These six films are a diary of that failure. They are bloated, confusing, poorly paced, and often boring. But they are also honest. They show the dreamer fumbling for a language that does not exist. They show the ghost in the machine learning to type.

To watch these six films (07 through 12, the middle children of an incomplete series) is to witness an exorcism. They are not merely bad movies, nor are they successful art.

The choreography is stiff, as if the dancers are moving through wet cement. This is the OMagnet’s cruelest trick: it attracts the idea of joy but cannot synthesize it. We get the form of happiness without the feeling . It is deeply, profoundly unsettling. They show the dreamer fumbling for a language
