What a terrible, terrible, pretentious mess.
I remember being at the Chicago Underground film festival where a bloated, 5 oclock shadow, greasy hair, thick black glasses, big shnoz nosed know it all filmmaker wannabe was strutting around with a shirt that said "I "heart" Broken". I was like, what the hell is that? From the preview I was optimistic, and after seeing chumscrubbers (which was cool) I thought I'd give this movie a chance. I'm not in any way artsy-phobic. WHAT A MESS!!! This was the most pretentious movie about nothing. Literally, this was like about nothing. No conflict, maybe some, but not more then the struggle for me to get up out of bed and go to the bathroom in the morning. The pace was slow, and I HATE, HATE quirky movies (you know the type, self concious thinking they're inventively funny but really are nowhere near that.)
With every bloated pretentious film comes a bloated pretentious director. And it's clearly obvious when there are three shorts on the director himself on this DVD.
This director (name not even worth mentioning because he will disappear soon) can join other pretentious directors like Brian Singer, Steven Sodenberg, and Gore Verbinski. Fall into the ocean already Hollywood. FALL NOW!!!
And if that idiot director is reading this....here's some words of advice.
There are those that slave away at specifics and stear away from whats been done to make original work, and there are people like you. Make a quick story and disguise the film from showing how crappy it is with quirky situations. This book this was based on must really really suck.
