Primer
A very personal look into science Overview: Friends Abe and Aaron are engineers who work together creating various projects. One day their invention has the unintentional side effect of time-travel, where upon discovery both men use it to their own advantage. However as the experiment continues, tensions run higher as the weight of their actions come crashing down on them. I wasn’t too sure what to make of the movie when it began. Just four guys sitting at a table, talking about their life in a way that seems obvious to them but foreign to me. I understood the words, and a vague sense of what the general idea was, but it was a bit hard to truly get the message. At least for a while.
It doesn’t really ease you into whatever the hell Aaron and Abe are doing, or why they are doing it. The movie just throws you in there head first and let you figure it out from there. But I guess it just adds to the effect of when the Actually got to their accidental discovery of Time Travel. Because by that point, you got use to their jargon to really know what they are saying, and that this is serious.
I love everything about the Time Travel in this movie. First, how it actually worked. The machine turns on, you do your thing, enter into the box later to come out exactly when the machine was on. Sort of a small scale Looper with how time seems to encircle itself. Second, I love how the time travel thing was an accidental discovery. They weren’t even intending to make it! It was some….thing with magnets that they somehow got Time Travel from it. And the first thing they do it to figure out who would want to use it. It is very scientific, practical, and entrepreneur like that. They want to see how it can work, how it can be applied, and who would want to buy something like this. And that is what leads to their eventual downfall.
The movie is shot constantly with up-close camera shots, right to the face and basically always on our two leads. It took me a while to figure out what feeling I had since the beginning because of these shots, and it was towards the end that I realized how raw and personal it felt. It was so claustrophobic. Everything surrounding the time travel felt claustrophobic from the machine being basically a coffin, to where it was being stored. And it just, feeds into this feeling of tragedy that surrounds them, like in a Shakesphere Style. How they tried to succeed and just, couldn’t. We had such a close up onto their lives and friendship that we couldn’t really see the bigger picture until it was too late to change anything, just like them. Overall: I think it is a great movie. It is a bit on the shorter side, but very personal that just sucks you in. The time travel is creative not only in the scientific way they actually plan and use the machine, but how the machine works in general. Best part, you can get it for free on youtube. If you like science fiction and morality issues, this is the movie for you.
Mr. Right
With a guy like that, you can never be wrong So this might be a short review because I honestly really absolutely love this film. It’s silly and dorky and just the right about of fluff and violence. Overview: Martha discovers her boyfriend cheating on her and is in a rut. She finds herself falling for a zany guy who claims to be a hitman. And he is. So begins their struggles of maintaining a relationship, while trying to avoid being murdered. Listen, normally, I’m not into RomComs. Like when I was younger, I saw some bad RomComs and it sort of turned me off on them. Like if I have to watch it, I would, but they aren’t my first pick. So when my sister wanted to watch this, I was just sort of expecting to suffer through it. By god am I glad I was wrong.
This movie is freaking adorable. I mean, it really it. Even during murder scenes it has this comedic charm to it. Even during serious battle moments there is this funny banter going on to make you laugh. Crewman #6. His real name is Sam Rockwell, but I first saw him in Galaxy Quest. So, Crewman #6. He’s such a fucking dork. He’s a complete weirdo but is so genuine in what he’s feeling and what he’s doing that you just love him. But don’t let that fool you, he is Still a hitman and Will kill people. We first see him killing people, so there is no hiding what he does. But it’s so fucking cool!
He dances while killing people! He literally sets a rhythm for his own fights! He break dances and tangos as he kicks their asses! That’s actually really hot. Especially with his laid back attitude and genuine interest in Martha. He’s just, a really dorky boyfriend.
Martha is such a Mess™. Like, an absolute mess. But it’s understandable, given how she broke up. She exasperates her friends with shenanigans, is also a weirdo, but it fits with this dorky charm that both she and Crewman #6 has when they are together. It’s just, they are so adorable together! So much freaking fluff! Not to say that the relationship doesn’t have it’s struggles. You know how it is, with being a hitman, having people want to kill you, having to kill people, having your potential girlfriend find out you kill people, having people pull you into this attempted assassination plot of a side gang. You know, the usual. Yeah, not much else to say about this. It’s just, flipping cute, hilarious, and a fun film about two crazy people falling in love.
Part 373 End
If Nannasprite is here, and Davesprite is here, and Arquiussprite is in English……Erisol is just lurking around somewhere, isn’t he? That’s…gonna be fun.
Anyway, Jasprose and Nepeta, pretty cute together. Not gonna lie, they really sweet. I don’t like the idea of “well we are both sprites so of course we should date” but they still cute.
Tavros kneeling before Meenah awoken something in her that was probably there from the start. At least they have the army, I don’t know if they will Listen to Meenah, but at least they have the army.
Can’t they also stockpile on weapons since this is a dream? Just duplicate the top-tier badass weapons you can find to give to the non-gods.
