The telepathic conversation

The telepathic conversation from Naked Lunch, with Ian Holm and Peter Weller.

The directors cut for Oppenheimer looks wild

[@baldbeardedbassist]

Peter Weller acted his fucking face off in this movie and this is the hill I will die on.

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

Oh yeah. Especially that scene at the bazaar, after seeing the centipedes. He just turns to the camera and goes supernova *out of nowhere* , going into crying and then immediately coming back to normal. I was so annihilated by that.

[@goji9000]

@@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253I think of that scene each time the subject of Peter Weller comes up. It’s very moving.

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

@@goji9000 I have to contextualize - I was in a middle of an LSD trip at a time of watching "Naked Lunch". Re-watching it, in fact. Wanted to break my mind a little. And then that scene happens and I was like *"This is ULTRA weird, because up to this point literally everything made sense to me, but this... I have no fucking clue why, how or what I just witnessed."* Retrospectively I got to say that MAYBE it's him getting emotional over finding a drug ? I'm incredibly boring when not under substances, so I guess I'm completely wrong on that one.

Somehow I can't help but see Bilbo Baggins talking to Robocop as I watch this scene.

It could be weirder. You could be seeing Napoleon talk to Buckaroo Banzai.

[@Javithegothi2.5.90]

I once watched this movie while high on LSD to feel and see its effects and this scene stuck the most out, when he starts telling him their talking telepathically you can feel the room stop of all energy, your heart beats fast and you start to sweat. Your insides start to bulid up and it becomes hard to breathe. You cant break your eyes away no matter how hard you try. The pink glow around him builds and builds until you feel intense like the conversation and suddenly it all stops when the conversation returns to normal, you sigh a sigh of relief just as Bill does because you felt the exact same way he did.

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

Dude. What. The fuck. If you really made this post a year ago then you were basically writing it near to the days *I did the same* during !!! Although you know what stuck with me the most ? That simple talk in a cafeteria, of those friends of his, about rewriting/recensoring thoughts ? For some reason it made me laugh like a maniac, because both points of view make perfect sense and there is no consensus.

[@dabunnyrabbit2620]

gorgeous movie. and it goes for it with no apologies. art is never safe, nor should it be.

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

Absolutely. But let’s be clear - the book is absolutely impossible to *actually* adapt into a film. It’d be the most obscene and incomprehensible film in existence… “Green Elephant” and “Pink Flamingo” would feel like children’s cartoons in comparison.

I've found this movie to be a reliable and valid test for creativity. If a person says they enjoyed it they are usually very high in trait Openness.

@I want You to know lying to themselves and others it's a fucking movie. If you say you like it then you do there's not some social pressure to like it get a life dipshit

i truly wanted to like it, but was bored/disgusted through the whole thing

[@zufgh]

@@lowserver2 I agree. I want to give it another try in maybe a few months, because I did like the weird vibes this film had going for it. I'm a fan of both Cronenberg and Burroughs' respective works, but this film didn't do much for me. At least not on this first viewing. As with you, I was mainly bored with it. I've never before seen a film simultaneously so weird and yet so dull at the same time.

Can someone tell me what Tom Frost is "really" saying, from the point when he tells Bill to watch his lips?

[@martenselabs3212]

While I am curious, what Tom Frost says is ultimately irrelevant because the focus is on Bill Lee.
