Actually, EVE stands for Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator, so I would have to disagree with this one...

Quizmaster has a real love affair with Memento. It's all over the place in his quizzes. I had never heard of it until discovering this site (still haven't seen it) and because of answers in quizzes I know enough about the plot to get Memento questions right. So what, is this your favorite movie or something QM?

Memento is an exceptional film. I would recommend watching it more than once because the first time you will miss several important key elements. Guy Pierce is fantastic! it's hard for some people to understand because it goes back and forth between the current time and the past, but after a couple of viewings you will get it.

That's not really accurate. There is one main arc of the film, in color, but the scenes are in reverse chronological order. The brilliant reason for this is so that the audience never has more information than the protagonist. The protagonist suffered damage to his hippocampus and cannot form new memories, so in every scene he is trying to figure things out without knowing what event came before. Playing the scenes backwards puts the audience in the same position he is in.

Then there's also a 2nd, much less important arc which consists of much shorter black and white segments which play forward in normal chronological order, but are mostly just the protagonist in his hotel room talking on the phone. These segments help set up some of the important back story.

At the film's climax, the two arcs converge. But yeah, it does help to watch it twice.

Twilight isn't really that bad. It's only a few decades late... In the '80s it could be critically well-received... It's just romantic teen movies are more easily panned than before, and a better target for bullying the fans...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but, Twilight is really that bad. Everything about it sucks. The story makes no sense, the acting is terrible, the characters are lifeless idiots, and it has some of the worst dialogue I've ever heard in my life. The fact that they're vampires changes nothing, especially in the last two movies, where you could have easily replaced all the vampires and werewolves with mutants and it would still be the same thing. I'm sure it wouldn't be well-received even if it was released in the 80s or 90s, and most teen romance movies are terrible anyway.

If you mean the 1880s I'm inclined to agree with you. At that point it would have been simultaneously the best and worst movie ever made. In any decade after that it would have rightly been seen as the garbage it is.

Makes total sense now, but the Beatrix Kiddo question had me confused. I somehow misread that as Who PLAYED Beatrix Kiddo on a mission to kill. Tried about 5 different variations of Uma Thurman before I gave up.
