meaining of movie


Now that I have your attention we can discuss the true meaning of this movie.
Up here in Canada we have many many film makers who cant make a living without the assistance of government aid so they get a grant and try to make a film. Sometimes they make a decent film and sometimes they make something that is strange and weird. Ive seen this before so in a nutshell this is one of those films. Don't try to understand it too hard but basically it seems to be a killer from beyond the grave idea but messed up and poor writing too boot. The sad part was from what I could see some of the actors were very very good, just wasting their time on a plot that meandered and was too wacky to make sense. Oh the arts communities and critics love this crap but as a friend of mine in the arts calls it...its artistic masturbation. If it feels good for the artists thats all that matters. So wacth it if your bored on a Sunday morning looking to pass time but otherwise dont try to understand it or figure it out.It was not written to be figured out. Perhaps thats the meaning behind the title...Nobody will figure it out :)

artistic masturbation!!! exactly lol

that is a perfect description.

you made a great post, friend, and you crystalised something that i have been trying to elucidate for many years. i am gonna save your words for future battles against 'esoteric' types on other boards. (lol)

i am quoting your words here, for posterity:
