i've only seen the first 15 minutes of it, everytime I try watching it I am interrupted. It's almost as if god doesn't want me to see it...oh, but I will. I WILL! especially since I own it.
from the first fifteen minutes I must say its very interesting and makes me kind of dizzy, which is always good.

I saw this.  this was really good.  it began with kinda this pretentious flair but the ending, the last two songs, were killers.
