"the filmmakers took themselves too seriously"

This is true! I remember thinking as I left the theater, where were the penis jokes and synchronized dance numbers? What a disaster!

And that's before we even get to the cross-cutting between events happening simultaneously on different planets. Like BRO DO YOU EVEN SCIENCE. THAT IS JUST NOT COOL YOU GUYS, COME ON YOU GUYS. WOW JUST WOW.
 
The only other use I can find of the term "peeled zero" - beyond Google AI making shit up - is in a poem by Don Blanding, who died in 1957:

You know what you reminds me of?

In arthmetic they’s got a little figure they calls a Zeero.

A zeero is Nothing with a line around it.

Nothing with a line around it. That’s your present frame

of mind.

And you know what’s happened to you?

You was up on the corner Zeeroing at the top of your voice.

You was zeeroing at all the pretty girls passing by, and

I don’t blame your for that.

But that Ol’ Devil comes up behind you and sees this bunch

of nothing with a line around it called a Zeero.

And just like slipping the skin off of a grape, he skins

that line from around that Zeero.

And what’s left?



…..A PEELED ZERO’ Yessir, a PEELED ZERO.

Just a big bunch of bare nothing without even its underwear on.

And there ain’t nothing in the world so cold and dismal and

lonesome as a peeled Zeero. Nothing around it.

Nothing in front of it.

Nothing behind it.

I think I'll put this one in my pocket for later...
