maybe it
[TS]
00:35:34
◼
►
was just overhyped maybe that's the
[TS]
00:35:35
◼
►
reason I felt that way
[TS]
00:35:36
◼
►
yeah I'm not gonna be like oh I liked
[TS]
00:35:38
◼
►
his older albums but brick when Perseus
[TS]
00:35:41
◼
►
i enjoy doing so much more than this
[TS]
00:35:42
◼
►
moving I thought brick was just
[TS]
00:35:44
◼
►
fantastic and I even like Terriers which
[TS]
00:35:46
◼
►
apparently also did an episode of
[TS]
00:35:48
◼
►
looking at IMDB page but I like this a
[TS]
00:35:50
◼
►
lot more than brick but break just you
[TS]
00:35:52
◼
►
know about the brother the brothers
[TS]
00:35:53
◼
►
bloom but no fans of that either

00:35:55
◼
►

[TS]
00:35:56
◼
►

[TS]
00:35:59
◼
►

[TS]
00:36:00
◼
►
break if you haven't because i really
[TS]
00:36:02
◼
►
like that I think it's worth watching
[TS]
00:36:03
◼
►
it's very its kind of maybe it's like a
[TS]
00:36:05
◼
►
one-trick pony but that trick is really
[TS]
00:36:07
◼
►
everybody but me really likes it that if
[TS]
00:36:10
◼
►
mommy hates 12 monkeys so take that as
[TS]
00:36:13
◼
►
you ride with your head up with nothing
[TS]
00:36:15
◼
►
I like real film noir not see I don't
[TS]
00:36:18
◼
►
inject well I I didn't object to loopers
[TS]
00:36:21
◼
►
really lousy the time-travel rules
[TS]
00:36:24
◼
►
because I i like that at least seem to
[TS]
00:36:26
◼
►
to stick to them
[TS]
00:36:28
◼
►
the thing that took me out of the movie
[TS]
00:36:30
◼
►
but besides that third act where it's
[TS]
00:36:31
◼
►
now all about superheroes instead now
[TS]
00:36:34
◼
►
what was this notion that I'm I I don't
[TS]
00:36:37
◼
►
like when the same person is from two
[TS]
00:36:40
◼
►
different times fights with himself
[TS]
00:36:42
◼
►
because I I don't know I feel like if my
[TS]
00:36:45
◼
►
future self came to me I could be very
[TS]
00:36:47
◼
►
quickly convinced that we were the same
[TS]
00:36:48
◼
►
person you can make out the whole time
[TS]
00:36:50
◼
►
like right i don't understand most of
[TS]
00:36:53
◼
►
the time and like hash embrace but I
[TS]
00:36:55
◼
►
feel like there's it doesn't make any
[TS]
00:36:56
◼
►
sense to fight with a few yourself to me
[TS]
00:36:58
◼
►
that is a paradox much more than
[TS]
00:36:59
◼
►
anything else the movie doesn't make
[TS]
00:37:01
◼
►
you gotta get along if my future self

◼
►

◼
►

who don't like brick and we be
[TS]
00:37:07
◼

00:38:23
◼
►

◼
►
you know you had kids with super powers
[TS]
00:38:33
◼
►
and tianjin super what about like
[TS]
00:38:35
◼

babysitter go searching for that it's

[TS]
00:38:46
◼
►
with Superman the toddler one of the
[TS]
00:38:50
◼
►
things i did like about looper was that
[TS]
00:38:52
◼
►
you know it so you have the time-travel
[TS]
00:38:55
◼
►
you have the the sort of mutant
[TS]
00:38:57
◼
►
superpower kid but you also have film
[TS]
00:39:00
◼
►
noir and you also have like Shane
[TS]
00:39:03
◼
►
basically you know your hero defending
[TS]
00:39:06
◼
►
the the woman and the child and I kinda
[TS]
00:39:09
◼
►
like that it it did take that Shane
[TS]
00:39:13
◼
►
template and then resolved it in a way
[TS]
00:39:17
◼
►
that Shane would never have done
[TS]
00:39:19
◼
►
although the kid would still go come
[TS]
00:39:21
◼
►
back trying not to spoil it but you know
[TS]
00:39:26
◼
►
and we will play the spoiler horn at the
[TS]
00:39:28
◼
►
end of the episode that it wasn't 12 and
[TS]
00:39:30
◼
►
12 monkeys the members forces all i see
[TS]
00:39:32
◼
►
are dead people i don't remember the
[TS]
00:39:33
◼
►
movies before after success before is
[TS]
00:39:35
◼
►
before four or maybe it was after
[TS]
00:39:38
◼
►
oh it was both it depends what time when
[TS]
00:39:41
◼
►
you're in
[TS]
00:39:42
◼
►
alright i did find it interesting too
[TS]
00:39:44
◼
►
that both 12 monkeys and looper don't
[TS]
00:39:48
◼
►
just deal with time travel but the idea
[TS]
00:39:50
◼
►
of the time-travel screws up your brain
[TS]
00:39:52
◼
►
right right
[TS]
00:39:54
◼
►
he's crazy and 12 monkeys and he's kind
[TS]
00:39:57
◼
►
of losing his mind the longer he's in
[TS]
00:40:00
◼
►
the past and looper which is weird but I
[TS]
00:40:03
◼
►
like it
[TS]
00:40:03
◼
►
well you know the idea that time travel
[TS]
00:40:05
◼
►
is a really bad idea
[TS]
00:40:06
◼
►
yes no on so many levels yeah and then
[TS]
00:40:10
◼
►
they organized crime comes in and they
[TS]
00:40:11
◼
►
put their own bad idea of how to time
[TS]
00:40:13
◼
►
travel on top of the bad idea
[TS]
00:40:16
◼
►
I feel like in addition to the just eat
[TS]
00:40:17
◼
►
the general idea of sending people back
[TS]
00:40:19
◼
►
in time not being a great idea
[TS]
00:40:20
◼
►
like why have people in charge of
[TS]
00:40:22
◼
►
killing themselves that seems like just
[TS]
00:40:24
◼
►
like that's an administrative decision
[TS]
00:40:26
◼
►
that they made that I don't agree with
[TS]
00:40:28
◼
►
it so easy to send you back to someone
[TS]
00:40:30
◼
►
who won't have a moral problem with
[TS]
00:40:31
◼
►
killing yeah it seems like you know like
[TS]
00:40:33
◼
►
there's 30 other guys and that they have
[TS]
00:40:35
◼
►
a ready supply of those people
[TS]
00:40:37
◼
►
yeah they use one of them I i would kill
[TS]
00:40:40
◼
►
them in the future and send the body
[TS]
00:40:41
◼
►
back to the ocean and done or I feel
[TS]
00:40:45
◼
►
like if you have time travel
[TS]
00:40:47
◼
►
you could probably make a whole lot of
[TS]
00:40:48
◼
►
money without going to all the effort of
[TS]
00:40:50
◼
►
being the mob
[TS]
00:40:52
◼
►
yeah yes betting on horse dreams whether
[TS]
00:40:55
◼
►
they only intended well I guess yeah we
[TS]
00:40:57
◼
►
don't know today only in time travel in
[TS]
00:40:58
◼
►
one direction or something weird
[TS]
00:41:01
◼
►
yeah the whole idea of i was actually
[TS]
00:41:04
◼
►
let down by the idea of the Rainmaker
[TS]
00:41:06
◼
►
who is consolidating all the gangs and I
[TS]
00:41:09
◼
►
thought that was going to be an
[TS]
00:41:11
◼
►
interesting you know this is why this is
[TS]
00:41:13
◼
►
accelerating but it was sort of shadowy
[TS]
00:41:15
◼
►
and then at the end we get this
[TS]
00:41:16
◼
►
revelation of like oh that the kid is
[TS]
00:41:18
◼
►
gonna grow up to be the Rainmaker or is
[TS]
00:41:21
◼
►
he and i kinda wanted the other kids to
[TS]
00:41:24
◼
►
be the Rainmaker
[TS]
00:41:25
◼
►
yeah i was just like okay yes i would
[TS]
00:41:27
◼
►
have been a nice twist it will and it
[TS]
00:41:29
◼
►
was the law of the economy of characters
[TS]
00:41:32
◼
►
to happening there where it's like well
[TS]
00:41:33
◼
►
who could it be there you know it's the
[TS]
00:41:36
◼
►
people we've known apparently because it
[TS]
00:41:38
◼
►
has to be somebody we have known and
[TS]
00:41:39
◼
►
yeah i don't know i don't know like i
[TS]
00:41:42
◼
►
said i don't think it was a bad movie
[TS]
00:41:44
◼
►
but it didn't you know people were
[TS]
00:41:45
◼
►
raving about it and maybe I've seen too
[TS]
00:41:47
◼
►
many time travel movies to be impressed
[TS]
00:41:49
◼
►
I I saw it on like opening day and went
[TS]
00:41:51
◼
►
into it not knowing too much about it
[TS]
00:41:53
◼
►
and I enjoyed it a lot but you know i'd
[TS]
00:41:56
◼
►
say it's one of the better science
[TS]
00:41:56
◼
►
fiction movies i saw that year but that
[TS]
00:41:58
◼
►
is a yeah lobar yeah I thought it was
[TS]
00:42:00
◼
►
really fun but i think the next one down
[TS]
00:42:02
◼
►
the line was like Prometheus or
[TS]
00:42:03
◼
►
something you know I thought was really
[TS]
00:42:05
◼
►
fun when I was walking out of it and by
[TS]
00:42:07
◼
►
the time I got home I thought of a lot
[TS]
00:42:08
◼
►
of plot holes but didn't really affect
[TS]
00:42:10

00:43:29
◼
►
a little you know same time movie like
[TS]
00:43:30
◼
►
he can't do all those well and so I
[TS]
00:43:33
◼
►
would have concentrated on the ones that
[TS]
00:43:34
◼
►
were the most interesting and sacrifice
[TS]
00:43:36
◼
►
the bunch of others when when I i will
[TS]
00:43:38
◼
►
they did like a lot of the acting in it

acting in that so there were a lot of
[TS]
00:44:08
◼
►
scenes in this that reminded me of that

show-off

thousand dollars of it by a chain
[TS]
00:45:19
◼

Carruth literally made this movie for
[TS]
00:45:21
◼
►
seven thousand dollars but is overrated
[TS]
00:45:23
◼
►
shows uh well it's 47 thousand dollars
[TS]
00:45:26
◼
►
its kind of
[TS]
00:45:27
◼
►
amazing as good as it looks but it's
[TS]
00:45:29
◼
►
definitely a seven thousand dollar movie
[TS]
00:45:30
◼
►
I i really love this movie but i also
[TS]
00:45:34
◼
►
have no judgments against people who
[TS]
00:45:36
◼
►
hate it because it is weird and it is
[TS]
00:45:39
◼
►
hard to follow and it's mumbly and lots
[TS]
00:45:43
◼
►
of things don't happen for a while and
[TS]
00:45:45
◼
►
then when things start happening they
[TS]
00:45:47
◼
►
happen in rapid succession and you go
[TS]
00:45:48
◼
►
what wait a second what happened but as
[TS]
00:45:52
◼
►
a time travel movie what I like about it
[TS]
00:45:53
◼
►
is it feels to me appropriately
[TS]
00:45:56
◼
►
confusing for time travel i guess that's
[TS]
00:45:59
◼
►
the thing I liked about it is consistent
[TS]
00:46:00
◼
►
in its own way and yet completely crazy
[TS]
00:46:03
◼
►
in a way that I think time travel would
[TS]
00:46:05
◼
►
be so I like that about it i'm
[TS]
00:46:07
◼
►
interested what you guys think of a
[TS]
00:46:09
◼
►
primer that's what i was saying i
[TS]
00:46:10
◼
►
thought i had the hardest rules of time
[TS]
00:46:12
◼
►
travel because it was like no time
[TS]
00:46:14
◼
►
travel messes you up
[TS]
00:46:17
◼
►
it is confusing if you're an observer or
[TS]
00:46:20
◼
►
participants anybody it is doesn't act
[TS]
00:46:22
◼
►
in the way that you expected to and it's
[TS]
00:46:25
◼
►
totally hardcore of like we are you know
[TS]
00:46:28
◼
►
they even had seems like here we're
[TS]
00:46:31
◼
►
going to show you with a pencil paper
[TS]
00:46:32
◼
►
how this thing works or whatever but
[TS]
00:46:34
◼
►
like that's just it within the context
[TS]
00:46:36
◼
►
of the movie once people start time
[TS]
00:46:37
◼
►
traveling it's like sorry it's time
[TS]
00:46:39
◼
►
travel it's going to be confusing and
[TS]
00:46:41
◼
►
yes and the model they have ya is our
[TS]
00:46:44
◼
►
the the rules are confusing which I like
[TS]
00:46:46
◼
►
to like the system they have laid out is
[TS]
00:46:48
◼
►
a confusing system just you know simply
[TS]
00:46:50
◼
►
how the box works it is not simple even
[TS]
00:46:53
◼
►
it is most basic level before it starts
[TS]
00:46:55
◼
►
being experienced before you before you
[TS]
00:46:56
◼
►
before you even get some the box just
[TS]
00:46:58
◼
►
explain how the box works like
[TS]
00:46:59
◼
►
understanding that rule system and then
[TS]
00:47:01
◼
►
it's like a game where they teach you a
[TS]
00:47:03
◼
►
mechanic like here's why jumping works
[TS]
00:47:05
◼
►
and here's our weapon works right and
[TS]
00:47:06
◼
►
then they slowly ramp you up this one is
[TS]
00:47:08
◼
►
like they teach you a mechanic
[TS]
00:47:09
◼
►
you don't understand the mechanics and
[TS]
00:47:11
◼
►
then they put your last level of the
[TS]
00:47:12
◼
►
game and before they tell you that
[TS]
00:47:14
◼
►
there's time travel in the movie you're
[TS]
00:47:16
◼
►
already on at least the third time
[TS]
00:47:18
◼
►
through some of the essence
[TS]
00:47:20
◼
►
yes you think you're watching the
[TS]
00:47:21
◼
►
discovery of it and then realize that
[TS]
00:47:23
◼
►
it's actually already been well
[TS]
00:47:25
◼
►
discovered i think that's debatable I've
[TS]
00:47:27
◼
►
seen the big chart and everything I
[TS]
00:47:28
◼
►
don't you can you can see a lot of early
[TS]
00:47:30
◼
►
scenes as the first time TSU works
[TS]
00:47:33
◼
►
perfectly well because they do show you
[TS]
00:47:34
◼
►
the same thing
[TS]
00:47:35
◼
►
the original seems yes but the first
[TS]
00:47:37
◼
►
scene where a biz up on
[TS]
00:47:39
◼
►
building looking down at Aaron all you
[TS]
00:47:41
◼
►
got the head Brian that's at least the
[TS]
00:47:43
◼
►
third time that scene is played out
[TS]
00:47:45
◼
►
right but you cannot there's also an
[TS]
00:47:47
◼
►
interpretation that works within the
[TS]
00:47:48
◼
►
rules of the movie that the first time
[TS]
00:47:50
◼
►
you see a lot of the scenes is actually
[TS]
00:47:51
◼
►
not the first time that they occurred in
[TS]
00:47:53
◼
►
the timelines because you know in the
[TS]
00:47:55
◼
►
times when things go well on the
[TS]
00:47:56
◼
►
headphones go off without a hitch
[TS]
00:47:58
◼
►
it looks the same as the first time
[TS]
00:48:00
◼
►
that's the whole point
[TS]
00:48:01
◼
►
yeah yeah I like um and I know again
[TS]
00:48:05
◼
►
there are reasons why people and i'm
[TS]
00:48:06
◼
►
waiting because I know Lex didn't like
[TS]
00:48:08
◼
►
this movie i think the things that I
[TS]
00:48:10
◼
►
like about it is I I like that it's a
[TS]
00:48:12
◼
►
bunch of nerds who are trying to figure
[TS]
00:48:13
◼
►
something out i like that the idea that
[TS]
00:48:14
◼
►
time travel might be invented in this
[TS]
00:48:16
◼
►
completely random accidental way in an
[TS]
00:48:19
◼
►
office park in austin and somewhere in
[TS]
00:48:23
◼
►
Texas in Austin but it's seems like cost
[TS]
00:48:26
◼
►
ya will say it's austin uh and and you
[TS]
00:48:30
◼
►
know they figure it out slowly they
[TS]
00:48:32
◼
►
think they're doing something else and
[TS]
00:48:34
◼
►
they're wondering there's a guy i think
[TS]
00:48:36
◼
►
a nice scene when they when the good
[TS]
00:48:37
◼
►
they go to the guy who's like this is
[TS]
00:48:39
◼
►
months of growth on this penny or
[TS]
00:48:41
◼
►
whatever it is we love we bore a weeble
[TS]
00:48:44
◼
►
that's right
[TS]
00:48:45
◼
►
uh I like all of that that that they
[TS]
00:48:48
◼
►
they don't know what they're doing you
[TS]
00:48:50
◼
►
know that they just suddenly have this
[TS]
00:48:52
◼
►
thing and then and then we understand
[TS]
00:48:54
◼
►
again it's a movie that nerds can love
[TS]
00:48:56
◼
►
because it explainers it explains like
[TS]
00:49:00
◼
►
in an interesting way it's not a magic
[TS]
00:49:02
◼
►
portal that you step through you have to
[TS]
00:49:04
◼
►
get in a box with an oxygen tank and
[TS]
00:49:05
◼
►
wait there as you go back
[TS]
00:49:06
◼
►
second-by-second I kinda like that
[TS]
00:49:08
◼
►
mechanic that it's it's really hard it's
[TS]
00:49:11
◼
►
weird it's what you know it's perfectly
[TS]
00:49:14
◼
►
reasonably what time travel would be
[TS]
00:49:16
◼
►
when you discovered time travel which is
[TS]
00:49:18
◼
►
not easy
[TS]
00:49:19
◼
►
I don't know if it's it's the fact that
[TS]
00:49:21
◼
►
it's hard as it is realistic but not the
[TS]
00:49:23
◼
►
amended mechanics I'm willing to give it
[TS]
00:49:24
◼
►
a pass on that but it's not real time
[TS]
00:49:26
◼
►
travel John I know you know the secrets
[TS]
00:49:28
◼
►
of the rear travel but that's how we
[TS]
00:49:31
◼
►
look so yeah but it seems really wish to
[TS]
00:49:33
◼
►
me that it would be weird and hard and
[TS]
00:49:34
◼
►
that that not what we expect from the
[TS]
00:49:36
◼
►
movies and the idea that it's discovered
[TS]
00:49:38
◼
►
by accident and yeah i mean this movie
[TS]
00:49:40
◼
►
is very INXS unaccessible the amount we
[TS]
00:49:43
◼
►
are just the the opening sequence with
[TS]
00:49:45
◼
►
the the nerds who are wearing ties
[TS]
00:49:47
◼
►
sitting in a kitchen putting something
[TS]
00:49:48
◼
►
two envelopes and there
[TS]
00:49:50
◼
►
talking over each other and there
[TS]
00:49:51
◼
►
mumbling and there's four characters two
[TS]
00:49:53
◼
►
of them were not actually going to see
[TS]
00:49:54
◼
►
that much yeah it's you know there's
[TS]
00:49:56
◼
►
there's a lot in that first like like 20
[TS]
00:49:58
◼
►
minutes that like I could see a lot of
[TS]
00:50:00
◼
►
people pretty justifiably turning this
[TS]
00:50:03
◼
►
movie off especially for a 78 with
[TS]
00:50:05
◼
►
minute yes spent 20 minutes of nothing
[TS]
00:50:07
◼
►
happening
[TS]
00:50:08
◼
►
yeah well that's why works as a film
[TS]
00:50:10
◼
►
festival movie though because film
[TS]
00:50:11
◼
►
festival ways they love that you go in
[TS]
00:50:13
◼
►
it's a bunch of people in the kitchen
[TS]
00:50:14
◼
►
you don't know what it's about and then
[TS]
00:50:16
◼
►
they hit you in the film festival people
[TS]
00:50:17
◼
►
love that but you compare that to the
[TS]
00:50:19
◼
►
final 20 minutes which is right about
[TS]
00:50:21
◼
►
when they say yes maybe we can purposely
[TS]
00:50:24
◼
►
affect the past and then think just go
[TS]
00:50:26

completely crazy and every day the
[TS]
00:50:29
◼
►
director had throating immediately then
[TS]
00:50:31
◼
►
the movies over
[TS]
00:50:31
◼
►
i I've seen this movie I think three or
[TS]
00:50:33
◼
►
four times now the most recent time like
[TS]
00:50:35
◼
►
two days ago when I was rewatching it
[TS]
00:50:36
◼
►
was feeling like really good like I'm
[TS]
00:50:38
◼
►
finally getting it and then like you
[TS]
00:50:39
◼
►
know I rewatched the last 12 minutes
[TS]
00:50:41
◼
►
like you have twice and I was like oh so
[TS]
00:50:44
◼
►
close and yet no I don't you know it's
[TS]
00:50:46
◼
►
like I've seen the chart and I could
[TS]
00:50:47
◼
►
like replicate that chart for somebody
[TS]
00:50:48
◼
►
but i could not construct that chart
[TS]
00:50:50
◼
►
from my own viewing of the monster movie
[TS]
00:50:53
◼
►
I've seen it like five or six times and
[TS]
00:50:55
◼
►
every time it's like that where I get to
[TS]
00:50:58
◼
►
the point I'm like wait a second
[TS]
00:50:59
◼
►
hydrocodone looks like i can look at the
[TS]
00:51:02
◼
►
terminus ya doing when they step matches
[TS]
00:51:04
◼
►
to what I've seen it's like it's like if
[TS]
00:51:06
◼
►
I was looking at like a matter you know
[TS]
00:51:07
◼
►
math problem when I'd be like yeah that
[TS]
00:51:09
◼
►
solution makes sense but I could never
[TS]
00:51:10
◼
►
solve this problem but there but there
[TS]
00:51:12
◼
►
are multiple possible solutions given
[TS]
00:51:13
◼
►
the rule that string variable yeah there
[TS]
00:51:15
◼
►
are multiple possible solutions that fit
[TS]
00:51:17
◼
►
and like and I think the trend is the
[TS]
00:51:19
◼
►
simplest basically I was gonna say my
[TS]
00:51:20
◼
►
favorite thing about the movie for Lex
[TS]
00:51:22
◼
►
craft over but now i'm going to crap all
[TS]
00:51:23
◼
►
over a little bit a lot of the problem
[TS]
00:51:25
◼
►
with this movie aside from like pacing
[TS]
00:51:26
◼
►
and low budget stuff like that
[TS]
00:51:28
◼
►
is that a lot and a lot of the reason
[TS]
00:51:30
◼
►
it's hard to understand it it fails to
[TS]
00:51:32
◼
►
communicate the ideas that i wanted to
[TS]
00:51:34
◼
►
communicate like if you watch a movie a
[TS]
00:51:35
◼
►
hundred times you can see I can see in
[TS]
00:51:37
◼
►
this scene this is what the director was
[TS]
00:51:38
◼
►
trying to say but it does a bad job of
[TS]
00:51:41
◼
►
community that either because they have
[TS]
00:51:42
◼
►
an important conversation and they only
[TS]
00:51:44
◼
►
got one take of it and then decided to
[TS]
00:51:46
◼
►
buy it by running water like
[TS]
00:51:48
◼
►
16-millimeter film is our attention and
[TS]
00:51:50
◼
►
you can't really defend that's what I
[TS]
00:51:53
◼
►
mean he specifically said this I guess
[TS]
00:51:55
◼
►
this movie basically couldn't have been
[TS]
00:51:57
◼
►
longer than 80 minutes because they're
[TS]
00:51:58
◼
►
just there was no other footage right
[TS]
00:52:00
◼
►
they did like maximum to take some
[TS]
00:52:02
◼
►
everything right
[TS]
00:52:02
◼
►
it's also like it didn't even it didn't
[TS]
00:52:05
◼
►
even succeed on the basic level just
[TS]
00:52:07
◼
►
communicating waterbar be communicated
[TS]
00:52:08
◼
►
the same because of budget and because
[TS]
00:52:10
◼
►
of you know experience all things and
[TS]
00:52:11
◼
►
that is probably the worst thing about
[TS]
00:52:13
◼
►
this movie you can see like there's a
[TS]
00:52:14
◼
►
confidence problem and that contributes
[TS]
00:52:17
◼
►
to its difficulty understanding the
[TS]
00:52:18
◼
►
people who love the movies i'll know
[TS]
00:52:19
◼
►
it's don't you understand so awesome is
[TS]
00:52:21
◼
►
so hard to understand sometimes it's
[TS]
00:52:22
◼
►
hard to understand because the guy did a
[TS]
00:52:23
◼
►
bad job is right and that's that's my
[TS]
00:52:26
◼
►
problem is that it's not i don't mind a
[TS]
00:52:28
◼
►
movie where you have to work extra hard
[TS]
00:52:29
◼
►
to understand i don't mind movie where
[TS]
00:52:31
◼
►
you get more out of it by watching it
[TS]
00:52:32
◼
►
multiple times or even if you basically
[TS]
00:52:34
◼
►
need to watch at multiple times
[TS]
00:52:36
◼
►
understand it but i think that that was
[TS]
00:52:38
◼
►
not necessarily their intent when they
[TS]
00:52:40
◼
►
made this movie i think it is a side
[TS]
00:52:41
◼
►
effect of not just pour filmmaking in a
[TS]
00:52:45
◼
►
sense of its low budget like I think you
[TS]
00:52:46
◼
►
could show somebody this movie and they
[TS]
00:52:48
◼
►
would not necessarily recognize that it
[TS]
00:52:49
◼
►
was made for seven thousand dollars i
[TS]
00:52:50
◼
►
think that's a testament to whatever
[TS]
00:52:52
◼
►
grilling skills they had that they
[TS]
00:52:54
◼
►
pulled off what they did I think it is a
[TS]
00:52:56
◼
►
script that is flawed and I i get and I
[TS]
00:53:00
◼
►
respect the notion of i'm going to write
[TS]
00:53:02
◼
►
this with you know i'm not going to
[TS]
00:53:04
◼
►
pander to the audience i'm not going to
[TS]
00:53:06
◼
►
make any of the dialogue accessible in
[TS]
00:53:09
◼
►
the first half of the film is losing
[TS]
00:53:12
◼
►
more money i shot and I started and I
[TS]
00:53:13
◼
►
paid for its for be but you have to do
[TS]
00:53:15
◼
►
something you have to be involved in
[TS]
00:53:17
◼
►
math maybe you know I do a lot of
[TS]
00:53:19
◼
►
multi-screen stuff there's a lot of
[TS]
00:53:22
◼
►
movies and television that I consumed
[TS]
00:53:23
◼
►
while i also have a laptop on my lap or
[TS]
00:53:25
◼
►
an iPad in my hand this is not a movie
[TS]
00:53:27
◼
►
for you right so there's you know when i
[TS]
00:53:29
◼
►
watch this movie the first time I made
[TS]
00:53:31
◼
►
that mistake so when I rewatched it last
[TS]
00:53:33
◼
►
week for this podcast I said you know
[TS]
00:53:35
◼
►
there will be no distractions nobody was
[TS]
00:53:36
◼
►
home the kids were all asleep my wife
[TS]
00:53:38
◼
►
was as it was just me and the TV and I
[TS]
00:53:40
◼
►
really got no further i mean i've read
[TS]
00:53:42
◼
►
the charts
[TS]
00:53:43
◼
►
I've read the articles i've read
[TS]
00:53:44
◼
►
analysis I don't want to work this hard
[TS]
00:53:46
◼
►
and it's not it misses out on the
[TS]
00:53:48
◼
►
enjoyable factor like i was talking
[TS]
00:53:50
◼
►
before with 12 monkeys that there's some
[TS]
00:53:52
◼
►
kind of innate fun to me in time travel
[TS]
00:53:54
◼
►
even if it's a dark story i wanna do
[TS]
00:53:57
◼
►
something fun about it and this is just
[TS]
00:53:58
◼
►
the chores just manual labor in movie
[TS]
00:54:01
◼
►
form eight kids do you ever think your
[TS]
00:54:03
◼
►
movies didn't have the challenge of a
[TS]
00:54:04
◼
►
crossword puzzle in them yet but I have
[TS]
00:54:06
◼
►
delicate hands
[TS]
00:54:07
◼
►
this is one of my favorite movies and I
[TS]
00:54:10
◼
►
watched it so many times I'm convinced i
[TS]
00:54:11
◼
►
dunno what happened
[TS]
00:54:12
◼
►
in it and I have a correction i like to
[TS]
00:54:14
◼
►
make to that charter one scene but i
[TS]
00:54:16
◼
►
will say i noticed today we'll be
[TS]
00:54:18
◼
►
watching it if I walk out of the room i
[TS]
00:54:21
◼
►
immediately can't understand anybody
[TS]
00:54:23
◼
►
like I have to be staring at screens yes
[TS]
00:54:27
◼
►
yeah it's up Monty i'm with you this is
[TS]
00:54:30
◼
►
this is one of my favorites as well but
[TS]
00:54:33
◼
►
it's not for everybody eat it one of the
[TS]
00:54:35
◼
►
things I like about it is that I feel
[TS]
00:54:36
◼
►
like it is internally consistent i think
[TS]
00:54:39
◼
►
i think Lex and John are right that
[TS]
00:54:41
◼
►
there's a combination of some it in
[TS]
00:54:44
◼
►
competence or something like that of the
[TS]
00:54:47
◼
►
director because he's new to this that
[TS]
00:54:50
◼
►
is part of it but I do i do think
[TS]
00:54:52
◼
►
absolutely that this is a movie that
[TS]
00:54:54
◼
►
does not
[TS]
00:54:55
◼
►
it's gonna come to you on your own terms
[TS]
00:54:56
◼
►
and it doesn't it just doesn't care if
[TS]
00:54:59
◼
►
you don't understand it which I kind of
[TS]
00:55:00
◼
►
I'm up for that challenge and I feel
[TS]
00:55:02
◼
►
like I do understand it more now but i
[TS]
00:55:05
◼
►
love that every time i go back to it I i
[TS]
00:55:07
◼
►
get another nuance of it and i love that
[TS]
00:55:09
◼
►
it is telling a story that i haven't
[TS]
00:55:11
◼
►
seen a million times before or at least
[TS]
00:55:13
◼
►
in a way that makes me feel like I
[TS]
00:55:16
◼
►
haven't seen a million times before for
[TS]
00:55:18
◼
►
such a short movie and for such a techie
[TS]
00:55:21
◼
►
movie i love the little extra things
[TS]
00:55:24
◼
►
that puts in like I can see somebody's
[TS]
00:55:26
◼
►
bleeding from the ear because time
[TS]
00:55:28
◼
►
travel was hard on you or maybe it's
[TS]
00:55:29
◼
►
from spending all that time in a box
[TS]
00:55:31
◼
►
full of argon but then later when they
[TS]
00:55:33
◼
►
say and I can't write anymore i can see
[TS]
00:55:36
◼
►
the show you how much but I can't make
[TS]
00:55:38
◼
►
the hand do it
[TS]
00:55:39
◼
►
that's neat yeah that's disturbing thing
[TS]
00:55:43
◼
►
to have happened to the movies an
[TS]
00:55:44
◼
►
interesting contrast with another movie
[TS]
00:55:46
◼
►
that is compared to a lot of memento
[TS]
00:55:48
◼
►
which has a similar structure where you
[TS]
00:55:50
◼
►
gotta pay attention to it and you can
[TS]
00:55:52
◼
►
figure it out if you watch enough
[TS]
00:55:53
◼
►
memento is like if you had filled in all
[TS]
00:55:57
◼
►
the gaps in the script where someone
[TS]
00:55:59
◼
►
should have said something they didn't
[TS]
00:56:00
◼
►
if you had shot a slightly more complex
[TS]
00:56:01
◼
►
momento you watch it three times you get
[TS]
00:56:03
◼
►
it I get you know it you don't need a
[TS]
00:56:05
◼
►
chart you don't need to read articles
[TS]
00:56:06
◼
►
but you probably do need to see more
[TS]
00:56:08
◼
►
than one time and maybe I and momentum
[TS]
00:56:10
◼
►
has the amazing than the first time you
[TS]
00:56:12
◼
►
see it if you pay attention you will
[TS]
00:56:13
◼
►
believe you understand it by the end of
[TS]
00:56:14
◼
►
it and maybe even will
[TS]
00:56:16
◼
►
that's not true of this movie at all and
[TS]
00:56:19
◼
►
so like you get its a similar approach
[TS]
00:56:21
◼
►
to filmmaking it if you like that kind
[TS]
00:56:22
◼
►
of puzzle movie memento is kind of the
[TS]
00:56:25
◼
►
easy listening
[TS]
00:56:26
◼
►
smooth jazz version and primers like the
[TS]
00:56:29
◼
►
thrash metal or indie rocker REM in 1972
[TS]
00:56:33
◼
►
we'll see i think the other piece
[TS]
00:56:34
◼
►
there's that memento you could react it
[TS]
00:56:36
◼
►
and people have I think you can even get
[TS]
00:56:37
◼
►
a DVD that does it you can re-edit
[TS]
00:56:39
◼
►
momento in chronological order and
[TS]
00:56:41
◼
►
understand what's actually happening and
[TS]
00:56:43
◼
►
I don't think you can do that with
[TS]
00:56:44
◼
►
private not without additional voiceover
[TS]
00:56:47
◼
►
probably right
[TS]
00:56:48
◼
►
there's parts of primer that don't
[TS]
00:56:50
◼
►
happen in the movie there's a guy that
[TS]
00:56:52
◼
►
yeah Charles Iranian lots and lots of
[TS]
00:56:55
◼
►
the future we never see ya there's a guy
[TS]
00:56:57
◼
►
right that's one of my favorite moments
[TS]
00:56:59
◼
►
is that there's a guy who's obviously
[TS]
00:57:00
◼
►
been using the box and they don't even
[TS]
00:57:01
◼
►
know like yeah I mean we have never seen
[TS]
00:57:04
◼
►
him and he's been mentioned but how the
[TS]
00:57:07
◼
►
hell did that happen but he donated then
[TS]
00:57:08
◼
►
they're like we're not we're not going
[TS]
00:57:09
◼
►
to worry about that that's just letting
[TS]
00:57:11
◼
►
you know that you know that things are
[TS]
00:57:12
◼
►
unsettled things aren't really
[TS]
00:57:13
◼
►
problematic that is not again we're not
[TS]
00:57:14
◼
►
going to solve that guy's not gonna be
[TS]
00:57:16
◼
►
okay with calculator because that's what
[TS]
00:57:18
◼
►
it would be like if you were in that if
[TS]
00:57:19
◼
►
you're in the situation where time
[TS]
00:57:20
◼
►
travels possible things would happen
[TS]
00:57:22
◼
►
that you have no explanation for that
[TS]
00:57:23
◼
►
don't make any sense and that even
[TS]
00:57:25
◼
►
though you know time travel is possible
[TS]
00:57:26
◼
►
you still can decrease that never got
[TS]
00:57:27
◼
►
there like your your causality engine of
[TS]
00:57:30
◼
►
trying to make explain the world is
[TS]
00:57:31
◼
►
broken because something happens and you
[TS]
00:57:34
◼
►
can even use like but if he went like
[TS]
00:57:36
◼
►
this too many possibilities yeah so
[TS]
00:57:37
◼
►
that's why I mean that it's same thing
[TS]
00:57:39
◼
►
with the sort of obtusa voiceovers why
[TS]
00:57:42
◼
►
doesn't why is the voice-over say
[TS]
00:57:43
◼
►
everything like why doesn't come out and
[TS]
00:57:45
◼
►
say anything why is it all kind of like
[TS]
00:57:46
◼
►
I'm apologizing to my cell phone
[TS]
00:57:48
◼
►
answering machine about something that
[TS]
00:57:50
◼
►
happened that we both already know so i
[TS]
00:57:51
◼
►
don't have to spell it out like that the
[TS]
00:57:53
◼
►
voice-over being like that is part of
[TS]
00:57:55
◼
►
the challenge of the movie but it also
[TS]
00:57:56
◼
►
is part of the you know failing to
[TS]
00:57:58
◼
►
communicate part of the movie and it's
[TS]
00:57:59
◼
►
also part of the this is not the smooth
[TS]
00:58:01
◼
►
jazz version so it's you know that the
[TS]
00:58:04
◼
►
good things and the bad things kind of
[TS]
00:58:05
◼
►
combined with my thing in time travel
[TS]
00:58:07

movies as i always want the scientists
[TS]
00:58:09
◼
►
like i said in a 12 monkeys
[TS]
00:58:12
◼
►
the first thing you do is find out if
[TS]
00:58:13
◼
►
you can change the past well that's what
[TS]
00:58:15
◼
►
these guys did you can actually see them
[TS]
00:58:17
◼
►
tinkering saying we have time travel
[TS]
00:58:20
◼
►
what can we do with it yeah but my
[TS]
00:58:21
◼
►
favorite part of this movie and the part
[TS]
00:58:23
◼
►
that makes this whole movie for me the
[TS]
00:58:24
◼
►
first time I watched them like finally
[TS]
00:58:26
◼
►
someone has made this movie is that this
[TS]
00:58:27
◼
►
has the best and as far as I'm concerned
[TS]
00:58:29
◼
►
the only realistic scene between two
[TS]
00:58:32
◼
►
people I where one is introducing the
[TS]
00:58:35
◼
►
other something fantastical that scene
[TS]
00:58:37
◼
►
where they're at the truck and they're
[TS]
00:58:38
◼
►
saying look you're about to
[TS]
00:58:39
◼
►
something I know you're going to think
[TS]
00:58:41
◼
►
that I'm like making fun of you or that
[TS]
00:58:43
◼
►
I'm you know like that is what a dirty
[TS]
00:58:45
◼
►
person would do to preface what was
[TS]
00:58:48
◼
►
about to happen because it's the it's
[TS]
00:58:49
◼
►
you have to go in and say I know what
[TS]
00:58:51
◼
►
you're going to think because it's
[TS]
00:58:52
◼
►
ridiculous but I promise you I'm not
[TS]
00:58:55
◼
►
playing a joke on you i wouldn't do
[TS]
00:58:57
◼
►
something like that whole preface is the
[TS]
00:58:59
◼
►
most human part of this movie and i
[TS]
00:59:01
◼
►
think is you know the most realistic
[TS]
00:59:03
◼
►
part because that's what draws you win
[TS]
00:59:04
◼
►
you like the whole idea these guys are
[TS]
00:59:06
◼
►
gonna do this in their garage or like if
[TS]
00:59:07
◼
►
they didn't do this in the garage this
[TS]
00:59:09
◼
►
is how they were acting having them go
[TS]
00:59:10
◼
►
immediately to and let's go for the
[TS]
00:59:12
◼
►
stock market like that's what nerds
[TS]
00:59:13
◼
►
would do right and then of course it
[TS]
00:59:14
◼
►
goes off the rails because they're human
[TS]
00:59:15
◼
►
and it's like well we have time travel
[TS]
00:59:17
◼
►
now bad things are gonna happen and the
[TS]
00:59:19
◼
►
darker natures are gonna come out all
[TS]
00:59:20
◼
►
the stuff or whatever but that that
[TS]
00:59:22
◼
►
little nugget in the center of the movie
[TS]
00:59:23
◼
►
and that whole scene i think it's nicely
[TS]
00:59:25
◼
►
letting everything that sells the whole
[TS]
00:59:27
◼
►
movie to me oh it's the nicely let's see
[TS]
00:59:29
◼
►
it shouldn't be in the middle of a movie
[TS]
00:59:30
◼
►
it should be earlier in the movie my
[TS]
00:59:32
◼
►
favorite movie is when it ended in like
[TS]
00:59:35
◼
►
you didn't like that bet
[TS]
00:59:36
◼
►
no I did I liked that bit it just came
[TS]
00:59:38
◼
►
too late even beyond the kind of the
[TS]
00:59:40
◼
►
confusion about the time-travel elements
[TS]
00:59:42
◼
►
there's also some stuff that in there
[TS]
00:59:43
◼
►
that's confusing just in terms of not
[TS]
00:59:45
◼
►
explaining that would like there's the
[TS]
00:59:46
◼
►
whole thing we're gonna go back in and
[TS]
00:59:48
◼
►
redo the party over and over again and
[TS]
00:59:50
◼
►
why is that is the word that seem like
[TS]
00:59:52
◼
►
like like that I did I couldn't even
[TS]
00:59:54
◼
►
completely piece together who the
[TS]
00:59:56
◼
►
relationships were between them and
[TS]
00:59:58
◼
►
people rights
[TS]
00:59:58
◼
►
people rights
[TS]
01:00:00
◼
►
why that like it was like his eyes
[TS]
01:00:02
◼
►
married but he wants to be a hero right
[TS]
01:00:04
◼
►
like the details the details and
[TS]
01:00:06
◼
►
confusing and I think that that you
[TS]
01:00:08
◼
►
could potentially chalk up to the you
[TS]
01:00:10
◼
►
know this being a novice writer-director
[TS]
01:00:13
◼
►
I felt like the other stuff that was
[TS]
01:00:14
◼
►
intentionally confusing like like that
[TS]
01:00:17
◼
►
that right boys like light up that seam
[TS]
01:00:20
◼
►
is that they're trying to keep doing
[TS]
01:00:22
◼
►
that something terrible happens at the
[TS]
01:00:24
◼
►
party and they keep redoing it until
[TS]
01:00:26
◼
►
they get it right but I but their
[TS]
01:00:27
◼
►
motivation was unclear but I think
[TS]
01:00:29
◼
►
that's right that's just the part of the
[TS]
01:00:31
◼
►
movie where they've stopped hiding in a
[TS]
01:00:33
◼
►
hotel because they're afraid of
[TS]
01:00:34
◼
►
affecting anything which was a good idea
[TS]
01:00:37
◼
►
another like well screw we can define
[TS]
01:00:39
◼
►
the future however we want and my guess
[TS]
01:00:41
◼
►
and this is just a guess is that they
[TS]
01:00:43
◼
►
decided that the shooting at the party
[TS]
01:00:45
◼
►
was what led to grainger coming back
[TS]
01:00:48
◼
►
from the future so fix that
[TS]
01:00:51
◼
►
yeah it's just weird because i didn't
[TS]
01:00:52
◼
►
really explain it was the whole thing
[TS]
01:00:53
◼
►
where Aaron wanted to be the hero right
[TS]
01:00:56
◼
►
like that was like they would get things
[TS]
01:00:57
◼
►
where it wasn't like the shooting would
[TS]
01:00:59
◼
►
be prevented no one's hurt but it wasn't
[TS]
01:01:01
◼
►
satisfactory enough right and like I
[TS]
01:01:03
◼
►
didn't really get why did he care about
[TS]
01:01:06
◼
►
what was his relationship with the woman
[TS]
01:01:08
◼
►
who I thought was actually involved a
[TS]
01:01:09
◼
►
but they don't really explain that life
[TS]
01:01:11
◼
►
you know there was that that to me was
[TS]
01:01:13
◼
►
like wire but I didn't get that there's
[TS]
01:01:15
◼
►
a lot of technical detail in this movie
[TS]
01:01:17
◼
►
not so much with the character detail
[TS]
01:01:21
◼
►
let me guess you guys are are sort of
[TS]
01:01:23
◼
►
interesting although sort of
[TS]
01:01:25
◼
►
interchangeable at times and some of
[TS]
01:01:28
◼
►
their interaction about discovery and
[TS]
01:01:29
◼
►
enthusiasm of the discovery is good it's
[TS]
01:01:31
◼
►
possible that naming them a band Aaron
[TS]
01:01:33
◼
►
there's a problem you
[TS]
01:01:35
◼
►
I mean I liked a lot about they had a
[TS]
01:01:37
◼
►
lot of that like their interplay between
[TS]
01:01:39
◼
►
I like the discovery process where it's
[TS]
01:01:40
◼
►
kind of their going back and forth each
[TS]
01:01:43
◼
►
making kind of little breakthroughs I
[TS]
01:01:44
◼
►
thought I thought that actually kind of
[TS]
01:01:45
◼
►
modeled scientific discovery in a way
[TS]
01:01:47
◼
►
that ya never see in movies and that was
[TS]
01:01:49
◼
►
neat and and things like that and then
[TS]
01:01:51
◼
►
not understanding stuff and working
[TS]
01:01:52
◼
►
through it but but then yet it is it's
[TS]
01:01:54
◼
►
completely unclear to move kind of what
[TS]
01:01:57
◼
►
their relationships with any of these
[TS]
01:01:58
◼
►
other people are and there are other
[TS]
01:02:00
◼
►
people in the movie right are no i did
[TS]
01:02:02
◼
►
enjoy the moment speaking of other
[TS]
01:02:04
◼
►
people when they are talking a
[TS]
01:02:07
◼
►
like I don't know his characters which
[TS]
01:02:09
◼
►
but when there's one say to the other
[TS]
01:02:10
◼
►
that you should go to another hemisphere
[TS]
01:02:12
◼
►
and just live his life and don't come
[TS]
01:02:15
◼
►
I like the idea of having multiples of
[TS]
01:02:17
◼
►
you who are living a different
[TS]
01:02:18
◼
►
hemispheres that you can each have your
[TS]
01:02:19
◼
►
own take on your life i thought that was
[TS]
01:02:21
◼
►
yeah i'm gonna go to France or I'm gonna
[TS]
01:02:23
◼
►
go to Asia and i'm going to do mandarin
[TS]
01:02:26
◼
►
i'm going to build a very large box and
[TS]
01:02:29
◼
►
we believe they shot that on location
[TS]
01:02:31
◼
►
and trance on that budget have these
[TS]
01:02:33
◼
►
whole justify everybody they have to
[TS]
01:02:35
◼
►
fragment when i say when i saw that
[TS]
01:02:37
◼
►
scene because I hadn't seen this movie
[TS]
01:02:39
◼
►
in a long time when I saw that scene
[TS]
01:02:40
◼
►
again in my head that scene was so
[TS]
01:02:43
◼
►
clearly France is so clearly epic and
[TS]
01:02:45
◼
►
then you look at it again it's like
[TS]
01:02:46
◼
►
close shots of people in a room like
[TS]
01:02:48
◼
►
there's nothing to suggest it's like
[TS]
01:02:50
◼
►
Israel to suggest they didn't even try
[TS]
01:02:53
◼
►
like but somehow the first time I saw
[TS]
01:02:54
◼
►
that movie I was so on you know just for
[TS]
01:02:56
◼
►
the magic of moviemaking yep he's in
[TS]
01:02:58
◼
►
France now he's gonna build a big one of
[TS]
01:03:00
◼
►
these things like if you know the
[TS]
01:03:01
◼
►
theater of the mind works so much better
[TS]
01:03:03
◼
►
than now now i can watch it without
[TS]
01:03:04
◼
►
getting that caught up and unlike out
[TS]
01:03:06
◼
►
they there there in some guys garage yet
[TS]
01:03:08
◼
►
the guy who speaks French is that good
[TS]
01:03:11
◼
►
because we couldn't afford that that
[TS]
01:03:12
◼
►
match shot of the big-box being
[TS]
01:03:15
◼
►
constructed that would cost more than
[TS]
01:03:17
◼
►
the movie so that's a big point in favor
[TS]
01:03:19
◼
►
of this movie
[TS]
01:03:20
◼
►
this might be the only movie ever where
[TS]
01:03:22
◼
►
they have one scene in France and they
[TS]
01:03:23
◼
►
don't establish it with the Eiffel Tower
[TS]
01:03:25
◼
►
expensive to buy the footage David
[TS]
01:03:28
◼
►
lawyer or an actual writer of things we
[TS]
01:03:32
◼
►
look at a movie like this by a novice
[TS]
01:03:34
◼
►
writer-director I mean do you look at it
[TS]
01:03:36
◼
►
and think it's it's it's an interesting
[TS]
01:03:38
◼
►
attempt or is it is it more of a weird
[TS]
01:03:41
◼
►
failure
[TS]
01:03:42
◼
►
I'm just kind of curious what your take
[TS]
01:03:43
◼
►
on a movie like this is well I you know
[TS]
01:03:45
◼
►
I'd love to walk up to him and slap him
[TS]
01:03:47
◼
►
a few times haha
[TS]
01:03:49
◼
►
because well you know i love i really
[TS]
01:03:51
◼
►
like the logic of it and you know and
[TS]
01:03:54
◼
►
the rules and you know building the
[TS]
01:03:56
◼
►
thing in the discovery and all that you
[TS]
01:03:59
◼
►
know there's so many things that are
[TS]
01:04:00
◼
►
really well done and then the story and
[TS]
01:04:04
◼
►
the acting just don't hold up to the
[TS]
01:04:08
◼
►
rigid logic of the science of it you
[TS]
01:04:10
◼
►
know the acting I mean I think that's
[TS]
01:04:12
◼
►
why we don't know any of these other
[TS]
01:04:13
◼
►
characters is that there they don't know
[TS]
01:04:15
◼
►
any actors ahead to have it over and
[TS]
01:04:17
◼
►
also have well lines yeah yeah
[TS]
01:04:19
◼
►
the right down here a biz blonde this
[TS]
01:04:21
◼
►
movie I've seen like double digits
[TS]
01:04:24
◼
►
yeah well after I saw the first time
[TS]
01:04:27
◼
►
because i watched it twice in the last
[TS]
01:04:29
◼
►
week because I've never seen it before
[TS]
01:04:31
◼
►
and what I heard about it for years and
[TS]
01:04:34
◼
►
so I read up on it afterwards and you
[TS]
01:04:38
◼
►
know the whole thing if you know I
[TS]
01:04:39
◼
►
couldn't find any actors who couldn't
[TS]
01:04:42
◼
►
inject you know they injected too much
[TS]
01:04:44
◼
►
drama into it so we decided to do it
[TS]
01:04:46
◼
►
ourselves and first of all I know enough
[TS]
01:04:49
◼
►
actors in Texas to know that
[TS]
01:04:51
◼
►
yeah there are people who can do that
[TS]
01:04:52
◼
►
but if he had been able to step outside
[TS]
01:04:56
◼
►
and see someone else doing it then he
[TS]
01:04:58
◼
►
might have seen the problems with it
[TS]
01:05:00
◼
►
um you know Woody Allen can get away
[TS]
01:05:03
◼
►
with that and even Woody Allen has
[TS]
01:05:05
◼
►
problems with some of his movies
[TS]
01:05:06
◼
►
especially of late but you know to write
[TS]
01:05:10
◼
►
and direct and star and be the
[TS]
01:05:13
◼
►
cinematographer that's too much for your
[TS]
01:05:16
◼
►
first movie yeah and I think all of the
[TS]
01:05:18
◼
►
problems I had with the story came from
[TS]
01:05:21
◼
►
that and all the problems I had with the
[TS]
01:05:22
◼
►
acting came from because because a lot
[TS]
01:05:24
◼
►
of it is done in that sort of dragnet
[TS]
01:05:27
◼
►
monotone yeah let's get through the
[TS]
01:05:29
◼
►
scene before the film runs out we're
[TS]
01:05:30
◼
►
gonna talk like this and you talk about
[TS]
01:05:32
◼
►
me however years talk i think i know
[TS]
01:05:34
◼
►
you're a bit of a control freak is what
[TS]
01:05:36
◼
►
I want you know really I grew up with
[TS]
01:05:38
◼
►
engineers so yeah I know
[TS]
01:05:40
◼
►
yeah exactly the weird thing is that i
[TS]
01:05:42
◼
►
think he did the things that are
[TS]
01:05:43
◼
►
difficult
[TS]
01:05:44
◼
►
well and the things that are yes sadly
[TS]
01:05:46
◼
►
so for example that uses there's a
[TS]
01:05:48
◼
►
cinema star will be like that there's a
[TS]
01:05:49
◼
►
cns movie where lighters for Aaron
[TS]
01:05:52
◼
►
fights himself and you believe that our
[TS]
01:05:54
◼
►
invites himself but he couldn't afford
[TS]
01:05:55
◼
►
half hour and actually find himself he
[TS]
01:05:57
◼
►
couldn't even afford to have a guy with
[TS]
01:05:58
◼
►
a wig you see from the back fight
[TS]
01:05:59
◼
►
himself the the scene in the movie reads
[TS]
01:06:02
◼
►
as oakley that's Aaron fighting himself
[TS]
01:06:03
◼
►
that's a good job someone who you think
[TS]
01:06:05
◼
►
that's difficult to do on a budget when
[TS]
01:06:07
◼
►
you can't do any of those good things
[TS]
01:06:08
◼
►
but the basic thing of like have people
[TS]
01:06:11
◼
►
have lines to establish what they are
[TS]
01:06:12
◼
►
what their relationships are to each
[TS]
01:06:13

[TS]
01:18:11
◼

the the moment where everybody realized
