Now this movie is downright hilarious. Mickey Rourke is great and Billy Corgan does the soundtrack. What more could you ask for.

I thought it was more depressing then funny, but it does have a few laughs. Some of the characters struck to close to home with some friends I have known.

I think its supposed to be more along the lines of black humor. Have you ever known any of those actors to be in any "serious" drama?

As I said parts of it were funny, and I think it was intended to be funny, but I just found it to be more sad then anything else. Rourke and Shwartzman were great in it, but overall it just left me feeling a little empty.

Great opening-scene. Just cruising with Zwan's acoustic cover of Number of the Beast playing. Great stuff.

Awesome cover. It's on the single for Honestly, looked all over for it after seeing the movie.

Much better than Requiem for a Dream to me. Great cameos by Rob Halford and Billy Corgan.

I met the dude who wrote this movie. One seriously crazy man.

They're probably going to make a sequel: Spun Again.
