Most annoying opening credit sequence I've ever endured

I've never had an opening credit sequence make me want to shut off the movie and smash the DVD with a paperweight before. The music that kept starting and abruptly stopping was NERVE WRACKING! I wanted to see this movie because the other Phil Morrison movie I've seen, JUNEBUG, I really enjoyed and was quite surprised at the restraint he showed as a director. It seemed like in this one all he wanted to do was shout, "Hey! Look at what brilliant, pretentious artist I am!" The hour of the film I did make it through made me never want to endure another minute of his work. Everything about this movie made me cringe, and that opening sequence, well, I just hated it as much as anything I've seen on film in the last five years.

Well, I can tell there's no changing your mind about this movie, but FWIW I really enjoyed the opening credits.

Normally I'm looking down at my laptop during the opening. I've already pre-checked the director and the cast and I don't care about anyone else.

This time, I saw the guy walking. Fine, looked away. Glanced up again, still walking. Next check. . .why are they just showing a house? Oh, haha, that guy was walking behind the house, cute. There's a wall, hahaha, I can still see the top of his head. . .

Different. Quirky. Unexpected. Ultimately captured my full attention.
That's pretty good for "opening credits."
