A shoe-in for the 'Most Self-Indulgenent Ego Award' of 2007?
I have TRIED to watch this short over and over on my laptop...
* Late at night in my bedroom, with all the lights off
* In the morning in the kitchen, with a hangover bigger than Texas
* After making love to a beautiful woman and asking her to watch it with me
* With my mother
* After watching Darjeeling Limited.
...and other times as well.
After all of these viewings, and to be honest, I have to say that it is one of the most self-indulgent wastes of film to come out of the Hills since "Billy Jack Goes To Washington."
It had a worse ending than the slow-motion finale of "Zabriskie Point," duller than the entire viewing of the "experimental" film "Sunrise" by Murnau, and... well, I just have to say it's just pretty awful.
It's a slow, meaningless, devoid-of-substance, injection into the madulla oblongatta with novacaine kind of numbness.
I wanted to see the "hidden meanings," the "subtlety," or ANYTHING, but... ah, forget it.
I was left languid and wanting.
Ugh.
And please, watch it again.
You'll see the waste eventually for yourself.
