otnemem: WEIVER

That's why you should see Memento if you haven't already. Outside of that I don't feel like I can talk more about it, or we end up in spoiler country. All in all, I loved the energy and the predicaments.
But I digress. So I really felt I could have used a shot of Ginko. Your brain is constantly churning information and rebuilding the memories. I've thought about it and for me it's not that it's long, but exhausting. A friend mentioned to me that he thought it was a little long, but still enjoyable.
You can never tell who's lying and who's telling the truth, and that truth is the only thing you can hang onto, even if it's not. Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano add significant questionability throughout. Not sure if Keanu could have done it, but probably and that would have rounded off the whole matrix trifecta. Guy Pierce is great in the role, because he's creepy in that likeable kind of way.
Call it living in the moment. It's very weird for someone like me who has bad long-term memory and amazing short-term memory.
By now everyone knows the plot or gimmick; the reverse storytelling is complex and very jarring. The only question was one of execution and I have very little complaints about that. It's difficult to review because it's one of those movies I knew I would probably like anyway.
I finally saw Memento and was impressed from the get-go.
