Used to think the movie was just a mess. But now I see how every weird choice builds its own strange logic. That's what makes it so fun to watch over and over.
Has your buddy ever pointed out how the lighting changes between takes in the same scene? My friend Mike once tried to count the inconsistencies during a drinking game and gave up after 20 minutes. He swore the lamp on the nightstand moved positions three times in one conversation. That movie is a gold mine.
