Why???

posted 17 years ago by jimiphish

Why did someone make this movie? Why is most of this (thankfully short) film narrated by an unseen man? I feel this may have been an anti-bomb/anti-war film. I can go along with that, but this is horrible. (Yet addictive, as another person said.) One more thing: Why did I take the time to write about this movie?

"One more thing: Why did I take the time to write about this movie?"

Jimiphish, not yet caught in the whirlwind of progress, takes time to write about the movie. Type first, ask questions later.

A man types. Someone shoots at him.

Bump. The wheels of progress. Keep it in sight. Like boys feeding soda pop to thirsty pigs.

Find the thread, and bump it. Man's inhumanity...to man.

Vacation time. Threads travel east, west, north and south. Why???'s heading due south. Beast posters aren't bothered by anything, not even flying saucers.

Touch a key, things happen. A poster becomes a beast.

babel on 5, respected IMDb user. Now a troll prowling the forums...a prehistoric beast in an internet age. Post...post just to be posting.

Posters from the city, not yet caught up in the whirlwind of cyberspace, feed comments to the thirsty trolls.

Sadly this is Coleman Francis's Citizen Kane.

PS- I deeply apologize to the late Orson Welles for referencing Citizen Kane in regards to this celluloid train wreck. Even in jest.

Sadly this is Coleman Francis's Plan 9 from Outer Space.

Dear Ed Wood,
See previous apology. Just alter the names.

Aunts from Vermont, watch them refuse the sandwiches offered. Old cobblers open cans of cat food, feed them to bats. Way of the world.

Dialogue. All of it. All from unseen characters. Or people facing away from the camera. Progress. A woman's purse.

Bump. Secret postings. Never before seen outside the walls of the Kremlin.

Secret club. Amusing but pointless. Talk like Yucca Flats narrator.

People post on IMDB. Caught in the wheels of progress. Damned to watch this movie endlessly. Addicted to crap.
