I've given it several tries and it never quite satisfied me.

It's simultaneously beautiful and disappointing. Wasnt there some rumor of a much longer cut not long after it came out?

Spoiler: show

epiphany on Justin's behalf made the ending feel forced and all the other loops and concepts left on floor (e.g. do the totem poles have the same effect as the loop borders?)

Spoiler: show

Were they in a larger loop? Was their mothers death part of the camp's loop? An attempt at the creation of another loop? Was their escape from 'the camp' defeating the entity after many attempts trying to get them to leave?

Spoiler: show

Is God a vengeful entity that is just fucking with for us own amusement or do we do this to ourselves?

Me neither, but I really want to see it. I like to watch movies with people and nobody I know wants to watch it.

What we've got here is failure to communicate
Some men, you just can't reach
So, you get what we had here, last week
Which is the way he wants it
Well, he gets it
And I don't like it any more than you men

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
