My favourite *sToNeR* movies.....

[pipeman]

whoa!.... what can I say..... I just finished watching the most strangest movie and trippiest movie....called "ALTERED STATES"? I brought this DVD other day from a shop for only $10. It's made in 1980 and its got William Hurt in it (the actor from the mocie called Children of the Lessor God)..... very strange movie I dunno what to say, I was pretty hungover and stoned.

 

Its about this wacko who is the "subject" himself doing experiments using senory deprivation with add of powerful hallucinogenic drugs from Mexico and explores these "altered states" which mades his tempory madness a blessing to him....  fucking strange movie for those interested in wacko themed movies, which of course, I am a big fan of these kind of movies 

 

Check out if ya interested....

thanks for the tip urb, I'll check it out.

 

just gotta see if I can find a place that sells DVD's for $10

There's fair places in Brisbane selling off cheap DVD, JB Hi Fi (I think I mentioned it to you other day pipe ) have got heaps of DVD's for cheap prices from $5.00 - $20.00 for old movies, got the Altered States from that music shop, Sanity, and also BlockBusters and Video Ezy are currently selling cheap ex-rentals at the moment.

 

I think you will find this movie bit odd, yet interesting, but might bore some people.

 

cheers,

There is no point in reading the book 'Fear and Loathing in las vegas, its very much the same as the movie.

Has anyone read 'The Teachings of Don Juan, A yaqui way of knowledge' by Carlos Castaneda?? Great book.

And a foreign movie called 'Holy Mountain' its on SBS all the time. Trippiest movie ever. Theres a scene where they make jesus take a shit in a jar, and they take the jar and boil it and all the smoke goes into this bigger jar that jesus is in, and jesus is spewing and sweating from the smell and they collect all his spew and sweat in this other jar.

If anyone knows about were I could get a DVD of this movie please tell me?

i don't know whether it's not worth reading the book....you are right white cluster in saying that the film is very true to the book, but i think that you can miss out a lot of stuff by not reading it...the language of hunter s. thompson can be really appreciated in the book....the book also allows you to make your own interpretation and allows your mind to bring the story to life....johnny depp did portray thompson very well though, he even wore some of thompson's clothes in the film...

Is that the HUGE bookstore? with squeaky wooden carpet floors? the next street next to Queens Street Mall?

yep that's the one urb....i used to get sucked into a time vortex in there....could spend hours in there....excellent..excellent shop....unfortunately they reduced the size a bit....but i still think they are one of the best 2nd hand bookshops in the city, and i do miss not being able to pop in there...bit pricey but can be justified in some instances when you have been looking for a book that is out of print or is hard to find and they can do a national search for you if they don't have something you want...
