nutcase-dazzling

present participle. Shiny. Pretty. Especially if you're batshit-loony.

Real citation: "But maybe the myriad flaws of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' are simply the downside of genius. There are sequences in 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' that are as nutcase-dazzling as anything Burton has ever attempted."
(Stephanie Zacharek, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," Salon, http://salon.com/ent/movies/review/2005/07/15/charlie/index1.html)

Made-up citation: “Few philosophical statements are as nutcase-dazzling as Taoist Chuang Tzu’s immortal words, ‘To use a horse to show that a horse is not a horse is not as good as using a non-horse to show that a horse is not a horse.'”
