I was wondering how a story could be written in reverse chronological order and not confuse the audience. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated(original ideas would be extra appreciated).

get Memento out and watch it. its just like he said, but you need to see it to believe how strange it is. i'm not even sure i liked it but... its so weird it has to be seen.

I went to Best Buy to look for Momento. It was $20, but I didnt buy it. Actually, Ive watched the beginning of the movie, but it was a pirated copy so about 10 minutes into the film the sound lost its synchronization with the video and become impossible to watch. I really want to watch it.

Did you check out Blockbuster? I don't know about down there, but the ones we have here in Monticello have a 7 movies for $7 for 7 days deal. It's pretty awesome.
Theres a band, Yellowcard, (I think thats there name, who did a momento-style film clip and it worked really well. It would be easy, just film it forward and then reverse it during editing.
Yay go blockbuster, thats where I work!

im tired of the whole "altered" story lines and films that depend on being out of chronological order to entertain, just as an easy way out of a ****ty and pointless story (not that they have to have a point, but still, it turns into a gimmick real fast). And isn't that one yellowcard video the one that just rips off "Groundhog Day"?
