Yikes. That was 90 minutes of my life I could have put to better use.

bullshit! this is one of Malcolm McDowell's shining moments.

Good Idea for a rainy day, Malcolm McDowell Movie Marathon
Start with Clockwork Orange so you know why you would WANT to watch the rest in the list. Then follow that up with Fist of the North Star and the irredeemable but charming Tank Girl. A plus entertainment all the way.
