I finally watched Memento. It was cool; I can see why so many people praise it, but I found myself a little underwhelmed. Most likely because of all the hype raising my expectations to unreasonable levels, and the movie naturally not being able to attain those levels.
I'd been putting off watching it for various reasons. Partly because I just wasn't in the mood for that kind of story; partly because the idea of not having any short term memory, while intellectually intriguing, I find emotionally discomforting.
