  1. they saw it in their vision, they were doing what the vision showed them.

  2. well they're not the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse, they were trying to stop it, hence the change in roles.

  3. it's another example for eric NOT to believe them.

  4. it's not pre-recorded, it's just re-airing. Like all cable news channel, they loop breaking news. Like eric said, those stuff happened hours/days before (another example for eric NOT to believe them), but Leonard knew when they would re-air it from his visions. Hence his ability to repeat it.

I agree. However, I feel a new paradigm is in play, and the formula isn’t as standard as implied. Just comparing movies over the decades along with technological advances (accessible computer f/x, low cost high quality video equipment), cyclical cultural evolution, and access (movie theater prices, video rental, pirating, streaming) is chipping away at the stranglehold the financially risk averse have on the commoditization art. Marvel and big tent pole movies are narrowing the options for casual consumers. The original question dared to ask if we are watching movies or really long commercials for toothpaste and hair products?

Dude. All dark comedy comes off as “depressing” for some people. It’s dark. Snatch isn’t at all dark, so stop externalizing your idiotic mistake. Go watch Bullet Train and google genres.

Most dark comedies CANT really show what they’re doing in the trailer. It’s partly a marketing thing, and partly your duty to know what you’re watching
