"In a way it is quite pretentious in the sense that it is all about me," he said in a matter-of-fact tone.

You mean, in between golf games, Obama has time to make films?

Man, that’s a long time with yer butt in a theater seat and no intermission for a potty break. I’ll settle for the 72-hour trailer.

"I already know how it is going to end," he concluded cryptically.

Lets hope he's not planning a killing spree or something.

Weberg will remove the 72 minute trailer on July 20th and will then destroy the whole 720 hour film when it is aired in six years time

OK, he is probably insane

A brave rebel band fights against imperial domination and the construction of a gigantic, moon-sized space ship with a planet-destroying death beam aided by cute robots and strange, furry midgets...no, wait a minute, I shouldn't have searched on "interminable, pretentious nonsense" at IMDB...

720 hours??? I’d rather watch 200 hours of Obama speeches,
which kind of tells you where I’m coming from, since
you would have to put a gun to my head to get me to
do that, and I’d probably sleep through all of it.

This is nothing, if you were to listen to or watch everyone of the 18,262 radio and TV episodes of Guiding Light from it's 73 year run, it would take a 18 MONTHS, if you took no breaks. It is probably the longest recorded narrative in human history.

a movie lasting 30 days that he will destroy after airing... I hope someone DVR’s it because I sleep a lot in a month. I will miss some of the most important plot twists.

Andy Warhol made a movie about the Empire State Building, run in real time, I think it is 24 hours.

Someone tried to force him to watch his own movie by tying him to a chair. He still managed to escape before it was over.

I think his quote was “sometimes I like to be bored and sometimes I don’t”.

It’s not like Swedish films already have the reputation of being long and boring...

Art is only art in Sweden if it is uber-pretensious
