In some cases, sure, and there are things the film leaves out about the school's response. But the 7th-grade teacher who intimates that King was headed to hell makes her point quite clearly.

I think both kids come off as reasonably sympathetic (one more than the other, obviously). Most of the adults, however, seem like they might have answered a casting call for The Worst People in the World.

No, actually the Clarks are misprints. His name actually was Larry King, and there's a clip in movie where the other Larry King addresses the subject. Being fixed.

There are a couple neat Alexander anecdotes in the film, including a second-hand one from Zak Starkey about how his dad never played much music around the house but made an exception for Arthur Alexander.

Well, I'm certainly going to tell the recording engineers I know about it.

Muscle Shoals. I didn't choose the pic, but by writing about three documentaries, I probably didn't leave a whole lot of great art options.

More because it's a 100-minute documentary starring a mixing board.

I think secretly becoming a prostitute when you're married with children would be self-destructive no matter who you're having sex with.

Pretty much everything Scott said. Our colleague Jim Ridley also described it as a slasher movie "with the ominous cutlery replaced by cans of lager."

Sad eyes fail. Sigh.

Also, dear Jesus that second-to-last crash.

I actually did see the entire movie; I was coyly-slash-obscurely referencing the fact that the images I saw were mono rather than stereo.

I assure you that is not an accurate description.

Unfortunately unless they schedule another screening or someone slips me a copy, there's no way left for me to see it. I'm making sad eyes at the publicists.

At least you know who to talk to about that.

Carruth could have gotten plenty of distributor attention if he'd wanted it. Instead, he came into Sundance with a self-release plan and an opening date in place, and with everyone knowing the movie was not for sale. He's doing exactly what he wants, whatever anyone else thinks of the plan.

I'm not an unalloyed Primer fan by any means. I watched it again recently for the first time since initial release, and enjoyed it much more once I decided to stop trying to figure out the plot. The character stuff about the creeping amorality of techies in garages is great; sussing out the time-travel stuff seems…

A lot of people dislike it, and Carruth has no distributor to mount a campaign, so outside of critics' awards, pretty much zero chance.

You're not even going to check a dictionary before the attempted call-out? See (1): http://www.merriam-webster…. . Consider yourself un-ingratiated.

In all seriousness, how do you expect anyone to write about it without "giving away" the basic premise? Apart from issuing a string of disconnect adjectives, I can think of no possible way. And that being the case, if you don't want to know anything, at all, about the movie, why read something about it? It's not as if…
