I haven't even been able to get through the short version of that movie. While I like it a lot, it's something I really ... have to be in the mood for, I guess.

heh, that's understandable...it's definitely not one of those 'sit down and watch just because it's on' kind of movies. i just love how...I dunno...surreal the whole thing is, it's amazing.

Yeah, Heart of Darkness (the book it's based on) reads just like that - surreal. Out of all the characters in the book, the author only mentions two by name. The effect is pretty neat.

Though very looong the continuity is MUCH better in "Redux".

werd.

it's kind of strange...I need to actually watch the shorter one again, just to see how much they smoothed things out in 'redux.' it was hard to tell what exactly they added and what was in it before.
