Marina just gave us a subway map of great films, which reminded me of a recent XKCD comic. XKCD pretty much never fails to amuse me with its geeky humor, but they rarely have a specifically film-related strip. But this one’s a doozy, even including details that only occurred in the Star Wars Special Edition, for example – you’ll definitely want to view it large to see the whole thing. And the inclusion of 12 Angry Men and Primer are the icing on the cake.

- Slacker (like a stairway up)
- Nashville or Short Cuts (lots of intersections)
- The Prestige (abrupt ends to several timelines)
- Memento (??)
- Secret Honor (single flat line)
- zombie movies (lines end then start again later)
Many more…
Kurt, that real Primer timeline is insane. Especially because someone actually created it.
