my first time watching this movie was also my first time taking acid. i got pulled over that night too (frying balls), i so scared the cop was gonna notice i was frying, but i played it off and only got a speeding ticket. could have been A LOT worse.
Loved it, one of my favorite movies... Really good. I don't care how slow it is, its brilliant (For e.g. I love Apocalypse Now etc.. the running time of a movie shouldn't judge how good it is...)
It is a fantastic movie---I watched it at the theatre when it first came out, and was so impressed I had to go back and see it again the next day. There is a lot of meaning tied into that movie and it is a brilliant Post-Modernistic commentary on modern society. It is also a good account of the psychological implications that shaped a young generation that was born into or spent their formative years during World War II.
Yes I have it on VHS and I cry also... The music sounds so goregous!!-- I love the song COMFORTABLY NUMB like crazy!!
