I think I will watch all Shane Carruth movies I can find.

Your search will not last long. There is one more and it's on Netflix.

Here are some good interviews that he did for Upstream Color:

The director of Looper, Rian Johnson, consulted him about time travel plot continuity. You should still watch it because its a cool movie.

You will be very confused. You might not make it past the first 10 min.

[The Third Man]

On the flip side, at least he has a chance to be entertained by that dull-as-dirt movie if he's drunk.

Ever wonder what it'd be like if the guys from Jackass had talent and balls? Nitro Circus is awesome. Kind of dorky, but the stunts are so cool. It's all that stuff you made your Hot Wheels do when you were 7.

If nothing else, watch the bad ass orgy that is the first 5 minutes on Netflix.

That was helpful. I could never figure...

out the fight between Aaron 2 & 3 because I thought there were only 2 Aarons. I assumed the Aaron who stole the passport and left was the same as the one who makes the phone call and we see at the end of the movie - Passport ~ foreign country. Putting a 3rd Aaron in there who disappears and then have the 2nd Aaron disappear and reappear makes for some confusion. Either the blogger is misinterpreting the fight scene, or Shane should have rewritten it to make a little more sense. But maybe the confusion is part of the plot.

Regardless, the plot is so thick that the other subtexts are left completely unexplored. The AARON/ABRAM duality, the idea of righting wrongs, the impending doom that can only be averted if we don't know what it is, the universe that we live in that is predestined by someone else - all of these are incredibly deep philosophical and theological ideas...and we're left trying to figure out how you can fold up a time machine instead.

By the way - Time Crimes is a similar and more fun little movie. I recommend highly. (And for that one, all you need to know is Red + White = Pink)

Tucker & Dale vs. Evil is awesome

I just started it thanks to this recommendation.
