@pikesley @TheBreadmonkey @Nickiquote it all sounds like supposedly mind-blowing SF that only blows the minds of people who've never read a Tharg's Future Shock. Which is pretty much all SF films except for Primer. See also: Black Fucking Mirror.
@internetsdairy @TheBreadmonkey @Nickiquote ooh, saw a useful Primer primer the other week

(Warning: contains spoilers for 2004 low-budget time-travel movie Primer)
@pikesley @internetsdairy @TheBreadmonkey I have never seen Primer but I did see a diagram of it once.
@pikesley @internetsdairy @TheBreadmonkey For ages I thought Primer and Looper were the same thing.
@Nickiquote @internetsdairy @TheBreadmonkey Looper is Primer with money
@Nickiquote @internetsdairy @TheBreadmonkey
If you're a fan of the time-loop movie though, I seem to recall Duncan Jones's 2011 effort Source Code being Any Good (and not only because Michelle Monaghan is in it)
@pikesley @internetsdairy @TheBreadmonkey I knew nothing about that film at all except the name, which made it sound Very Dull Indeed.
@pikesley @Nickiquote @TheBreadmonkey Time travel is such a stupid trope it's really really hard to succeed with so I go out of my way to watch it.. not in this timeline anyway
