Particularly in movies like Inception, Interstellar, Memento, and his 1998 debut feature Following, Nolan likes to mess with the ways we're conditioned to think about time, particularly at the movies, where we expect a relatively straightforward progression of time that mirrors real life: Start at the beginning, proceed in an orderly fashion, and end at the end.

Not just because of randoms who liked silly stuff like the above, but because it's a clever way to share some of the items that are otherwise best experienced in person, like this inverting memento mori or a rearrangeable "myriorama": As Koszary puts it in a post summarizing his experience: Museums should spread knowledge and understanding online.

Littlefinger doesn't even bother accounting for how he came into possession of it, why he thinks this is a fun memento for Bran (I was nearly killed by a kidney stone, but I didn't put in on the mantle after), or why he suddenly starts quoting Blade Runner from memory ("I imagine you've seen things most people wouldn't believe").

Back in the early 2000s, I discovered a guilty pleasure that kept me busy throughout my mid-20s: nerding out on DVD extras, whether that meant listening to Hunter S. Thompson's strange howling sounds on the commentary for "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" — a more psychedelic experience than the movie itself — or watching a bonus cut of "Memento" that put its time-distorted sequences in chronological order.

Although Memento Noº1 wasn't a hit with some critics, it did represent something much bigger, especially in the wake of a highly-politicized Fashion Month: Leon and Lim's tribute to Takada's immigrant origin was a subtle, sincere way to address a topic weighing heavily on many individuals in both the United States (with Trump's immigration order), and in France (where uncertainty of who will win its upcoming election very much exists).

His track record shows that a director with a distinctive style who's given leeway by the studio to deviate from the norm can make a crowd-pleaser that brings in the big bucks at the box office and also lands critical accolades — whether it's by reimagining comic book movies as political commentary (in the Dark Knight trilogy), sci-fi as quasi-post-apocalyptic family drama (Interstellar), or detective noir as psychological drama (Insomnia, Memento).

Museum favorites like its mascot, George Stubbs's "Zebra" (9.63), get places of prominence in their gilded frames, while there are unexpected standouts from paintings that sometimes veer into imperial pomp, such as William Dobson's "Portrait of a Family, Probably that of Richard Streatfeild" (1645), showing a mother pointing at a child who was deceased, her red clothes standing out from the family's black, while skulls haunt the background as a memento mori.

The murder of Gianni Versace outside his palatial Miami Beach home on July 15, 1997, had so many elements of a made-for-TV scandal — fashion, celebrity and psychopathy, all against the backdrop of a 1930 Mediterranean Revival villa where a room can now be had for $1,000 a night — that recounting it could easily devolve into a grotesque act itself, with the audience in the position of the memento-hoarding tourist.

Memento In 2010, a church hymnal that once belonged to Harriet Tubman — the American abolitionist hero who, after escaping slavery in 1849, devoted her new freedom to leading hundreds more of her fellow enslaved out of captivity, first as a conductor on the underground railroad and then later as a Union spy — was donated to the National Museum of African American History and Culture by the collector and historian Charles L.

History's Project Blue Book stood out because it's not just something that you walk through (though the initial "scanning" process and subsequent viewing room, where real accounts were projected on the walls and accompanied by sound recordings and effects, had a very Disneyland Haunted Mansion vibe): you inject yourself into the story by recounting an experience you really had, or make one up, which is then turned into a neat memento that you can take home after the convention.
