What the fuck, over?  This movie is not funny, it is not memorable, and it is not enjoyable.  It's a story that reads like it was written by some pinhead with ADD who heavily self-medicates with marijuana; a ridiculous amount of random things happened for no damn discernible reason or even a more than tenuous connection between them.  I am a charter member of the Jeff Bridges Fan Club and the way he was wasted was nearly criminal, and the same goes for Steve Buscemi.  The movie needed a lot less John Goodman and a lot more John Turturro.  It feels like some film student decided to ape the Coen brothers.  If i hadn't rented this movie for free with a coupon, i would feel totally ripped off.  Something about the movie made me dodge it when it came out, and all the years since, but i finally decided to fill in a gap in my Coen brothers movie track, and now i'm sorry.  I blame all of you jerks.

Oh, by the way, since it seems that "watch it again another 10-40 times and you'll get it" is a really popular suggestion, i have two words for you: Stockholm syndrome.

First off you need to start by reviewing the films of Busby Berkley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busby_Berkley) so that you will readily and easily be able to locate and understand the deep inner symbolism of the BerkleyEsque Moments that occur throughout the film, in their Homage not only to that Berkley, but to Locke, Berkley And Hume, and the progression of the early Empiricists in the grand Homage to our full on american way of life as we transition from the 18th Century Epistemologies to the current post-post-modernist epistemologies of our new and more improved american way of life.

This is where you cultural myopia has dragged you down, and your failure to embrace the deep inner post meaningful symbolisms.
