I'm watching Naked Lunch for the first time

[HeeBGBz]

I bought it for $2. I remembered someone told me I should watch it.

1. That is a trippy movie

Look for the part where the older dude is speaking to the younger dude about reality.

Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

6. I am

Wish someone was with me.

[Jack Rabbit]

2. Just read the book

It's a lot better.

[Up2Late]

3. Just remember, it's ALL TRUE

at least it felt true at the time.

But, most likely it was just the Drugs the author was taking at the time.

I really like the part where.......not gonna do it

[Lautremont]

4. The movie is great.

Comparing it to the book is absolutely pointless, because it's not the book. It's its own animal, weaving bits from the book, bits from other Burroughs books and bits from his life together with a great Howard Shore / Ornette Coleman score and a transvestite Roy Scheider.

Enjoy!

On edit: I bought the Criterion double-disc edition I love it so much, and let me tell you, it was more than two bucks.

8. Strange symbolism

Once you grasp that, it helps the flow of the movie.

5. Ick! A talking cockroach rectum!

Geez, what kind of friends do I have anyway?

[HeeBGBz]

7. Whoa. I'm obviously not stoned enough

To understand what the hell is going on.

How twistedly bizarre.

[NightTrain]

9. It has almost nothing to do with the book.

The credits should have read, "Based on the life and writings of William S. Burroughs."
