Anyone planning to see it? Seems like it's getting some good reviews and sounds interesting

It has been getting pretty good reviews. It's opening here tommorrow(in the Dallas area) but I'm not sure if it'll be on many screens. If I have to drive very far then I probably won't end up seeing it. It does look interesting from the preview though.

Everyone NEEDS to see this film. I cannot imagine a better film to be released this year(maybe A.I.). The film simply blew me away. I saw it yesterday, and the friend I saw it with and I talked about it for HOURS. You have never seen a film like this before.... Do yourself a favor and see it if it's at all close to you.

I think I saw it yesterday... I can't remember. ;)


Seriously, is it ever going to play on more than a few hundred screens?

Good joke Darth :) It continues to play in more theatres...but I don't think it'll evr get wide. It added like 30 more screens this weekend I think.

I usually don't put to much stock in lists like this, but it is impressive that MEMENTO scored so high.

The real BO story is that of this film. Screw PH or even SHREK. This film has been chugging away for nearly 3 months never playing on any more than 500 screens. The fact that it's stock has been rising pretty much every week over that time is incredible, hell it broke into the top 10 on it's EIGHTH weekend and is now a fixture there! I am really rooting for this film, it needs to be remembered(nice joke eh? :) ) come Oscar time.
