More of the same.  Try the first disc and see if that's a good thing for you or not.  Me?  Still ambivalent.

I'm a reluctant Will Ferrell fan.  It doesn't help that this is actually pretty fucking funny.  Nor that Amy Adams is in it and she's hot and pretty fucking funny as well.

The show's kind of losing steam for me.  I mean, I still want to hang out with the guys, but I'm okay if I don't see them for a while in between, you know?

Propaganda for Gibson Guitars posing as a documentary about electric guitars.  Or maybe it just somehow escaped the filmmakers that even if they flirted with Gibsons early on, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, David Gilmour, Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy, George Harrison, Eric Johnson, Bonnie Raitt, Richie Sambora, and Stevie Ray Vaughn spent the remainder of their careers playing Strats.

Mediocre early attempt to make American Beauty that's really only notable for featuring a fair amount Faye Dunaway's naked flesh.

If this was nothing but dialog, then you'd have a decent movie.  Ironically, it's the action that brings this picture down so much so that it's hard to like it through all the overacting and cartoonish reaction shots.

Okay, this is a different kind of prank.  This disc?  The 30 minute first episode of the show.  That's it.  No extras unless there's some sort of auto-loading spyware that films your reaction via your webcam and sends it back to the studio for them to laugh at when you discover you wasted a spot in your Netflix queue on a disc that is only interesting for historical reasons, not terrible funny, and (did I mention this already?) ONLY 30 MINUTES LONG!

David Lynch movies are weird.  This is weird even for a David Lynch movie.  It's almost amateur time with a first-time director using a DV camera.  Because that's what he's doing now and eschewing film altogether (supposedly forever).  I can't exactly recommend it, but at the same time, it's too different from most else for anyone looking for something different to pass on.  Oh, and even Lynch admits it really doesn't make any sense, so don't get yourself all Mulholland Dr. this time around.

Holy fuck, this chick loves to talk about poop!  I thought I married the only girl this obsessed with excrement.  WTF?
