Dont answer this CQ

Yesterday, my wife, Silvia, and I sat down to watch a movie on Amazon. As I
flicked through Movies we think youll like I happened to run across a movie
name CQ. Hey, look at this, I said jokingly.

Lets watch it, Silvia replied. It looked pretty cheezy, but I thought that
Id give it a shot.

Heres how IMDB describes the movie:



A young filmmaker in 1960s Paris juggles directing a cheesy sci-fi debacle,
directing his own personal art film, coping with his crumbling relationship
with his girlfriend, and a new-found infatuation with the sci-fi films
starlet.




YIKES! I should have trusted my gut on this one. This movie was even worse
than I thought. It cut back and forth between scenes from the cheesy sci-fi
debacle to scenes of the personal art film to scenes of the actual movie,
with none of it making much sense. And, while I think you were supposed to
sympathize with the predicament of the young filmmaker who was trying to
find himself, he was such a whiny twerp that such feelings were impossible.

Nothing about this movie really made much sense, including the title. They
did have someone sending CQ during the opening credits, but there wasnt a
hint of Morse Code in the rest of the picture. Instead of watching this
movie, my time would have been much better spent actually calling CQ on 80m!
