saw after last season over the weekend with a group of people. it was intermittently strange/boring/terrifying. the director paid a few theaters outside major cities to show his movie for a week. maybe my favorite part was going into the theater where there were not enough title cards for the signs, so it felt like being directed toward something that did not exist, blank labels with arrows showing you where to go. turned out to be a consistent aesthetic between theater presentation and the film itself. a lot of accidentally disturbing elements, like the noise filter that covered for some of the bad audio equipment but incidentally made some background noise sound like distant growling war machines tearing apart the dead.

we made shirts from lines in the trailer before we went, mine:

When you posted the link to the trailer a while back, I swear I thought it was fake and that it wasn't an actual full movie. Huh. Now I'm extra super curious.

the trailer is a pretty accurate reflection of the film, crappy audio, inconsequential and unnatural conversation, a vaguely creepy and creepily vague plot and cg rescued from the early nineties

John, I love you for making more people aware of Circlesquare.

Also, has anyone ever contacted you about your "Difficult to Be Alive" hoodies? I purchased one several months ago and zipped it up only recently to find that the zipper is too long for the hoody, which results in funny bulging. Do you think I just got a freak hoody?

hey, yours is the first complaint i've heard about this! you might want to talk to topatoco about this since they handle all of my merchandise. you may have gotten a freaky hoody! help@topatoco.com will give you a hand if you want to do a refund or exchange or something
