Quotes
The Dream: Cows stand in their shit. They stand in their shit... 'cause they're cows. Pigs stand in their shit, 'cause they're pigs. Some misbehaving humans be making hamburgers out of my sons and daughters. We are not cows. We don't stand in our shit. The reason we don't, it's because I won't let that happen. I got each and every toilet and comfort taking that shit from all your little asses and sending it down to pipes 'till it reaches a place were, nobody thinks about it, and nobody smells it. Isn't that nice of me?

I STRONGLY recommend everyone watch this.

Is it good? No. Is it coherent? Hah! Is it the worst movie ever? Quite possibly.

So why would I recommend anyone watch this steaming pile of incoherent garbage? To come back and read the IMDb reviews after.

There's something cathartic about seeing the immense anger of all the other poor viewers who survived this experience. Their frustration, their rage, their inability to comprehend the world any longer... after you watch this "movie," you too will understand that sensation. And it is truly uniting.

... but from the perspective of a good use of time, no, don't watch this. It has no plot, horrible acting, and dialogue written by (and likely for) a 4 year old. It did have one incredible accomplishment though - the director managed to turn $6 million into $100,000 box office gross. So it has that going for it.
