This might be my favorite short film of all time. It revolves around a man who is determined to start his very own cult, in order to expose the truth of the alien Hamitars (predecessor of our beloved American entrée, the Hamburger). Unfortunately, he is still the only member of his cult, and no one else seems to be interested in believing the nasty truth about Hamburgers, the Blarpin Cube, or Regis Philbin (an evil alien in disguise). I love everything about this short, from the acoustic guitar soundtrack to the half-matching voiceover narrator to the mountaintop climax with another lonely trailblazer. Everything is deliberately relaxed and meandering, but a lot of fun to watch. Others have complained that it gets dull in the middle, but I didn't find that to be true (it's only five minutes long!) and I actually laughed several times at the mismatching visual gags. Also I liked the retro set design (although possibly it's just someone's apartment) and the way the old pieces meshed with the 21st-century, scientology-esque plot. I can't say enough good things about this. Not too stupid, not too slow, and not without a good story. It may not be everyone's taste, but personally I loved it.
