I'm not asking you to change my opinion - I'm asking you why someone who "didn't get it" should bother beating their head against it until they do. I understood Primer just fine - I found it tedious, trivial and wall-to-wall exposition. Yet people love it. It looks remarkably like a $7,000 film. It's acted like a $7,000 film. It has the production value of a $7,000 film. And yeah. It's sloppy. Yet there's this drive around Primer fans to explain it. To expound upon it. To dissect it, remix it, represent it and retcon it in order to proseletyse for it. And that is what I don't get. You liked it. I didn't. I'm not sure where the drive to make me like it comes from.
