73. TiMER (2009)

Time moves in one direction and this movie moves in another! This week Dave and Noah synchronize their Casio wristwatches to TiMER (2009) starring Emma Caulfield, John Patrick Amedori and Michelle Borth. It is the year 3,000ish and every twenty-something has the option of having a TiMER installed in their wrist. A TiMER is like a more portable, more sentient version of the online dating site OK CUPID. This device simply gives a countdown to the day you will meet your one true soul mate. Some people (the super slutty ones) have countdowns that span decades, while some (the super-duper slutty ones) have a countdown that is a matter of hours. Emma Caulfield's TiMER is blank and it will remain blank until her soulmate gets with jiggy with the Joneses and has one installed. In the meantime she dates a grocery cashier who has a timer that will go off in three months, but his free spirit teaches her that true love has no ETA...which strangely enough is ATE backwards. Now I'm hungry. It's tater-tot time! I'd better set the timer on the stove... Dave has a misadventure at Big Top Liquor while Noah wishes he was watching Big Top Pee-wee, the sequel to Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.
