I saw that in December, really enjoyed it. One does wonder how exact a portrayal it is of campaigns in the US. Not to say that it being inaccurate would take away from the film, purely from a curiosity perspective!
@MrD00d, personally I found Holy Mountain a bit... much. I think any real message it might have contained was lost in the utter insanity of it all. Like many films these days are rather gratuitously violent, this was gratuitously insane. The re-enactment of the Battle of Tenochtitlan using toads and iguanas? The Robot Vagina? That entire section where "Jesus" was being told about the various different superpowers of the solar system was just... what? If the entire film was meant to be an exhibition of pointlessness, then fair enough, but I would consider the entire film to be rather self-indulgent.
