the story fried my brain a bit.
it gets a bit confusing, but it's great when u put the puzzle together.
best of all, it's not like the Matrix where Tom cruise kicks everyone's a$$ like he's superman.

the whole idea of pre-crime is kewl :cool:
though there are some unclear things in the movie

u must be some sorta movie representitve or sth like that...;)
Because of what i said to Martin?????

Anyway Martin I think the thing about Memento is that there aer no definite answers to the questions everyone ask about it. But I'll give you my opinion:

Was there a Sammy or did he make him up?

Some would say that he is in fact sammy himself and he killed his wife with too much insulin

How did his wife die?

The 2 guys beat her up or shot her. Remember when Lenny had flash backs, his wife was in the transparent body bag thing

How did he get the memory disorder?

When Lenny ran into the bathroom while his wife was in the bag, he shot one guy dead, and another guy came from behind and smashed lenny-head first into the mirror hence the memory disorder

Who was Teddy?

Teddy's mission in the film was to take advantage of lenny's problem. At the real start he sets up lenny to kill the wrong guy so he can steal the money from the boot of the drug dealer's car. That's teddy's fixation throughout the film. Everyone thinks that lenny found his wife's killer in Teddy. This is not true Lenny makes the story up for himself, he manipulates his own illness.
the license plate thing didn't mean squat.

I hope that helped and anyone who disagrees with my theories please show me yours, esp Paul


Btw Marty I took your recomendation of Seinfeld and now i'm watching it everyday- Kramer kills me, remember the one where he had all the loose change and he fell over in the street and it went everywhere, then at the end he hit Gak with the money bag full of change (Jerry owed GAk $200 or $300 for the fake cuban cigars) killer mate:D

Yeah he screwed up his own situation, so that he would think Teddy was the killer, but there are too many loose strings once you find that out. And you would think it takes more than banging your head in a mirror to get that kind of disorder, that never quite convinced me.

And about the wife, if he is not Sammy himself and the two guys killed her, why? No reason given that I can see.

Teddy set him up to kill the dealer? Wasn't that Natalie who did that? Why did that guy who allegedly beat her up come after Lenny with a gun?


Glad to help you out with Seinfeld. I've seen it all so many times I don't watch it anymore but it's gold, Jerry, gold! ;)

Just say sammy was real, then


No, Natalie set him up to kill the drug dealers mate. The came with the gun because he recognised the car and lenny was also wearing the dealers clothes. just think your mate dies but you see his car being driven around

just wandaring, did you recognise the seinfeld episode?

Well whatever, it's open to interpretation no matter what you assume :D


Sure did, I think I'd recognize most of them by now, seen all 180, more than once most too :) Though that one with the calzones is one of the more memorable pieces.

    Hey Greg, you remember that Friends episode (been watching some of those lately) when Chandler doesn't want to see Janice again so he tells her he's being sent to Yemen? And then he gives her his address so she can write him..

    Yeah that was a hall of famer.. ;)

    What a horrible sport that is too..

    I also like the one where they are betting on who knows more about whom, Chandler/Joey vs Monica/Rachel. And Ross makes up the game, love that one! :D
