My BFF didn't either and it baffles me.
I'm a fan of "show, don't tell". This movie spent the first hour explaining the logic behind its world, by one character telling another about it.
It didn't catch me, at all.
I liked the movie but i agree. But the biggest problem with it for me is that i could never live up to the hype. By the way people talked about it i expexted an experience that i had watching fight club or the matrix as a teenager.
Am I strange for never having ever heard of it until just a few days ago?
Not strange at all. I feel like we are always getting pushed to liking things that are overhyped. The movie did trigger my emotions so for me it was amazing; that's the beauty of films what you might like I won't and it's ok.
Not sure I can watch hot dog finger scenes again... So once and done for me.
