What The Hell Did I Just Watch?


I'm not fully sure what the absolute *beep* just happened... but I feel like somebody slipped something into my drink. The weird part, I still think I liked this movie. Did take any of you a while, before you were fully able to process this film? 'Cause I feel like it might take me a day or two.

Yeah, when I got it on DVD I had to watch it twice in a row! It's just a bucket load of convoluted pop culture references from the 90's/00's, you know? There isn't one thing this guy didn't steal from another film...that being said, I loved this film! It was really weird!

I feel the same way every time I watch it. It makes no sense but gets better every time.

Saw it on Netflix, skipped through to 30 minutes in...Had to go back and then every 5 seconds something changed.
I kept saying, "What the hell am I watching!?" I didn't expect to be thinking about it as much as I did after the credits began. I think I slowly pieced and made sense of everything.

Yes. Exactly.

After the first act I was wondering is this just a horrible film, then it just gets better as you are able to put all the random parts together into one epic awesome mess...I end up enjoying more than I thought I would.
