I'm waiting on my IOU to arrive

Rating: 1/10 (4 December 2007)

...because lynch owes me 2.5 hours of thrill seeking fun to help me get over what horrific waste of time this movie was. my brother gave up caring what was going on after 5 minutes. i had a real bad feeling halfway through that nothing would be solved by the end, and i should have acted on it. let me try to describe what watching this movie is like: you come into class one day to learn the alphabet. the teacher (lynch) writes up on the board klmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghij as slowly as is humanly possible, naming them as he goes along. only as he does this you realize that even though some of these letters look different he's calling a few by the same name. there are hints that it will all make sense very soon, a 'soon' that never comes. leaving class that day you talk to some of your friends who watched this lesson too to see what the hell is going on. they start in about all these letters being symbolic and yada yada. the next day you are forced to file a report with the local police that you've been raped after class by the teacher, because the feeling you're left with cannot be described as anything else.
learn from my mistake, don't be a statistic
