After having hung on for who knows how long waiting for it to wander into the 
Maul cinema, I gotta agree. If anything, the strong sense that I had is that
the script writers themselves had great fun writing the thing, the actors
really enjoyed themselves, and then the studio people saw the rough cuts and
laid a brick, sending some poor hapless smurf scurrying into the editing room
with instructions to make it more linear. Perhaps if they'd adopted the 
"Repo Man" school of PostModern editing (Pastiche is the name of the game,
don't be afraid to *let* the movie unroll in the little world it has created 
for itself), this would have been truly transcendant.

A diamond in the rough, definitely. ANy film that opens with a Marvin Gaye
quote in the middle of a desert test *can't* be all bad, niet waar?
