        I think Hackers has the best depiction of hacking. Not because it’s accurate - because real hacking is boring to watch - but because they use visuals for it that are entertaining and replicate what’s going on mentally when it’s happening.

    The only correct way to watch primer is

    1. Watch Primer
    2. Watch a YouTube video explaining it

    Repeat these steps till you give up

      I had an idea for a version of Primer where the timeline iteration of each character hovers over them while they are onscreen. This guy is from timeline 1, this other guy is from timeline 12.

    I saw primer at Sundance years ago. The director want there, but some of the cast was on hand for Q/A after.

    One guy asked, “What was the deal with the clones?”. The cast did not know how to tell the guy he misunderstood the basic premise of the movie.
