well i spent the last year watching whenever possible this 85 hour film if you can call it that. even if you dont call it a movie its nevertheless brilliant. ANY man who can film a movie of this magnitude deserves an oscar for best attempt. i heard that at some college kids sat and watched all day for a few days this movie which is just plain ridiculous without a real plot its just mindless babble (often hilarious,often no purpose) well never the less check it out next time u have 85 hours to your self
