Hey! AOL Time Warner! That was a thing.
Solondz is unable to get financing for his movies these days… but on the other hand, you have to ask yourself why we were subjecting ourselves to his movies in the first place. I need more pillows to hide behind while watching this.
Wow, weird desks. You can’t adjust the chairs?

Well, I dunno. It’s such an aggressive movie — it’s designed to get a rise out of people. And the second part of it seems designed to be critic proof — Solondz has already made all the criticism you could make, so ha ha!
I think the only way the two parts work is that the second part tries to defuse any objections you had to the first part? And that’s just ass covering. So it’s no wonder that the featured review on imdb is:
Yeah yeah yeah right.
More confusing are the reviews by actual reviewers:
With things like:
So… that’s… bad?
That’s true.
But I dunno. I admire some of this movie, but it’s hard to make the case why anybody should subject themselves to watching this movie.
