As you know, After Last Season opened in Lancaster, North Aurora, Austin, and Rochester over the weekend.  It doesn’t show up on boxofficemojo‘s list of the top 50 highest-grossing movies, which seems to indicate that it earned less than Herb & Dorothy‘s $1000.  Which, according to these five guys who saw it in Lancaster, is a shame as it is an experience not to be missed.  Some of their observations:

  • “If I had to sum it up, I’d say it’s about a lot of blank walls with paper on them.  And furniture.”
  • “40% of the movie was MS Paint-style graphics.”
  • “Another third of that is like still shots, shots of cabinets, of chairs, of paper, tape…”
  • “The movie is very effective in that after a while you start to feel schizophrenic.”
  • “Most of the movie was set in one room, and by the end of the movie, I still had no idea of what the geography of the room was.”

So far, no one has taken credit for this as a joke, so it just may be the real deal.  If you live near where it’s playing, please go see it.  The world needs to see this film.  As far as I can gather, it’s like if spaghetti cat was an entire movie.

From another review:

We are treated to inane fragments of conversation by characters who have little to do with whatever plot there is, snippets of discussions about towns people have lived in, markets they haven’t been to, computer printers that don’t work. Most of the characters appear to be grad students studying psychology, and some sort of story finally gets underway when Matthew (Jason Kulas) engages Sarah (Peggy McClellan) in the psychology test mentioned above. It’s the usual “tape a computer chip to your temple and read each other’s thoughts, which are represented as blocky geometric computer animation you could have whipped up on your Commodore 64 in 1983″ sort of test.

This. Sounds. Amazing.
