Memento
Watched the chronological cut since I hadn’t seen it before. It’s definitely vastly inferior to the regular movie but it had some surprisingly good moments and reveals that you wouldn’t get otherwise.
I also noticed for the first time that Teddy’s license plate changes from ending in ‘71U’ and ‘7IU’ multiple times throughout the movie, which is a neat detail. Crazy how this film just keeps on giving.
I read the short story by Jonothan Nolan a few weeks ago and that was awesome too - I’d strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a quick (~45 mins) read. It really highlights just how impossible it is to function with Leonard/Earl’s condition.
Also, shout out to David Bowie for the end credits music - I watch them in full every time since ‘Something in the Air’ is such a banger. Apparently Nolan wanted ‘Paranoid Android’ to play but couldn’t afford the rights, but honestly what we got is arguably even better.
Anyway I could talk about Memento for hours but I’ll cut myself short. Please watch it it’s so peak 🙏🙏🙏
