WTF movies!!! have u ever seen a movie and at the end u were like  
i just watched this: 
and i didn't understand it all. so i went to wikipedia to get an explanation and only got more confused: Plot
Prior the events of the film, an unnamed man referred to as The Scientist created the B.R.A.I.N. (or the Fabrication Machine) for peaceful purposes and to help evolve mankind's technology. However, the leader of mankind took control of the machine and used it to wage war on other humans. With the lack of a human soul, the machine was corrupted and turned on mankind, wiping them out using other machines and poisonous gases. The Scientist constructed nine robot-like homunculi referred to as "Stitchpunks", each one alive via a portion of the Scientist's soul, and created an amulet which could be used to destroy the Fabrication Machine. The Scientist died shortly after creating the last of the Stitchpunks, 9. 9 awakens at the start of the film, taking the amulet with him. Outside, in the lifeless and devastated world, 9 meets fellow Stitchpunk 2, who gives him a vocal processor to speak. However, they are attacked by a machine called the "Cat-Beast" and 2 is captured. 9 is saved by one-eyed 5 who takes him to Sanctuary, an abandoned cathedral and home to the Stitchpunks, led by 1, and his bodyguard 8. 9 decides to rescue 2 from an old factory, aided by 5. The two locate 2 and the "Cat-Beast" is destroyed by 7, the only feminine Stitchpunk and a skilled warrior. 9 spots the shutdown Fabrication Machine where the amulet connects to, awakening it. It attacks 2 and sucks out his lifeforce, the soul being the machine's power source. The Stitchpunks retreat to 3 and 4's hideout where they reveal the machine's origins. 9 realises they need to remove the amulet from the machine and returns to Sanctuary where 6 points out they need to return to a disclosed source. Sanctuary is attacked by a bird-like robot, which is destroyed, but as is Sanctuary. A snake-like robot, the "Seamstress", kidnaps 7 and 8, using 2's body as 'bait' and generating a series of flashes through 2's eyes to hypnotize them. 9 pursues it and witnesses 8 being killed by the Fabrication Machine, but rescues 7 before destroying the factory where the machine is, seemingly destroying it as well. The surviving Stitchpunks celebrate, but the machine rises and kills 5, and 6 soon after, the latter warning 9 that the souls of the deceased Stitchpunks are within the machine and it should not be destroyed, as well as the source is in the Scientist's workshop where 9 awoke. 9 goes to the workshop and finds a video recording which explains how the amulet can be used to destroy the machine and free the trapped souls. 9 returns to the others who plan to destroy the machine. During the following battle, 9 prepares to sacrifice himself to defeat the machine, but 1 sacrifices himself to allow 9 to remove the amulet and destroy the machine. The film ends with 9, 7, 3 and 4 releasing the souls of 1, 2, 5, 6 and 8, who, after briefly bidding them farewell, soar into the sky and cause it to rain. The raindrops contain green liquid in them, hinting that life in the world isn't gone after all.

Va Savoir - Dangerous French love triangle that is decided by all involved to be best solved with a waltz.  My friends made me miss a World Series game to see that. | |

I like 9. Jacob's Ladder was a major WTF. | |

The Saddest Music in The World - Isabella Rosellini is a Canadian beer baron with beer filled prosthetic legs that has the smart idea to host a saddest song in the world contest which would depress the spectators at the event so much, they'd want to drown their sorrows in her beer and make her rich. I own this movie.  | |

The biggest head-scratcher I've ever seen though is easily this one:
Drawing Restraint 9 - About a Japanese whaling ship that tries to correct its bad karma by booking couples to mate on it and turn into whales to replenish the ocean. There's also a subplot about constructing a huge petroleum jelly sculpture.  | |

As for 9, I haven't seen it yet, but will someday for sure since Tim Burton's name is attached to it. | |

I don't even know what this was about... Stealing other people's luck, I think. It was pretty out-there.
I don't seem to know what anything is about anymore.  | |

Xagain said: Fury said: That get's my vote Graffiti Bridge is a 1990 drama/musical written, directed, and starring Prince. It is a sequel to his highly successful first film, Purple Rain, though notorious for its relatively low quality and poor performance at the box-office. However, like Purple Rain, it was accompanied by a hit soundtrack. Plot The plot re-joins Purple Rain's lead character The Kid (Prince), in his future life as a performer and club owner. Morris (Morris Day), his rival from Purple Rain, returns as co-owner of The Kid's club, Glam Slam, as well as several others in the area, including his mainstay, Pandemonium. The Kid is forced into paying Morris $10,000 so Morris can pay off the mayor; The Kid in turn can keep co-ownership of his club. Losing clientele, The Kid challenges Morris to a music battle for ownership of Glam Slam. Production The film was panned universally for having a wealth of filler; indeed, the film seems to be a collection of music videos strung together with a loose plotline. The film's screenplay was even rejected by Madonna, who turned down the role of the mysterious angel-like figure, Aura, stating that the writing was awful. A lack of potent characterization or engaging plot left the entire narrative dead and ineffective. The decision to film most scenes in artificial studio sound stages (at Prince's Minneapolis studio Paisley Park) further added a gloomy artifice to the mood. Interestingly, a few video outtakes have surfaced which indicate that the entire movie was intended to have a more fantastic musical feel not unlike old Hollywood musicals or modern Bollywood. The outtakes of two musical numbers "Can't Stop This Feeling I Got" and "The Latest Fashion" would have helped to instill a fantasy mood, but it seems that these elements were cut at the 11th hour in order to force the movie to seem a more proper relative of "Purple Rain". Ideas for the filming began as early as 1987, but was canceled numerous times due to casting. Another brief choice was former girlfriend Anna Fantastic, and then girlfriend Kim Basinger and hopes were high that with Basinger in the film, it could be a hit (as she herself was a talented singer as well) but when she and Prince broke up in 1990, Ingrid Chavez was hastily hired. For Mavis Staples' role, Prince had planned on using Patti LaBelle, but it never formalized. [edit] Reception While Prince's earlier theatrical failures Under the Cherry Moon and Sign ☮' the Times have become cult classics, Graffiti Bridge has yet to achieve any status outside its initial box-office flop.
The critical response for the film was far from favorable, with many reviewers arguing that Prince was attempting to position himself as a "Christ-like" figure, particularly during the sequence for the songs "Still Would Stand All Time" and "Graffiti Bridge". It seemed that The Kid was a far different character from the one in Purple Rain. Indeed, the only characters who remained unchanged were Morris Day and his sidekick Jerome Benton. Cameos included gospel singer Mavis Staples, up-and-coming teen star Tevin Campbell and funk icon George Clinton, although each were confined to roughly one song in the film. The music of the film was seen as the highlight, though "Thieves in the Temple" was the only song to really make an impact on the charts. The title "Graffiti Bridge" comes from a now torn-down bridge located in Eden Prairie, MN. The bridge was torn down in the early 1990s to make way for new construction[1], but to this day remains a local legend. | |

My wife and I recently seen Las Horas Del Dia (2003). It was slow paced and the lead character seems to mull his way thru life in Barcelona, then, unprovoked, he kills a lady cabdriver...then randomly kills others. Weird movie.
 Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |

Liquid Sky takes place in the early 1980s where a very small alien space ship is looking for a heroin fix and settles on top of a punk-apartment building where drug addicts are the order of the moment. The space ship “steals” the emotional state of the heroin addicts to give itself energy. We soon find out that the aliens can also get their fix from people having orgasms. In line with this, the aliens follow around Margaret (played by Liquid Sky writer, Anne Carlisle, who also plays the role of the androgynous Jimmy), who is continually getting raped and forced into having sex with people she doesn’t like. She never orgasms, but her partners always do. At first, the aliens appear to steal this energy by impaling the victims with a crystal scepter, but later, the victims just disappear. Anne starts to think her vagina has the power to kill, and either tries to stop having sex with people she likes (which fails) or seeks out those she hates in order to kill them. All the while, a European scientist, who’s big on the narration (this is the only way we learn what’s going on) is tracking down the alien ship and is attempting to warn the punks.  a psychotic is someone who just figured out what's going on | |

I watched a movie starring Matt damon and Casey Affleck called Gerry and I definitely had that reaction. It tried too hard to be artsy and existential. It seems as if they wanted to leave it to interpretation but they gave you next to nothing to work with. Two hours wasted!  | |

The Cremaster films were odd, but I've never even come across a place where I could see or rent Drawing Restraint 9!! Is it on DVD? Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

I still don't know what the fuck Muholland Drive is about. Other than lesbians. That's the one David Lynch movie I totally understood. It's split into two stories: the first half is what Naomi Watts' character imagined Hollywood life would be like when she moved there and the second half is what actually happened. I have no idea what's going on in Lost Highway. | |
