OK. Your last link could be a movie in itself. I think I would opt for neither and play roe sham bo for the entire hour. Also the f or f question works for a clone but I don't think your allowed to touch the other you when its time travel.

And you can't kill your time traveling self or you die too. If the previous you dies you never get to the current you. If you kill the future you then your dead in real life. Remember when Michael j fox started to fade away bcz his mom wanted his goodies instead of his dad's. You can't mess with the space time continuum like that.

The only option here is to ride it out until all of the other you'd have climbed into time machines leaving only you. And clean up the dead bodies and busted up faces later.

Oh dang I totally forgot that problem. Yeah, you couldn't kill young you at all. That guy really did face a conundrum.
So he had to keep making himself go in.
What if he had stopped himself from going in on first travel? Would that cancel himself out too, meaning he wouldn't be able to actually do that because it ceases his being?

How is this not endless? Could you form a pact (after f+f'ing of course) that the 1st traveler must concede and die? That would leave #2 with the info on not to go in to the machine, #1 dies, leaving only one, #2 becomes the only one and doesn't go through, causing him to be #1.

I hear Buffalo Bills voice when I think about that.

Also does he ever touch himself in the movie?

There was one thing I saw that bugged me. It involved looking around her breasts, but I was able to see that her necklace was removed. #2 never removed it after he laid her their. So that means #1 did? But why?

If he would've stopped himself from the first travel nothing else would have happened, ceased from the jump. Of course this movie throws that out since the only reason he went to the house was bcz of himself. unless he had had some instance that we never see because he got trapped in this loop at some point.

It is not endless, in fact it is the only definitive end. Every previous Hector only exists until he climbs into the machine, and each of them does climb into the machine or they would not exist.

The only time that may have happened was when he stabbed himself.

Did you laugh when he popped up in the window of the silo? I laughed out loud cause he had crazy funny eyes.

I believe the deux in machina is that he must go back to save his wife but then he realizes that everything happens, timelines can't be changed.

Do #2 and #3 ever disappear or are they arrested when they pop out from the observ?
#26
2 and 3 don't get arrested. They get into the machine. 3 is the only one to go back and then not get in the machine again.

Blue Ruin
on Netflix now

Extra: RT gave it 96%/77%
Dark and suspenseful. Well done. Lesser known actors.

Rewatched Timecrimes for people at movie night who hadn't seen it yet. Netflix dropped it but it's on Amazon Prime (but it's dubbed).

watched a couple recently that I enjoyed. Both were foreign films

The Last Days - spanish movie about a disease that prevents people from going into the sunlight. Mostly about 2 guys going through the sewers trying to find their families. IMDB score 6.1

Ragnarok - Combination between Indiana Jones and a monster movie. Interesting idea and good effects. IMDB score 6
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2363213/

Both are on Netflix
