Waking Life

This was a great movie and should have been nominated for an Academy Award strictly for the cutting edge animation techniques used(I mean Johnny Neutron was nominated in the Animation category). Richard Linklater also directed Dazed and Confused, Slacker, The Newton Boys and Suburbia. The film was shot on film then they animated with what appears to be SquiggleVision(Dr. Katz anyone?). They're already ripping this style in commercials for Earthlink and Schlotzkie's. It's a VERY dialog driven philisophical movie filled with conspiracy theories and assumptions. It's basically the story of this young man and his attempt to "wake up". He seems to be stuck in a world of lucid dreamstate where he wanders from character to character seeking advice/wisdom/help waking up. But is HE asleep or everyone else? This is not a "don't have to think" movie nor is it one to watch to waste a few hours. Many of the scenes were VERY thought provoking while a few I just wanted to end. One thing's for sure...there's not another movie that has that look. That handful of Stropharia Cubensis Psilocybin sure helped figure it all out.

I only lasted about 30 minutes on this one, I didn't have any drugs. I'm afraid that if I did, the animation would have sent me to the looney bin, and the dialog would have had me contemplating my navel for the next 60 years.

I may give this one a try at another time, when I'm feeling a bit more cosmic.cwm9.gif

Uhhh. LSD and acid are the same thing. That is like saying "I could hook you up with some weed, it worked for me when I watched it. hehe Just kidding, it was marijuana."

Justin -

A poem from less

They say your problem is inside your head

Another hospital visit, a thing to dread

Now your meds have hurt your liver

The sight of pills makes it quiver

We like to abuse you, cause you?re rich

You take it well, with just a twitch

Your typing?s fast, but your spelling sucks

We all just wish, we had your bucks.

Your spirit we envy, your health we don?t

Belabor this more, I promise I won?t

With this sorry-a** poem comes a flompy doodle

And a hope for the health of your ailing noodle
