a few nights ago, i dropped acid and watched this movie...man, what an experience..so deep..i recommend it to everyone
sharenoted. and i bet. definetly on my list of things to try. i was actually thinking about shrooms, since i am a big fan of shrooms and have never tried acid yet. it's not easy to find and i'm not really looking very hard. that'll change someday.

whos to say altered isn't real? whos to say 'real' isn't just another form of 'altered'? I suggest watching this film sober and while on the drug of your choice. Nothing wrong with a few different perspectives
It's just with drugs such as marijuana, mushrooms, LSD etc, the information tends to hit you harder, you think about it far more deeply than you would sober, things appear clearer and you have euphoria for 'discovering' these new things. And it is quite real. It's not like we imagine everything when we're on drugs. It all depends on your perspective of drugs, and how you let the drug affect you. Like, for instance, if you tried drugs now gogo (which I know you wouldn't), the affects would be over-all negative and unsatisfying, because that's what you're expecting
i agree with ccknight. and i did watch it sober beforehand. acid makes it more of a penetrating experience. was just an experiment i guess. cheers
shareoh and i'm not recommending people to do drugs. i'm recommending accompanying this film with a psychedelic experience as an experiment. note i didn't say coke or H or mdma or any of the hard *beep*
sharecouldnt put it better myself ... i posted the idiot a reply before i read your idea of inner knowlage seeking n im most impressed by your revelation of those who like to broaden there insights deeper than there own conciousness of reality....keep da faith CCKNIGHT n keep it high n proud infact soo proud its simply humble,like jesus...but best not get into that kinda mindf"cking critera yet...but worth a few years of your time to go through..
DREAMING THE DREAMS OF THE DREAM ,UPWARDS N ONWARDS KEEPING IT HIGH N PROUD FIGHTING FOR THE CAUSE FOREVER AND A DAY TRUE FAITH TILL WE DROP N THERE ON....
Acid? Just say no!
I watched it on just weed and it was scary as hell. (Okay some really potent B-52 that some lady grew organically with seaweed and sang to everyday that was also vaporized. But weed is weed.) I don't need to heighten that.
What the hell are you talking about, kid?

it's not necessarily your differing opinion that'll draw the hate, it's your seemingly self-superior attitude about your differing opinion that'll do it.
Contrary to what some may think, written inference IS readable and your choice of words on the subject indicated that you were sitting in judgment of the OP and any who made similar recommendations. It would have been possible to express your disagreement in a non-controversial fashion without throwing out the obvious value judgment, but as it was, you opted for the verbal spitball followed by a nice dose of self-martyrdom.
Personally, I've seen the movie in altered and unaltered states and while i enjoyed it both ways, I actually do prefer the movie by a fair margin when i'm sober because when i'm not, certain concepts expressed in the film sometimes tend to get "under my skin" in ways with which i am not always comfortable nor can i adequately explain.
for me, there are spots where it's a little TOO REAL for me when i'm "altered" - and when that happens, sometimes i like it, sometimes i don't
I was actually able to enjoy this movie while not on drugs. Shocking, isn't it, that it's possible to think without the use of illegal substances?
shareHaha as soon as I saw this thread I knew there would be one or two people sat on their thrones casting judgement.
No-one said they can't enjoy this movie sober, all they are saying is watching the film on psychadelics enhances the experience. And seeing as these people have watched the film both sober AND on drugs, I would say they are in a better position to make an informed decision on it that someone who has not.
I enjoyed this film sober, and enjoyed it on the several occasions I smoked weed with friends and watched it. Please understand that taking drugs isn't about necessity, its about trying to expand your mind and see things in a different way. With that in mind, if you are going to take drugs you may aswell watch something as beautiful and thought-provoking as Waking Life ;-)
If you are against drugs, why would you click on a topic called "watching this on acid..." Obviously this is a topic for people who are interested in drugs.
shareThe funny thing is these people crying out against drugs are basically advertising their ignorance to the rest of us. Good job buying into societies laws like they're laws of nature or something.
sharefunny thing is people who do drugs dont realize thier are ruining their lives. you dont need laws knowing that being on drugs is bad, only intellect, something wievers of this movie claim to have. appernetly not all.

I love your signature. Describes you nicely. What about drugs ruins your life? *beep* tons of celebrities smoke pot and while they may be douche bags I'd consider them to be a lot more successful than you. I bet you also think alcohol should be legalized without realizing that it's a lot more dangerous than acid or weed, AND it's also a drug. LOL. Go back to school child.
shareruning for personal insults is all you can? your a perfect example of why drugs ruin lives. and if you think the "smoking celebrities" lives are good you can only see surface glitter. if you think that *beep* your way to where money is is good life i pity you.
Now totaly out of topic you put in alcohol, which is as drug as any other and claim to know what i think about it. your the one that should go back to school, and this time try to be sober in class for once.

You insult me for assuming yet do the exact same thing in the same sentence. You really are an ignoramus aren't you? I don't do any drugs or drink. I just realize how harmless they really are unlike you. You still haven't given a single reason why they "ruin lives". You're very dumb.
share[deleted]
Apparently you don't understand how making claims works. When you say something as stupid as an entire subject ruins your life when you obviously have no proof, it's your job to prove it right. Not our job to prove it wrong. How do you explain how something is NOT bad for you anyway without any points to counter?
share[deleted]
Drugs being bad for you was proven long ago. if you cannot comprehend that and claim they are not, its not really my fault. Im not really about to writea book explaining obviuos points so you could attemt to disclaim them.

You know absolutely nothing you corporate pig. Take your head out of the ass of normality. Open your eyes, not everything you hear from so called authorities is correct.
Drugs affect everyone differently, who are you to say they are wrong? Sure there are certain aspects of drugs such as addiction and dependence, but only to those who are weak. Perhaps you are a weak man. Perhaps your ignorance has shaded the line between right and wrong.
The way I see it, people like you are the ones that would truly benefit from a drug trip. It would be an awakening. You would see this brand new world. This distorted, amazing, beautiful world. You would begin to see even the most evil of things in a new light. You would gain some understanding, a new meaning to your sad and blank life. You would be able to renew your sense of belonging. Maybe you could understand that moderation is key in life. Drugs are no different in theory to eating. Or working out obsessively. Or drinking coffee. Or smoking. We all have our afflictions. Some can handle moderation, and others choose to consume in larger quantities, as they too have been enlightened by this amazing new world, and choose not to return to reality. Why can you judge these people. You should rather judge yourself. You need to open your eyes sir. You are ignorant. You are foolish. But you can still change.
Im sorry to attack you, but Im high. :)

You know what, you just inspire me to throw another bomb in this thread.
Psychedelics are in my honest opinion actually not drugs. It's two completely different things.

I agree.
I've watched this movie sober, high, drunk, high and drunk...but watching it on acid blew my mind. The visual art, expression, and script made a lot more sense lol.
let's be honest, there isn't any structured, logical philosophy in this movie...it's all a bunch of rambling that any freshman in college could come up with.
so yea, this movie on acid is better than anything your cookie-cutter lifestyle can produce.

I watched this while doing whippets.
I must have ran out 100 cans.
It was so deep.

and so you've proven my point about you. from your first entry in this thread you threw away any legitimate right to complain about people bringing the hate because you were openly asking for the hate. Yeah, there were a couple of barely-coherent marble-heads in here who just gave you ammunition for your argument, but even then, you couldn't avoid the need to let us know just how much better than whomever you believe yourself to be. Your failure is the failure to actually persuade anyone to see your side of this, i'd suggest that rather than enter into arguments where you are only entrenching the beliefs of your presumed opponents, you stick to your hobby of public-transit-centered self-love

This is about a year late but.. I feel like I needed to share my opinions regardless. First of all, LSD is not a drug in the sense that you uninformed few believe. It is a powerful, beautiful, mind altering (or awakening?) substance that can change your life in a positive way. LSD doesn't necessarily make you see a fake distorted reality, it helps you see your own personal truths through your minds eye. And to whomever said it "hurts your body", please do a bit of research before you make yourself look so clueless and ignorant. LSD causes less cellular damage than caffeine. Caffeine... now absorb that for a minute, and please explain to me what makes it so bad?
Of course, everything should be done in moderation. But a little LSD in your life isn't going to harm you as much as that big mac you ate for lunch.
I watched "Eraserhead" on Acid once... not a good experience.
Limit of the Willing Suspension of Disbelief: directly proportional to it's awesomeness.
This is how I watched it the first (and only) time I saw it, over ten years ago. I am reluctant to watch it again, because that was the last time I ever had any acid, due to moving to a new state and not making any friends here who are into psychedelics. (So, no connection to score it from.) My reluctance is because I know it won't be nearly as cool to watch straight and I was just so blown away by it at the time.

Yeah a few years ago my roommate and his boy were over...they were planning on dropping shrooms and didn't know what to do for the duration. Neither of them had seen the movie so I suggested it for them. Id already seen it several times, they later thanked me saying it was one of the best experienced theyve ever had. I was sober.
