For most of us, the experience of waking up in a strange motel room, alone and disoriented, means that you were the victim of Chinese Organ Thieves.  Inconvenient, sure, but kidneys are replaceable.*  And how often does it really happen?** For Leonard Shelby, however,  this scenario was just another part of his daily routine.

You see, Leonard suffers from a rare form of amnesia, usually only found in protagonists in works of fiction.  Unable to form any new memories, Leonard stumbles around Southern California, vowing after every meal that he will never eat a McDonald's Filet-O-Fish again.  To be fair, he does have a slightly more pressing agenda than eating pre-formed patties of vague seafood: the attack that rendered him an amnesiac also resulted in the death of his wife.  Through an intricate system of tattoos and notes to himself, he hopes to one day track down the killer and after making him beg for mercy, ask them who they are, why he has this gun and if they know directions to the nearest McDonalds.

Also, at one point in time during the movie, a peripheral character muses that Leonard's condition must be like living your life backwards.  Despite this being a barely coherent thought muttered by a bearded motel attendant, it's evidently license enough to tell you the entire story in reverse, making this Mike, Kevin and Bill's first ever xarTffiR!

*Just talk to the delivery guy from the Chinese food place down the street
**Every time you order from that Chinese food place

Did Mike say what I think he said at the end of that clip??   

I think we're in for a bumpy ride!

Can't wait...

Huh, didn't think this one came out until next Tuesday (you guys are quick!)

So very torn on this one. On the one hand, it looks great (loved the 1-900 bit there ), bit on the other hand when I start to watch this movie, it's one of those movie where I want everyone to shut up so I can watch it (I think I read someone else here had that problem with the Raiders of the Lost Ark Riff). I'll probably get it, I just need to watch the movie a couple times first, get my fill of it.

Probably your best bet.  After a couple viewings you should have it down.  The biggest flaw of this movie is that once you've seen it once the effect it had on you will never be quite the same too, so by the time you've seen it twice you might be ready for the riff.

That was probably Greg(scrooge)McDuck.

[MrTorso]

oh yeah! That sample was great. One of the best samples in a long time. 

[Conor]

The riff that comes right after the last one may be my favorite in the whole movie, but we didn't want to give too much away...

[Axnollouse]

I have been watching the movie every night for the last couple of days to kill it for me . . . . and that sample completely sold me on the trax!  Well done my good sirs!

[ScottotD]

This has to be one of the oddest choices so far, can't imagine what angle they'll take.

[ShadowDog]

This is one of my all time favorite movies so I'm really looking forward to this riff.  (it always strikes me as odd when fans of a movie get butthurt that it's being riffed because this gives us a second great way to watch a great movie)  Can't wait until tomorrow!

I know, it's weird (just can't help it, I guess. But dammit, I'm going to give this one a try!)

I'm usually not keen on paying to hear someone spend 2 hours telling me a movie I like is shite.

I think the guys are pretty good at not blatantly flaming a movie...I mean unless it actually deserves it. IMO some of their best work has been on stuff like the LOTR movies, Raiders of the Lost Arc, and Alien.

I agree, I love the riffs where they get into the spirit but my idea of a film that "deserves" to be shredded is VERY different from what Mike's seems to be.
