I've seen it twice. The first time I saw it was like a week ago and the second last night

I think this movie is completely brilliant and can't wait to buy the DVD. It isn't only a movie about LD, but a movie about life and philosophies related to our existance. I really identify with the guy in the car, the man that sets himself ablaze and the four guys, lead by Adam Goldberg, that are talking about the destruction of society and meet up with the guy that climbed up the post. Those were my favorite segments, but it was all a great trip...

I met some one on the internet, we hung out and she mentioned the movie after I had told her about how I dream, we watched it and when she left that day I never saw or heard from her again.

It was a good flick, she didnt tell me what it was about really but I knew right away. The style it was done with was really neat too, a painting over a normal frame of film so you can take liberties with it now =D such a neat idea! Though I suppose thats what all the cgi effects are these days, its just an original low budget take on it that worked well =D

yeah top film. my mate told me about this one. seen it 3 times, (the third time stoned, which was kinda cool).
i love the guy talking about maths as a universal language for abstract thought, and all the theories about afterlife and the collective subconscious.

Also a great little tie-in with "before sunrise" for the Linklater fans.

**vividness** · 05-13-2004 08:16 PM

It was a cool movie I felt good after watching it. I think bout those issues lots.

**Truthbearer** · 05-14-2004 08:27 PM

Nice Page, vividness...

My favorite ones would be Alex Jones(guy with the loud speakers on his car) and the four guys led by adam goldberg...

Those are my views on the state of today's society as well...

Just watched that movie.
It's awesome!
Now I have to persuade my friends to actually watch it...

**Truthbearer** · 05-16-2004 03:33 AM

I think its easier to persuade someone to watch that movie and become interested in LD's, than to directly persuade them to try lucid dreaming...

**nerve** · 05-16-2004 06:33 PM

haha...sounds like a cult or something.

**Truthbearer** · 05-16-2004 08:03 PM

Yeah, when you put it the way I did it kind of does....

Anyway cults are cool so we should start one

Newbie Monkey(they are all named "monkey" nowadays): Hey, I would like to lucid dream. It seems like a fun activity!!!LOL!!!!

Truthbearer: Welcome to the cul...er...I mean club. Let us commence the welcome ritual:

*chants: LUCID! LUCID! LUCID! LUCID! LUCID! LUCID! LUCID! LUCID!*

Paperdoll EP: Now we shall brainwash you into liking muffins more than any other meal on earth!!!!

*chants: MUFFIN! MUFFIN! MUFFIN! MUFFIN! MUFFIN! MUFFIN! MUFFIN!*

Newbie Monkey: OMG, you guys!!! You are starting to scare me! Also what is the deal with the scary bunny and the evil eye lady??? They scare me too!!!!!
Lowercase Society:

Truthbearer: Everyone you know hates you. Your life has been nothing but crap. That is why you want to lucid dream. We are your only friends in the world. We will guide you to a spiritual awakening. You will visit this forum at least 5 times a day and shave your head!
Lowercase Society:

Kaniaz: This isn't a funny bit, could you please end this? I have microwaves that are funnier than you...

Truthbearer: Ok, ok...I was just bored...

~THE END~
