I've seen it twice and, frankly, IMO, it's a snoozer. Great idea, lousy follow-thru.
"If all the world's a stage and all the people merely players, who in bloody hell hired the director?" -- Charles L Grant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQUxw9aUVik To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com From: hellomahog...@gmail.com Date: Sat, 20 Feb 2010 10:51:38 -0800 Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Re: Movie: Primer The first time that I saw it, it was on the PBS show called Imagemakers a couple of years ago. They have been repeating it on IFC this month. Its coming on IFC again on 2/28 at 3am and 11am. On Sat, Feb 20, 2010 at 10:31 AM, Kelwyn <ravena...@yahoo.com> wrote: About to watch Primer on Netflix. I looked it up. It only made $424,760 at the worldwide box office BUT it only cost $7000 to make. Not a bad return on investment. 2004 seems so long ago. I suspect a Sundance Audience Award winner would do much better at the box office, today. Oddly, while co-star David Sullivan has worked steadily since his film debut in Primer, writer-director Shane Carruth has no credits since 2004. Wikipedia says he is working on a "mind-blowing SF script" for a movie called "A Topiary," which is said to be in "pre-production." ~rave! http://www.theworldebon.blogspot.com/ --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, "Mr. Worf" <hellomahog...@...> wrote: > > Primer is a low budget indie film about two engineers that create a time > travel device in their garage.
