If you haven't, I'd recommend you see it and that you don't read anymore of this post. Now...













I have just finished watching the movie for the first time (I believe I'll have to go through it again) and I have a few questions...

1.) Why did the guy make up a fake John G. to chase? Was it because he wanted to kill the "Teddy" guy, or that he just wanted a purpose to his life?

2.) I thought there was something special about the mark on his face, but I never saw it. Is there extra footage or something?

3.) Was the main character's wife actually Diabetic?

Yes, I've seen it.

Yes, he wanted purpose in his life. As for the wife, I forget, it's been awhile since I saw it. I think she really was though. Carrie Anne Moss did a good job on this movie.

If you liked Memento so much, you should rent "The Following". It's made by the same director, Christopher Nolan that did Memento and Batman Begins. You'll like it, was pretty cool.

Memento? I forget if I have seen it :P

Spoiler warnings ahead.


It's actually be a very long time since I saw it, but I really did enjoy watching it. From what I remember, the main character was actually Sammy Jenkins and did kill his wife. They both survived the attack that left him without the ability to create short terms memories, however she couldn't live with him in his condition and wouldn't be able to escape him either, since he's got some neat detective skills.

His notes have been torn up, blacked out, mis-matched and everything by himself, so he can find someone to kill, to get revenge, and remember that revenge for all of 5 minutes and then repeat the cycle. Without someone to work towards, he has nothing else to live for in his mind, so he is making something for him to do with his time basically.

The rest of the questions I'm hazy on though.

Most of america like some of the jackholes that's buying gil on this game, don't know ****. Anything that you have to "think" for, they can't follow. Give them explosions and they understand.

Yep, Nolan directed Batman is at work with the 2 sequels. They will be badass, but the net 2 Spiderman sequels sounds very very good too.

Yes, he's making both Batman sequels. The first one will have the Joker as the main villain. I don't think he's been casted yet, but there's about 3 ppl up for the role that I knew of. Harvey Dent will be on this one, Bruce Wayne's buddy. On the 3rd one, Joker will be put on trial for crimes and such, but Harvey Dent will become TwoFace on this one.

The next two Spiderman movies will be cool. Spiderman 3 will be Spidey vs. Sandman, but supposedly Spidey will get the Venom suit on this one. There's a guy that he works with, they don't get along too well. He eventually gets the suit at the end of the movie, which leads to Spiderman 4, Spidey vs. Venom. I'm guessing Spidey 5 will be Spidey vs. Hob Goblin, his ex-bestfriend...but I'm just guessing on that one. I'm waiting for the live action Transformers movie to come out. I think it comes out 2007.

Oh, btw, PS3 > Xbox 360 >.>
