Back to the movie Closer.

All I meant about the entropy thing is that  you only need the tiniest sliver of a moment to tell which way a nature video is running, because we  orient ourselves by measuring the chaos.  If it increases, things are moving forward.  Just once nano-second is all we need to make a call that is sometimes impossible to see while things are frozen.  (I was in this post fixing a typo on behest of my fan club  and I thought I might mention that Hawking goes so far as to say that time itself is just an arrow pointing the way to chaos. And since brain function obeys the laws of thermodynamics, once the universe stops expanding, we'll start rememebering the future, but have no idea of what happened in the past.)

Anyhow, I liked the movie. If it hadn't been decribed to me at least three different times  as "people doing terrible things to each other", I would have seen it sooner.    It didn't sting so much since they only showed the bad parts. It's sorta clinical it that respect. If I had more time I would try to explain it in terms of that infomercial ratchet set that grabs the sides of the bolts instead of the corners.
