That was it. Better half voted "out" and over no objection, we left the theater. Wondering why we had gone.

Dui,It's interesting that both you and Victor didn't watch the entire movie.
Perhaps I'm easily entertained but I liked the atmosphere right away. Possibly you were responding to the very static, surreal, quality- nothing seems to happen but in a kind of beautiful way- that does need the right mood to enjoy. This would be the mood when we realize it's been too long since we attended a really great tea ceremony.
But it was fun: I felt that the style communicated the strangeness that foreigners feel about something like the proto-religious cult around Dead Elvis. As someone from "out of town" to where I live, the depiction of foreigners- that awe of the strangeness- in the US seems almost always interesting.
I would suggest trying it again when you're in a semi-David Lunch mood, but would rather see "Stranger than Paradise" -and in colour. But see it through- it's a fun kind of journey movie.
Cheers,
I enjoyed every second of what I saw, and I only turned it off because I was completely exhausted. OK, OK, I do promise to finish it!!!!!
