Probably would have hoped absurdistan lived up to Tuvalu's promise(only to be left wanting). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NEC6NcHWUk Too bad you reviewed Absurdistan first, you would have been more impressed with TUVALU.

Based on <em>Absurdistan</em> I think Helmer has a great weird movie in him somewhere and I hope <em>Tuvalu</em> is it. Someone did suggest <em>Natural Born Killers</em>, though I didn't queue it up. It will get it's shot at the List someday. There's still 316 spots left to be claimed! I haven’t seen Tuvalu beyond the trailer, but I am interested in giving it a chance.

I found Tuvalu MUCH more strange than Absurdistan. As you pointed out, Absurdistan isn't really that weird, I think Tuvalu would might rate at least borderline. Have you seen it? I hold a special place for it because it got my wife interested in "weird" movies. Another surprising one for me is that no one seems to have suggested Natural Born Killers. Love it or leave it, I think it is a big budget weird movie. Yes Stone rams the themes down your throat, but the not-very-subtle-commentary on modern culture seems easy pickings for a review too.

If you liked<em> Tuvalu</em> you might want to check out our review of <a href="http://366weirdmovies.com/absurdistan-2008/" rel="nofollow"><em>Absurdistan</em></a>, also by Veit Helmer. A great offbeat movie, but not quite weird. As for <em>Hedwig</em>, I'm a bit surprised myself that no one has mentioned it before now. Just goes to show how many weird movies there actually are out there. Hey Funky, long time no see. If you liked Tuvalu you might want to check out our review of Absurdistan, also by Veit Helmer.

You may want to wait until we run our next review-writing contest, however; it's about time we did a second one.

Their shorts are worth looking into, as well. <em>Institute Benjamenta</em> has been out of print for a while and will be re-released by the British Film Institute in March. I'm not sure whether it's getting a Region 1 release at the same time but I may well review it if it does. As for as getting on that queue: we're planning on getting 2 items out this week (one down with the publication of <a href="http://366weirdmovies.com/eternal-sunshine-of-the-spotless-mind-2004/" rel="nofollow"><em>Eternal Sunshine</em></a>), but it seems we get an average of 2 new suggestions per week, which means the best we can hope to do is tread water. The readers, not the writers, are controlling the content, which is how it should be. I do wish we could get to the movies faster, though, while still doing a thorough job.
