Wow, does this stink on ice

There's no there there. He's trying to be too clever by half with your (the audience's) not ever knowing if something is "really" happening, or if it's just another scene in one of his movies.

Nothing happens; it doesn't go anywhere; in fact, it just wanders aimlessly. I mean, that whole scene where the car breaks down and they meet up with the UFO seekers is the very definition of wandering aimlessly. Completely random.

What a colossal waste of time. I can see why this is one of the least known of his movies.

I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

I'm truly sorry you felt that "there's no there there". Some of us feel that the film is compelling, insightful and packed with substance, i.e. there's definitely something there there.

It's supposed to be all over the place, that's the point. Who sits back in Memory Lane and goes chronologically? That's the magic of this film for me, it puts me in a wonderful nostalgic state of mind.

Me too. I love watching this movie. It's hard to find, finally came across it on TubiTV of all places.
