Used to rent that movie all the time from the local movie rental place. Had a friend that loved X and all that jazz, told him about it and he stole it. Haven't watched it since. Probably the late 90's. He ended up taking too many drugs an going mad. I think he went Schizophrenia on us too. Ended up in crazy homes and hospitals. Kinda like Syd Barrett. Don't do drugs, kids. At least not much of the hard drugs.
