Oh yay. FINALLY someone else appears who disliked the movie as much as I. Yes, 
I think heavy drugs would have helped. Then I at least could have hallucinated
some semblance of a plot. I had to go out and ingest multiple beers after the
movie in order to wash its terrible memory away. Yuck ick boring stupid blah.

This is one of those movies destined to be a cult classic. Kinda reminds me of
the children's story, "The Emporor's New Clothes." In that story, the Emporer
walks down the street clad only in his birthday suit, but no one says anything.
They're all chicken to admit what they believe to be true--because no one else
will say the guy's stark naked. I think A LOT of people think this movie    
sucks, but are afraid to say anything because the movie won the L.A. critics'
award. Hell, what do L.A. critics know, anyway....! Feel free to express your
opinion--I think there's a lot of folks out there who feel the way you and I
do...
