Well, it's all about expectations. In a sense, it "makes sense" that it
doesn't make sense. Not everything in the universe was designed to be
intelligible to humans.
I suppose I could sympathize, though. I feel that way about many movies
(Robert Rodriguez, some of Tarantino's work, most of the Coen brothers'
movies). Not from the unintelligible aspect, but from the "let's throw
in some randomness/weird stuff and everyone will think it's cool/deep"
sense.
