Time Travel + Porn = Nacho Vigalondo

Timecrimes might be the second best film involving time travel to come out of Sundance (top honors go to Primer, and Timecrimes writer/director Nacho Vigalondo is a fan of it). In a recent interview, Vigalondo being a comic book nerd (he's pictured here with a copy of fave book The Ultimates), and why porn and time travel are the best combination ever.

Vigalondo says:

You can be sure my next one hundred movies won't have time travel in it. Well, actually you never can tell. I'm thinking now porn and time travel would be an incredible combination: People fucking themselves!

He's also intrigued by the idea of a time machine being invented, and when it gets switched on hordes of future travelers pour out of it, fleeing from their own horrible reality. So, maybe he's already talked himself out of another time travel movie. In fact, be on the lookout for a movie where future versions of actors flee their horrible future, and come back in time to have sex with themselves over and over again. It's like Shortbus meets Millennium.

Timecrimes will be released later this year, unless time travel actually gets invented, in which case you will have already seen it.

"top honors go to Primer"

Really?

I mean, yeah, conceptually it's very interesting. But as a movie, I found it kind of slow-moving and once over the hump, kind of ... um... boring.

Has anybody actually SEEN this yet?
I was fired up until I saw the trailer. Then, not so much.
At all.

I'd rent it.

Wasn't there something about a guy having sex with himself in The Man Who Folded Himself? I looked for that at Powell's the other day but they didn't have it.

Also, I thought Primer was decent, but what amazed me was that it only cost $7000 to make.

Anyone know of any good blogs that focus on time travel?

Anybody read The Man Who Folded Himself? The story involves the protagonist meeting up with a bunch of alternate-timeline/alternate-reality versions of himself, often repeatedly having sex with himself.

Also good is All You Zombies where, through time travel, the protagonist manages to become all of his own relatives. It's an odd thought exercise.

Whoa, for a minute I thought we were talking about a new episode of Torchwood.

I really enjoyed Nacho Vigalondo's academy award nominated short film 7:35 in the Morning. It's got a nicely twisted sense of humor.

@acceptablerisk: Excellent read and one of many of RAH's 'best' (short stories at least).
