Perverse and tangential...

I can see the director introducing this film with something like... "Welcome, to Masturbation Theatre." Clarence Williams III was the only character half-conscious, so I found him to be giving his best William Shatner treatment to the script. Good grief, this was nothing but an artsy-fartsy weekend project that slipped out from the Hollywood crackage. The New Orleans backdrop doesn't add enough meat to dem righteous crazy bones. Throw this film back in the pot and let it simmer for another twenty odd years and see if the conscious collective can glue the imagery together so this director can receive his belated Oscar. One thumb down, and one weenie way down!

this movie sucked balls... just face it- spent all kinds of time with sub-plots, while never resolving any of the main ones. what the f*ch was up with that webcam that 'visualizes' your brain? just plain stupid; it might have made since if it were in the future; something similair to 'strange days.' it doesn't make any sense- incomprehensible garbage.

Worse piece of garbage I have ever seen - I just turned it on and saw the so-called Mardi gras scene. I only watched about 5 minutes of this movie and can say this crap deserved a -1000 rating, too bad the lowest here is 1.

Did the director really expect people to believe the mardi gras scene could be accomplished by hiring 15 people???? Just for his stupidity, he deserves a low rating.

Yea I always fall asleep with the Tv on and then I wake up to this *beep* I thought bcuz i didnt see the beginning was the reason for me not understanding it, but after reading these comments im glad i didnt see it. I came on here after i got out of bed to see if i was the only one who was like WTF?? I guess not.. Oh and @badjuju 00; I dont think that was a mardi gras scene, that was a second line, it always goes on in N.O. esp. after someone dies its a way to celebrate their life...
