Haha! This sounds like a new thread: under the influence of what substance did you "enjoy" a movie ;-)

The first time I viewed 2001, it was a midnite film at the local bijou, after the lights went down, the smoke lit up. (Incidentally, I was enjoying some miscellaneous party favours). A girl started to ad-lib (out loud) during the initial monkey / chimp pan, giving each character a name (that was in the current news at the time) ... most of the crowd starting laughing along. It was on. ad --- On Mon, 7/13/09, jbirddouglass <[email protected]> wrote: From: jbirddouglass <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MOPO] FAVORITE FILM THAT YOU HAVE TO DEFEND To: [email protected] Date: Monday, July 13, 2009, 11:52 AM I'll confess: I saw "2001" the first time in Cinerama, in 1968, after taking a capsule of particularly pure blue Mescaline, a synthesized form of peyote. The stuff came on during the intermission, just before Hal began to run amuck and the light show began and all that weirdness started in. I was absolutely enthralled by the spectacle, but I was equally enthralled by the lava-like stream of tail lights on the cars ahead of me during a post-dusk traffic jam on the Bay Bridge in San Francisco as I drove myself and my girl friend back from the film. Sorry, Stanley. I watched it again recently after taking a capsule of pure ibuprofen. I still enjoyed the film, more as a nostalgic curio than anything else, and my back didn't hurt once.
