“Every now and then it’s nice to encounter a movie that just cracks open your skull and has rough intercourse with your brain.” — Jason Adams on The Nines, via JoBlo.

    But which came first? The film or the brain?

    Now THAT’S something worth putting on a DVD cover!

    I love a review that is short, sweet, and gets the point across in as few words as possible, and this one satisfies all three requirements. I plan to go out and buy a copy of the DVD this weekend, and if I wasn’t, a review like this one would persuade me to do so.

    I’m not a native speaker, so I’ll probably overdo it, but I really love this sentence.

    I’m sore just thinking about it…

    John–

    Just finished watching your film. Thank you for tickling my brain.

    Even though it has been mere minutes since the credits rolled, I can honestly say that this will be one of my favorite films– you’ve touched upon a topic that is nearly impossible to even hint at. Kudos to you.

    If there was ever a DVD that should come packaged with a few hits of acid, this would surely be it.

    Again, thank you.

    Damn, John. I just watched The Nines on DVD. Wow.
