Time mistake

A short film that documents the hazards of time travel.

Thumbs down. Way down.

Terrible acting on the part of both unknowns.

Repetitive and uninspired improvisation.

No sense of rhythm or timing.

Mistakes like "Oh my God my grandfather... Oh my God my Great Grandfather."

Annoying overall, but worth the price of admission.

Stupid!

Casimir clearly hasn't read enough science fiction...

"Warren" only needs to go back again, only a minute BEFORE his first trip, and move his great-grandfather a few feet away. Anyway, his g-g might already have sired his grandparent.

(And, BTW, the only way to be sure you wipe yourself out? Kill your great-GRANDMOTHER! Typical male-chavinist way of looking at things!)

Actually

if you go back and kill one of your ancestors then you would have never existed to go back and kill one of your ancestors. This is assuming time is linear and not branching. Time paradoxes are a bitch.

Link to Profile?

I would really, really like it if the entiries that point to YouTube had a link to the creators profile (make it open in another windows, that keeps them on your site too).
