This is an “old” (It was released a few months ago) short I rediscovered today. I did a search here for “the parlor” but it came negative so I assume nobody posted about it. you can stream either the low or high definition movie [HERE](http://www.chryslermdff.com/films.asp)\* (Click on the second movie from the right) or download (and/or stream it if you have broadband) a high definition version [HERE](http://www.barkode.com/randomfiles/the_parlor_x_dsl.wmv) And trust me on this: If you haven’t already seen this, go for it. It is worth your time and bandwidth. I guarantee it! And if you are going to comment on the plot or the ending, please do so in a spoiler box. Enjoy! \*You need to register. It’s free. ---

Ah well. Everyone I showed it to loved it. Sorry you didn’t like it. I will let this thread die now. ---

If it’s the film I’m thinking of (I can’t get it to play, I just read the description), I too, think it was terrific fun. Really great. And for me it isn’t even about the ending, it’s just the whole concept. So I agree with you, Gozu. ---

thanks Stoid. Yeah, it sounds like we’re talking about the same thing. I just wanted my fellow dopers to enjoy it as well. Maybe they’re all on dialup and can’t spare the bandwidth… _sigh_
