I just watched this, and I've come to realize that Shutter Island is eerily similar to Memento.
shareNo, it isn't.
See this guy needs the boards to learn what he just watched. He needs help from discerning viewers. I guess Nolan's secrets will just be my personal property. Maybe I'll write another book.
THE INTERNET NEVER DIES!
shareIt *is* a bit weird to read zombie boards like this one. Kinda like visiting an old derelict building and trying to remember what each room was designed to do.
Or even better, like browsing through a photo album. That is what these former IMDb boards on moviechat are. People can still leave messages, like I am doing now. But there is a great barrier between scribbling now and the events in the picture. The old users are not moving anymore, they don't receive notifications, the links under their names don't lead anywhere, all dialogues are frozen in a state of understanding, or anger, or fun, or boredom, according to their initial state.
...Is it very weird to be nostalgic about the virtual buildings and alleys and pubs of a text-based electronic universe?...
I spent a great deal of time on the IMDB boards throughout my late 20's/early 30s. They never needed to shut down, they only did it because they were dominated with right-leaning people due to more freedom of speech than places like MySpace/Facebook so it had to be silenced.
2016 was the year the normal world died.
