I finished watching "Memento" last night. I'm still kind of confused.

Was he crazy? Was the cop lying? What the hell was up with Natalie? What did Jimmy have to do with anything?

Was Jorja dead, or wasn't she? Was she diabetic, or wasn't she?

Was the whole Sammy Jenkis thing a metaphor memory for what happened between Lenny and Jorja? Did he give her one too many insulin shots?

The upshot of all this is, I'm going to be in a weird, wacked out mood until I see something else. I really want to see "Forever Fabulous." It's another Jorja movie, but this one is like "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" with women AND drag queens. Sounds like much fun.

Other than that... I don't know. This is a random morning, and there's not much going on. Probably going to go to the mall with Oliver in a little while, and Quinn just walked in. He'll probably chew on me a little bit.

Well I wasn't confused before, but I am now. :P I think that the cop knew about Sammy Jenkins, and tried to twist it to his advantage. Jimmy was Carrie Ann (Carrie Anne? Carrie-Ann? Kherie-Ahnne-silentq? Whatever.) Moss's boyfriend? I think the cop was setting him up to be killed, and after Guy Pierce found out that he was getting played, he set Teddy up too (I don't remember if he kills Jimmy or not. It's been a loooooong while).

Eh. I admit it, I just watched it for Jorja and didn't particuarly care about the rest of the wackos in the plot. Meep! *hearts Jorja*

Hehehe. I saw it before I started watching CSI, so I didn't even realize it was Jorja until I was browsing the IMDB pages one day. But yes, I agree: ♥ Jorja

You want me to explain Memento? I've seen it enough times to do it properly... so here goes! ^_^

Jimmy, the second guy that Leonard killed (you never see the first guy, the one Teddy tells him about when he's telling the truth, just before he dies), was Natalie's (Carrie-Anne) boyfriend.

Jorja (whose character's name is Catherine, btw) did die, but not after the attack, which really happened. The memory of Sammy is a metaphor memory for what happened, Leonard killed his wife himself with the one too many insulin shots. She was diabetic.

Teddy (the cop) was lying to get Leonard to get rid of the drug dealer, but he wasn't lying when he explained to Leonard what happened and showed him the picture of him being happy after killing 'John G.'.

Natalie was lying her ass off after she realised that Leonard might have been the one who killed her boyfriend. She hid all her pens, goaded L into hitting her and then left the house until he'd forgotten (being unable to write it down) what had happened.

And no, Leonard wasn't crazy, exactly. It's called anterograde amnesia. If you get hold of the DVD of Memento, there's a special feature called The Beginning of the End which lets you watch the film with the events in the order they actually happened.

I hope I helped you! ^_^
