avoid this post if you don't remember seeing Powder

Do you remember this movie? I sure as hell shouldn't! But I do, because it has become THE archetypal movie that I see and immediately forget. I don't remember it so much that I can't forget it anymore. It serves as the surrogate wasted hour and a half in place of all the others that I have wasted on movies that I will never remember seeing until I catch a minute of them on TV years from now and think, "Oh yeah, that exists, and I saw it." But Powder is always there. There was literally a good 4 years when I didn't think about that movie at all, and then, BAM! It hit me, and now I can't not remember the movie that had about as much effect on me as a time I probably stubbed my toe on the kitchen counter that I also don't remember. It's like that entire year that I didn't think about hockey. Not once! I existed in a hockey-free universe, and life was fine.

But now it's back, and now I remember it all the time as something that I should have always forgotten. So, just a reminder...
