It is a brilliant film, are you crazy. Lots of fun, very slow, but weird too. The music is wonderful, the acting is great as well….you can’t do better than this for a campy fun ride

yeah, i think it’s missing some of what makes the Lips great - a bigger existential message wrapped in warmth and humor. In the context of it being a campy knock off of 1960’s sci fi, it’s pretty fun. But yeah, i’d like to see him try again - i bet he’d get it right a second time. A silent Wayne as the alien is just not right! I mean, this is a guy that needs to always be heard :)

Yeah. It’s not that great. The best part is the surround sound test. And I’m a fan.
