Dont read below if you've yet to see Time Crimes spoilers ahead.

[spoiler]Dead Alive it shows you in the film how it works. There is a diagram of a time line that doubles back on itself. This film takes the idea that there is a single time line that cannot be changed (not mutiple timelines that are altered when you go back and change something ie Back to the Future). If everything is already mapped out (or has already happened) then it is perfectly possible for the start of a set of events to be chronolically after events that occur later in the time line. There are not really 3 hectors there is one hector on a time line that doubles back on himself twice. From a viewers perspective it looks like a loop but from Hectors persepctive there is no loop. After Hector has gone all the way though the switch back time line he will come out the other end and time will continue for him as a straight line (unless he gets in another time machine).[/spoiler]

Thats my take on it anyway hope that helps (alhough I sill find it a little hard to grasp myself )

Just sat down and watched First Blood, for the first time in years, i forgot how badass that film was. It's a shame because although 2+3 are good, they're way too over the top, FB was a small film about a tortured soul who can achieve insane heights of brutality when pushed over the edge, but 2+3 were just an excuse to see how much of a bodycount each film can rack up, don'y get me wrong i still absol-****ing-lutley love the Rambo films but they have never topped the awesome levells of Awesomeness that First Blood did

What did you think of it BS?

I watched Combat Shock a few days ago, it was depressing but totally compelling. The extreme low budget adds to the whole scuzzy feel of the film. I was impressed by the special effects as they were ecellent considering how low budget the rest was (the creepy agent orange deformed baby is a good example). The whole thing is like some kind of waking nightmare and reminded me alot of Eraserhead, Taxi Driver and thematically Rambo. Lloyd Kaufman calls it one of Tromas 'masterpieces' and I'm inclined to agree.

I watched this not long ago too BZ, and pretty much felt the same way. An extremely harrowing yet gripping film IMO.

Cheers for that, BZ, it is all as clear as mud to me now.

I'm going to buy a copy of this soon to give it multiple viewings. I may even watch it in twenty minute segments working backwards like "Memento" to see if it holds up.
