                        Miracle Mile is a great stoner flick! It has this fierce momentum from the time the guy the gets the phone call to the end-of-the-world finish. Totally harrowing, with or without chemicals.

                        Non-stoners like it too!

                          I have to admit that I am riveted throughout Miracle Mile and right up to the last words about diamonds.

                          I'm also rather fond of a story (possibly apocryphal) about DeJarnett buying the rights to it back so that he could end it the way he wanted to end it.

                          But it's such a heavy ending that I'd be actually hesitant to hand it to people who were chemically altered.

                            I interviewed Steve De Jarnatt for my old zine and MM WAS done substantially the way he wanted it, ESPECIALLY the ending. Every studio in Hollywood wanted that movie, but NONE liked DeJ's finish as written. He hawked the script around town for 10 years before the silly "Cherry 2000" made him temporarily bankable and he could swing MM his way.

                            Steve is that rarity, a Hollywood artist with bedrock integrity. When I met him, he was busy resynching the score for the DVD release. It was "off" in some way audible only to him. He's a total perfectionist.

                            Btw, one of the papers I write for is located in the "Mutual Benefit Life" building on Wilshire. The elevator ride up always makes me feel a little creepy...

                            "But it's such a heavy ending that I'd be actually hesitant to hand it to people who were chemically altered."

                            Very true. It takes a certain "realist" sensibility to take that movie even straight.

                              Nice.

                              I first watched that movie with a bunch of friends and at the end, the room was totally silent. I was just about to comment on how beautiful I thought it was when someone else said "What the hell were you thinking, showing that at a perty?"

                              Eh, different strokes.

      Groove Tube? Yeah, wasn't that the one that had Chevy Chase in it? Before he was famous...or, should I say, when he was funny?

        Sun, October 23, 2005 - 10:43 AM
        funny -- that's what Richard Belzer (co-star of Groove Tube) said about Chase: "I've known Chevy Chase for so long, I actually knew him when he was funny!"

          I have a personal high times favorite.

          Pulp Fiction

          Once the pace picks up it is so intense, you can over analyze it to death.

          I also really like to ist back with the Big Lebowski, or Clock Work Orange.

            i watched The Walll and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas back to back a few months ago while baked and about midway through F & L i felt like i was collapsing inward on myself like a giant, human shaped souffle. Around that time, my legs began to feel like they had been replaced below the knees with lead weights and it felt like it took me ten minutes to walk the ten feet from my couch to the bathroom and i began to feel quite afraid that i was going to piss all over myself as a result, but mercifully i was moving more quickly than i thought and got where i needed to be.

            i highly recommend the experience.

            nice list!! that was what i looking for...

            but, man! WHAT is the fascination with Xanadu?! *G* that thing was awful, and not in a good way! (though, the trippy Gene Kelly sequence was pretty cool.)

                      i just thought id mention BLUE SUNSHINE since it has a drug element in it and i enjoy watching it while under the influence there of but i recomend it to anyone overall...maybe I'll post some pictures from it here if there are no objections?

                      heheh actually since someone else mentioned i used to watch the '68 NOTLD semi religiously whilst 420...at times running the orig and the remake from 90 at the EXACT same time to enjoy the slight pacing diffrence ect at the same time...

                        The Monkees 1968 movie, Head.

                        Surprisingly interesting. Visually, it's amazing--much more cinematic skill, originality, quirkiness than much of anything the Beatles did. There's a scene at the beginning involving an guy underwater and mermaids that I just want to play over and over again. The belly dancing scene is really interesting too.

                        Tres trippy.

                          Head
                          Yeh the underwater scenes in the film look great when you watch it with chroma depth(clear lens)3-D glasses too!
                          I rarly mention that film cause as soon as i say Monkees people think its the tv show and make a face...and you know its far from anything they did on the sit com
                          ...another post head tv special thats way bizzare that might be weird enough to watch whist under influence of your choice would be their last tv 'special' 33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee....its not as cool but definatly fed up and psychedelically pissed on...
