I really like that movie, but I haven't seen it in at least five years.  It's got Judd Nelson as a failed comedian who one day has an arm grow out of his back.  It also has Bill Paxton.  Everybody loves Bill Paxton.

The whole thing is very self-consciously weird, which is why I liked it.  There's probably some commentary on Hollywood in the movie too, but I was a lot younger when I watched it, and less versed in the annoying ways of referentialism.

You know, when Spike Jonez makes a movie like this, it's genius.  I guess it depends on the weirdness currently in fashion.

"But how is it
That this lives in thy mind?  What seest thou else
In the dark backward and abysm of time?"

I've heard about this film; It's on my must-see list. Pity I don't get Space-- This just might edge out starring in Barnes & Barnes' videos as the strangest thing Bill Paxton's ever done.

Ah....an arm growing out of his back, you say? Could make wipeing easier.....picking your own pocket......hold a box in your hands and goose the gal behind ya, and when she complains, say "Wern't me, my hand are full".......oh man....Hey, this guy ain't related to Zaphod Bebelbrox is he?

Damn you Flangepart! Now your making me wish I had that other hand. Where's a radioactive dump when you need it?
