So I've had a headache for about two days so far, and nothing I can do will make it go away. I think it's sinus related, and I'll be getting some Sudafed Sinus soon, which hopefully will make it disappear. I'm always a bit leery of sinus medication, though, since it has a tendency to make my body go pretty loopy. When the choice is between headachy and loopy, I usually opt for achy until I can't stand it anymore.
Anyway.
In honor of the new Star Trek coming out, I thought I'd give you all a recommendation for the hardest sci-fi movie I've seen in an extremely long time. A sci-fi movie so deep that people have said "anyone who says they understand everything that's happening the first time they see it is lying." And I don't doubt that statement. What makes it even cooler is that it was made by a first timer for a budget of a whole $7000. And this one can stand toe to toe with Hollywood movies. I loved it. It's called Primer, and I'm going to give it four stars. I thought a long time about that four star rating, but for what this movie is and what it wants to be . . . I just can't see a better way for it to do it. So it's a very different four star movie than the kind I typically go for, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't want to give too much away, but I will say the basics: it's a time travel movie that reminded me of Groundhog Day in some aspects--only without the humor, the romance, or the ability to easily understand what's going on. Oh--and without the repeating days. So I guess it's not much like Groundhog Day at all. Oh well. Watch it and tell me what you think.
Just don't expect to understand what's happening. :-)
And now, back to my headache.
