In summary, the movie is about a person who experiences déjà vu or deja vi, and consults Wikipedia to learn more about the psychological phenomenon.

Some days ago they were playing a movie the plot of which was mainly centered on the phenomena where it appears to one that they have encountered the same situation, state of events previously in their past life. Then, I just watched it for a few minutes, and consulted Wikipedia for the story line.

I don't remember any details about this movie at the present time, details such as the title of the movie, name of the lead actor. I have been unsuccessfully trying to recall the technical term for that psychological phenomena which Wikipedia mentioned. So, could you please help me with this?

Finally, a situation where it is actually appropriate to say that it's deja vu, all over again!

The minute the term "Deja vi" appeared to my eyes the mind witnessed that it's the very term I was looking for somewhere in the oblivion of my mind. The movie was also titled after it. Thanks a lot.

I thought it was called a closed timelike loop.

Is there an echo in here or am I just imagining I've heard this somewhere before?

So we're doomed to keep repeating this thread until Jackson reposts his original post using correct sentence structure, punctuation marks, and capitalization and until Office Shredder, Gokul, and Pythagorean learn how to spell Déjà vu?

And when everyone finally posts their questions and replies perfectly, we can let this thread die?

Weekends? What kind of artificial time-division does that entail? Do people restrict their abuse of opiates to Wednesday and Thursday?

Usually not. However, brain surgeons, airline pilots, etc. ought to.

In that case, I guess my brain surgery can wait until Friday
