And if you want to damage your brain even more like I did watching TRIANGLE the first time, watch COHERENCE right afterward. Equal levels of time loop crazy. #SpaceApeCinema

I forgot to mention I snapped up Umbrella's blu-ray for TRIANGLE as soon as it was announced. Never has a looping blu-ray menu felt so natural and appropriate. It can just keep going and going. #SpaceApeCinema

Blu-ray screen menu for TRIANGLE. Star Melissa George hides behind a corridor, looking exhausted and frightened as a past version of herself and her friends by, an experience she's already had from the other side.

My posts decided to stop showing up on the hashtag feed before the movie was over. That's a new one. #SpaceApeCinema

Thank you for joining us for #SpaceApeCinema tonight. You have a week to recover... I think. It depends on how you use it. We hope you get it right.

Next Saturday, we're coming down from this trip with something spooky, simple and Made-For-TV. Join us for David Janssen in MOON OF THE WOLF.

What do you think the fare must be for this ride by now? #SpaceApeCinema

Someone said the seagull was going to mean something. It was a hit on the nose flying through the opening like the owner of the feather from FORREST GUMP. #SpaceApeCinema

Finding, perhaps, a way to take it back, but realizing that the universe is never that forgiving. #SpaceApeCinema

Past regrets, breakdowns, loss of patience, betraying the things that mean the most to you in your life. Betraying yourself and losing control. Reliving all of that over and over and over and over and over again. Wishing you could take it all back. #SpaceApeCinema

Sure. Those cycles always break fairly easily. #SpaceApeCinema

Sure, it took maybe 57 tries or so before she thought maybe some personal accountability might help, but better late than never when you got nothing but time. #SpaceApeCinema

It's on the tip of my tongue, but my memory has been making some very slow climbs lately. 😉 #SpaceApeCinema

If you ever wanted a perfect theme night double feature with THE PRESTIGE, I think you found one. #SpaceApeCinema

What's more, the more she gets it wrong, the more she has to deal with her mistakes piling one on top of another... and another... and another... potentially into infinity. Like her own life. One of those metaphors I didn't really think about until my third viewing. #SpaceApeCinema

TRIANGLE seems on its surface a story where time is keeping a mom's child hostage until she gets it right, and apparently she's already gotten it wrong. A lot. #SpaceApeCinema

TRIANGLE is basically the Scooby-Doo chase scene but every time someone runs out of a door, they're from a different timeline. #SpaceApeCinema

She said earlier that her only world is waiting back at home for her. Her son. A mom is likely to do anything to get back to her child. Even in a time loop. But there's more to it than that, too. #SpaceApeCinema

Uh oh. We're starting over again. It shouldn't be possible for a movie to have a body count higher than its cast, but... #SpaceApeCinema

Hmm, that didn't sound like Bubba under that mask. It sounded more like... her. #SpaceApeCinema

Well, we've plucked the entire cast off already, so that should reduce the complications in the plot significantly, shouldn't it? #SpaceApeCinema

If you haven't stopped to appreciate this shot with the seemingly infinite liminal hallway... you're likely to come back to it later. #SpaceApeCinema

The tried and true Doctor Who explanation remains the best: wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff. #SpaceApeCinema
