Alright. Let me try to explain this movie. It's Korean animated... set in the future or whatever where the only source of energy is human pooh so the government outfits everyone with an anal ring that registers when you crap and they reward you with a super-addictive juicybar. So the Juicybars are so addictive that a whole group called the Diaper Gang forms and... that's the backstory. The actual plot of the movie would probably (and I'm not joking) take me all night to write.

To me, this movie suffered similar to The District from last year. Visually, it's stunning. But it's so fast and busy and it never slows down that you get overstimulated. I dozed off for a bit of this toward the end but let me tell you, my little dream fragments as I hazed in and out were AWESOME.

I feel kind of bad though because I could tell this wouldn't be something I'd love from the trailers and really only saw it because there was nothing else in the time slot that interested me. I think most of the people that watched it really liked it and, after seeing Dai Nipponjin last night, I completely understand why Tim's so crazy for this. Just too crazy for me (i'm a fogey!)
