Not what I expected to feel after all the anticipation. Lingering, loving exposition is one thing, but dragging it out is another.

maybe I need to go see it again?

...I do have one small confession....I kind of dozed off at one point only to look up to see the female being 'birthed' from the ceiling in a poly bag!!? So I don't discount your premises entirely. Also my job does have long periods of nothing so maybe I'm more 'in the zone' already!?
