Reception
The film received poor reviews.

gollark: The weird spacing and the `state` array. Or perhaps I just pattern-matched it to "vaguely coltranious" somehow and my brain is trying to rationalize it.
gollark: Well, I assumed you would do something simpleish and yet vaguely esoteric, and you did.
