Justin is the maker of the Toynbee Tiles. Anyone that knew him, knew he did it.

I watched Resurrect Dead based on your recommendation, Sister Wolf, and I really loved it. As you said, there was something really poignant and a bit melancholy about the whole story. And Justin Duerr is a really interesting subject himself (and kinda cute in a nerdy crust punk way). Thank you for recommending it, watching it made my weekend. Stuff like this makes the world a little more exciting and wondrous.

Too cool.

I’m not sure Resurrect Dead : The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles is a totally accurate depiction of the whole phenomenon. I don’t trust artists! 🙂 But who am I to say? I’m bugged by the symmetry of the characters, and Railroad Joe’s routes being on top where all the tiles were found (or close by) among other things. Like Justin’s supposedly close interaction with Sevy twice, once when he found the brand new fresh tiles, and also the supposed (more like assumed) running into him on the trolley or bus or whatever towards the end. I run into strange people everyday… they look at me,I look back at them, they look away so I do too after a while, then they or I may then look back to see if they are looking again. Boys and girls do this all the time to each other, “normal” people and trippers alike.

Purely guessing, not that I believe this, but let’s say for example “Sevy” was really Justin’s dad… and Justin is trying to keep this “Toynbee Idea, Movie 2001, etc” idea going. This might explain the birdman thing. Like I said this is an example… I’m not saying this is true… But I don’t trust anything with entertainment value and imagery, coming from an artist! ie. HOLLYWOOD. 🙂

Plus I could have made this movie/doc 45 min long. Not the average Hollywood 1:15:00-1:52:00 (seems like its always 52)

I just don’t trust things weren’t added in via artist licensing. Just my feeling. Not that it matters or changes Justin’s truth

primer was confusing… hard to follow the paradoxes

Yes, it is that documentary, Sister. I’ll admit I did have a slight incline you might feel that way. I wasn’t very sure how to feel about it. The subject matter and voyeurism left me a bit numb. I had absolutely no idea this was a common problem. Truly heartbreaking.

YES, “Primer” is the one, thank you! More people should see it, right?

… my message above should read time travel, in the 2nd sentence, not timer travel. 😉
