It's an interesting film. |

I keep hearing good things about it. I might actually get round to seeing it at some point. |

It's ok. I love the surreal segments and the first half is brilliant, but when the whole metamorphosis thing kicks in, things get a little silly. Brilliant special effects for the time though. |

it's really interesting but the 15 minute monkey bit is really cringeworthy. Check out if you liked altered states. |

i liked the premise of the movie but parts of it are really dated to me now. it got me interested in finding more out about Lily and eventually trying my own isolation tank experience which was pretty amazing. I recommend anyone who has any interest in psychedelic meditative or dream like experience to try it. |

Do you like Robert Anton Wilson et al? |

For guys who like lilly, wilson, mckenna - hell, even castaneda - this film is quite interesting, but it joins the dubious rank of Communion and Close Encounters for making its subject matter appear ridiculous by way of dramatic license. Still, I would recommend it. |

i will pick up the torch, but i need a better psychedelic drug supply to do it properly. where can i buy 'research chemicals' online now adays? japan? marlowe: re: Robert Anton Wilson i actually havent checked out any of his stuff, and the reason being i was told to avoid it because i had a stint in a mental hospital once and when i described my experience to people at least 2 of them said 'wow that sounds exactly like the illuminatis trilogy' and because of that i have been scared to read it in fear of having some kind of psychological relapse |

This is one of my favorite films. My dad had me hooked on in since I was 5, way before I could even understand what was going on. Awhile ago I made a music video to it. |

i like how in the movie its an unspecified drug. they imply thew brew might be partially amanita muscaria, but nothing is confirmed. someone needs to make an actual biopic about john lily's life. altered states is very loosely based on him. but the actual man had a very interesting life, was one of the first people to try and study dolphin human communication. He started trying to communicate with dolphins while in an isolation tank thinking this would put him on a more equal state with them. At the time he was also experimenting with psychedelics in conjunction with these studies, sometimes simoltaneously (tank + lsd + trying to talk to dolphins). It's hard to tell at one point he went off the deep end, because even his early work is very far out. later in his life he became interested in Ketamine and became a full blown addict, rarely interviewed or seen in public life while not being nder the influence of it. he had a lot of celeb friends and even once addressed the United Nations |

On this day in 1943 – Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann discovered the psychedelic effects of the semi-synthetic drug LSD. |

yea, it's a fine line between ill-umination and mental ill-ness. the current state of psychology and psychiatry is very crude, the same as it is with dentistry, that's why experiences with both can be humiliating and painful but still, at best, helpful. actually cosmic trigger could be a better, saner way to start reading Wilson, since it's non-fiction and autobiographical. marlowe: Hofmann, incidentally, is 102 and living well. |

I love his Cosmis Trigger books... you don't really need to read the Illuminatus! Trilogy or the Schrodinger's Cat Trilogy. I didn't know Hofmann as still alive.. pretty cool :] |
