Why didn't he just keep a diary?
>>
>>71138638
He could lose it or someone could write the wrong thing to fuck with him
>>
>>71138653
like they did...
>>
>We all need memes to remind ourselves who we are.
What did he mean by this?
>>
>>71138653
He could end each entry with his signature.
>>
>>71138653
>He could lose it

At least he tried. Better than nothing.
>>
>>71138708

Somebody could tipex his signature
>>
It's been a while since I've seen the movie, but isn't that basically what he did? But in much shorter form with visual aids because of the severity of his condition?
>>
>>71138766
yes
>>
>>71138766
Yes.
A traditional diary you write at the end of the day wouldn't work exactly because of that.
>>
He did it was the police records of John G's license plate number
>>
>>71138766
I'm watching it right now. He just has some shitty ass tattos, a few pics with footnotes on them, and sometimes some scraps of paper. No reason why he could carry a notebook with him at all times and right down everything he did every few hours.
>>
>>71138638

A diary would keep growing and growing. He'd never be able to read all of it before forgetting again.
>>
>>71138638
Why didn't he have a youtube channel?
>>
>>71138826
>tattoo saying 'just read the fucking diary'
>>
>>71138861
This
>>
>>71138884
How would he write the diary?
>>
>>71138638

Because by the time he finished reading the 20th entry he'd just forget and be stuck in an endless loop.
>>
why didn't he just write it down on the notes app?
>>
>>71138851
Permanent notes on his body, which he would deem super important and fast-developing pictures with notes written on them work pretty much the exact same as a diary, except that there's a much smaller chance of him forgetting what he was writing about in the middle of him trying to record whatever he did for the past couple of hours.
>>
Why didn't he go to hospital?
>>
>>71138851
They literally fucked with his head by alterating his perception. If he had a notebook they could just take it from him and that was it, he was done.
>>
>>71138898
With a pen?
>>
>>71138851
>>71138954
>>71138638


What this guy said, if he wrote anything down and he lost it, he'd be fucked. Thats why he did the tattoos cus they were permanent and couldnt be altered by other people.
>>
>>71139000
Then do videos and host them on youtube.
>>
>>71138638
Why didn't he just update his journal
>>
>>71138968

He cant remember how to use a pen, it says at the start.
>>
>>71139450

They dont do the doctor scene in the theatrical cut m8, not sure if it counts if its a deleted scene.
>>
>>71139057
are you talking about planetscape torment? how smart of you my friends, cheers
>>
Remake will feature him posting in facebook every 10 minutes
>>
>>71139614
It's pretty hysterical how much easier his situation would be with technology only a few years after it came out.

Guy could make videos, or stream everything, record it all right away.
>>
He was lactose intolerant
>>
>>71139711

Glad im not the only one who noticed that
>>
>>71138638

You're all forgetting the END of the movie, or the beginning... whatever. When he was told TO HIS FACE that he found&killed John G years ago, but it wouldn't stick.

So his shithead "friend" Teddy that had helped him find John G, decided to use him as his personal hitman. Teddy set him up to follow this stupid hotel-room cycle until he needed him to kill someone.

What we see in the movie is a "day in the life of" this guy with no memory running down a rabbit hole that was setup for him to find and kill some random idiot drug dealer so teddy could rob him.

Carry Ann Moss figures out how to do this too after only a day with him.
>>
>>71139709

Oh come on there was VHS recording in 2000 that was affordable.
>>
>>71139901
This guy gets it.
>>
>>71138638
Pierce here would do a perfect Constantine
