That's the weirdest worm movie since "Lair of the White Worm." In fact, that should be one of the bonus features on some DVD special edition of "Lair of the White Worm."

If there's a Ken Russell Prize for Cinematic Achievement, this should be one of the finalists.

@cletar: You're shooting too low man! This deserves it's own special edition 2 disc set with tons of extras and it would obviously be the winner in that competition!

I wonder what Potter Stewart would have to say about this.

lauded by Perez Hilton ...

Not sure if that's something to be proud of.

@North Star:

Can we get "The Worm" to eat Perez already? Now that would be entertainment!

If this piece of crap gets or has funding I'm officially giving up on the "art" world. (Also Matthew Barney should be slapped.)

@Alizarin: isn't the point of the "art" world to make things like this?

Are you going to say that this is NOT better than the new Transformers 2 movie?

@jp182: I don't know if Alizarin would say that, but I will. Transformers 2 at least gave us something, in the form of giant robots punching each other. This movie, on the other hand, seems to revolve around a concept every blogger and their mum have cottoned on to by now.

And not to mention the little things like camerawork, lighting, editing, sound design, etc. that nobody usually cares to mention, but which do count towards the overall quality of a movie.

@His_Steveness: So not fair to compare this to "Transformers:2" in terms of technical quality as that film had a budget of...oh I'd say..like 200 million dollars more than this little creepy beauty and had countless crew members working on it as well. As far as sheer entertainment...I'd say "The Worm"s got em' hands down.

@jp182: No, no it's not. At least the art world I am willing to count myself apart of. The "Post Modern" art world isn't one of those.

Haven't seen Transformers one or two, so you might just be right. That being said if it's weird disturbing videos featuring Drag Queens I'd much rather hop in my time machine and visit Rupaul and James St. James: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgWn7zbgxZ4

Then at least it's not celeb-centric and goofy for the sake of goofy not some feigned "art piece" with an...um...message.

A triumph! A shattering commentary on the industry that eats performers souls so it can emit mindless garbage to the masses.

I was moved to tears.

@cletar:

Can we get that damned "Oscar" for Nadya already or are we gonna have to pour beans all over the judges and let the "The Worm" loose on them to convince em'?! When's the 'Academy Awards" show again? I say we should all vote Nadya Ginsburg for "Best Actress" as a write in. Who's with me on this?

When I die, if I see either of those women with their faces wreathed in light ahead of me, I am turning right the hell around and going back to earth to inhabit the first inanimate object I find.
