PTA is my hero.

You're either creative or you're not. Drugs don't really affect that very much.

Fucking Paramount took the original trailer from Youtube. Does anyone have a new link?

@Manwithcam You sound (or read) interesting. And many thanks for bringing ideas to the table instead of the catfight trite that so often infests these comment slots.

[LunaSeaSane]

@Manwithcam Yes, David Bowie. I'm sure introspection under a state of euforia (what the religious call "ecstasy") must be exhillerating. But amidst all the amazement, euforia and oneness that I imagine would monumentally experienced, I'm sure it could also provide you with an intensified dilusion of absolute certainty. How many would even consider staying healthy, not abusing the process, allowing the body time to recover so you resume a normal life, in the process... that also counts.

[Manwithcam]

@LunaSeaSane Perception is relativistic. Considering what I've already experienced (and the bug powder was a joke) I'd say it's definitely worth my time and continued effort/discipline. Of course, the occasional hallucinogen does help tremendously. And no, I didn't shoot my own foot with that last statement. People who know what I'm talking about know what I'm talking about ;)

[LunaSeaSane]

... and totally defiant of perception. But it's your kharma, babe. As far as I'm concerned, unless it's tantric don't bother.

[Manwithcam]

@LunaSeaSane But inhaling bug powder while sitting on the Tree of Life is still fun.

@jokerboy1991 Come together was written by John Lennon for Timothy Leary's campaign for governor. And Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was based on a drawing that Lennon's daughter made. You don't know what you're talking about, so please, just stop.

I don't know how to say it but every time I watch any PTA film it takes about twenty minutes and then i'm gone...I'm completely enveloped in the story the characters and the film. When I watched Magnolia for the first time I remember blinking and not remembering anything else around me except the masterpiece in front of me

[LunaSeaSane]

Taking heroin or inhaling roach powder will not turn you into the new William Burroughs.

Getting involved in Crowleyism will not turn you into the new David Bowie.

Lesson learned?

Good. Now let's enjoy some talent.

[tygear34]

Same for me. Magnolia is the most beautiful and perfect film I have ever seen.
