Luckily I was well by Saturday night, when I got to eat at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mataamfez-denver.com\/\">Mataam Fez<\/a> for my boss&#8217;s birthday. Moroccan food is pretty fun to eat. Unfortunately, Ben got sick that night so he couldn&#8217;t join me. To make up for it, tonight we are going on a date to Ethiopian food. He&#8217;s tried it before and loves it. It&#8217;ll be my first time.<\/p>\n<p>I saw <a href=\"http:\/\/primermovie.com\/\">Primer<\/a> at the Starz center last night. This movie is by far the smartest, most innovative, and dizzying movie I have seen this year. It has a very small distribution, so <em>please<\/em> look for it coming your way and be sure to see it.<br \/>\n<br \/>I don&#8217;t want to give away too much, because a lot of the movie&#8217;s joy is trying to figure out what&#8217;s going on. It&#8217;s one of the few movies which expects the audience to actively listen to keep up with what&#8217;s happening. But if you want to know more details, read Roger Ebert&#8217;s review <a href=\"http:\/\/rogerebert.suntimes.com\/apps\/pbcs.dll\/article?AID=\/20041028\/REVIEWS\/40920013\/1023\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What also impressed me immensly is the story of the film. Shane Carruth is an engineer-turned-movie maker. He wrote, directed, starred in, and edited the entire film. The whole thing was made for $7,000 and shot in a five weeks. Anyone who has attempted to make a movie will be utterly impressed with these numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Go see Primer.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh man, I was so sick last week.
