What's Generation Kill?

It has Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård, son of Stellan Skarsgård (you may remember Stellan from such classics as Deep Blue Sea and Exorcist: The Beginning).
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Siege

I don't remember any movie by that name.

It must be one of those cheap direct-to-DVD movies.

Those ussually suck.

Deep Blue Sea was great, minus the christian proselitist message.

Yeah, that's the one.  Now go back to whacking off to Zach and Cody while you force your wife not to eat for 3 days at a time.

So, infinite loop?
No.  You will know when the time comes to not repeat.

But the instructions specifically say. "Rinse.Lather. Repeat."

It does not say anything about stopping. :(

Of course not.  This is the final test.  Once you solve this riddle everything else in life, from women to the stock market to the cheat code for Mike Tyson's Punch become no more of a challenge than velcrowing your shoes.
PDH!

Did anyone consider Castle Keep?

wow. the trailer looks wild.

From what I recall too many of the production staff must have dropped acid during filming; rather floored and Lancaster didn't impress.  :o

Bah, pooh on you.  Totally awesome, surreal flick.

Then again, it does have Bruce Dern in it.  And where there's Bruce Dern, there's some freaky fucking acid dropped.

Exactly.  At some point you run out of viable contenders.  There's already 10-15 movies on that list that will never be budged.
