Opening line to the Pitchfork review. Someone got paid to write that. Someone else was paid to read it first and approve it for online posting. Why is music reviewing a dying art again?

My friend and I had a good laugh after this movie about Godard having made this film as a meta-satirical joke at Hollywood and calling it Godardzilla.

I was lent this by a friend, but couldn't watch more than half an hour or so. It's ridiculous - stupid school-girl antics and lots of French speaking.

Lots of ligering shots of marshland and geography that was definately not Scotland. I knew that this was a Swiss production shot on the continent, but it actually wouldn't hurt if somehow some stock footage of Scotland could have been used.

Many years ago, when surrealism was new, Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali made "Un Chien Andalou," a film so shocking that Bunuel filled his pockets with stones to throw at the audience if it attacked him. Green, whose film is in the surrealist tradition, may want to consider the same tactic. The day may come when "Freddy Got Fingered" is seen as a milestone of neo-surrealism. The day may never come when it is seen as funny.

"Green's one-of-a-kind vanity project achieves a kind of Buñuelian brilliance when he delivers a baby on screen and then chews through its umbilical cord."

no one has to apologize for old movies being boring. Like this is supposed to hold up against pulp fiction, and rushmore, and Bladerunner, and Heat, etc etc etc. Stop apologizing for old films. The 60's had a handful of films that were decent. Try and compare them to Godfather or The Shining. It's night and day. Even Citizen Kane can't compete with 80's-present cinema. Let it go. This movie is boring.

WOULD CHICKS DIG IT? It depends on if they a film buff. Everyone who claims to be a movie lover should see "Battleship Potemkin". It is a true classic. It is not particularly macho and since it is not in smell-o-vision, females should be able to get into the story. Certainly the staircase scene tugs at female emotions as many of the victims are women.

WOULD CHICKS DIG IT? It depends on whether they enjoy Westerns. "The Searchers" is well-balanced. The plot includes some female roles and some gentle humor. Two men fight over the same woman. Women love that. The action is not graphic. The themes should be interesting for women.

WOULD CHICKS DIG IT? The movie does have a lot of talking and is not graphic in its violence. It is also very educational which might be appealing to some females.

WOULD CHICKS DIG IT? Although there is not a single female that has a speaking role in it, I would think most women would enjoy it but wonder what all the fuss is about.

WOULD CHICKS DIG IT? There are strong female characters, even though they are terrorists. It's an interesting movie for both sexes.

WOULD CHICKS DIG IT? More than a male war movie lover. There are two main female characters and one of them kicks ass. The other manipulates two suitors. Something for every female viewer.
