mary and i went to see "memento" last weekend, and damn was it good. the main character - leonard shelby, played by guy pearce - walked in on the rape of his wife and got his head smashed into a mirror. he shot one of the bad guys, and though the police had no evidence of it, he asserted that there was a second assailant involved. he lost all short term memory after the incident. the movie goes in reverse chronological order, covering a segment of his hunt for the second killer. at first we find that he uses an extensive collection of polaroids, notes, and tattoos to keep accurate track of information. later, we learn that he sometimes lies in the notes he relies on and that he might have already killed the second man, not to mention a lot of other innocent guys. he just doesn't remember. if you saw the movie and were confused, i recommend visiting their site. as good as the movie was, it gets better: you get to see pearce's ass. while pearce's character waited in a hotel room bathroom for a guy he planned to attack as a favor to his manipulative ho friend, he forgot what he was waiting for, and began to take a shower. he's very hot. the shower was a good thing in itself, but it got better. the man came back to his hotel room to find shelby in the shower, and a fight ensued. he fought naked! no sooner did i mumble "show us his ass!" that they did, and that ass was definitely worth my $6.75.
