. . . which is not exactly a compliment, as Ambrose wrote that eccentricity is "a method of distinction so cheap that fools employ it to accentuate their incapacity." Sure, I can see where GUY-X intends to follow in the footsteps of CATCH-22, M.A.S.H., and DR. STRANGELOVE. Maybe the novel this movie is based on is readable, but this flick is barely watchable. Even the mediocre movie versions of THE SINGING DETECTIVE, NAKED LUNCH, and EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES are all twice as interesting as this flick. Too bad there's no English version or U.S. DVD of PRUFSTAND VII, the 2002 German rendering of Thomas Pynchon's masterwork GRAVITY'S RAINBOW. I don't see how it could be a worse mash-up than GUY-X. A couple tips to director Saul Metzstein: 1)don't have TWO SCENES of nude chicks streaking on an army base if you can't afford at least 40 watts of lighting, and 2)if your plot involves a secret ward for horribly disfigured war casualties, provide some "back story" before the film is finished!
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: The body of noted American author (An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge) Ambrose Bierce, born June 24, 1842, recently was discovered in total cryogenic hibernation at the back of a Central American warehouse. Bierce is expected to be fully defrosted by late 2049 or early 2050. Based on my 85 previously posted IMDb comments and background in Bierce studies, the author's guardians have commissioned me to review a periodically updated list of films to help guide his future leisure pursuits, with the provision that my comments also be made available to the general public.
