That kinda reminds me of how I came up with a quick description of -End of Evangelion- to a friend of mine who was curious about it.

"Think of it like this. Remember how much of a mind trip the ending of 2001: A Space Oddysey was? Okay, now imagine 2001: A Space Oddysey, but instead of Stanley Kubrick directing, you have David Cronenburg. THAT'S how f__ked up End of Evangelion is, okay?"
