you might want to see 'Spun'. a movie a about crystal meth addicts. It's very similar in both style and content.

i've seen what crystal meth can do to people and it aint pretty. now i'm curious as to how RFAD is anywhere near related to a drug addict on meth

ive seen both, im so damn bored with drug movies of all kinds but Spun is not jsut a drug movie, it's pure eye and ear candy imo.
Jonas makes nice stuff and it's really nice to see him making a long movie.
U seen that Smashing pumkins video (Cant recall name) he did ? its really damn wicked and "disturbing"

the only videos i can think of are 1979, bulletholes in butterfly wings, tonight (i think thats what its called), and the one where they're driving down in the middle of nowhere in an ice cream truck, which i think was Day of Eleanor

Requiem for a Dream was the most powerful movie. Extremely beautiful and depressing at the same time. So i must check out this movie Spun, ive heard about it but ill go rent it in the next few days. Thanks!

I've seen all three referenced, and they're all great. Spun is my least favorite, though the ending blew my mind.

re smashing pumpkins convo -
oh dear.. no all the aforementioned SP vids were done by the band themselves. This guy (swedish or something isn't he?) was "Try Try Try" from the Machina album.
will have to look into this spun one, sound interesting.

I don't like Requiem For A Dream...so if this other film is also stylised nonsense masking the thinnest of plots I will give it a miss. :P

requiem for a dream - why when they do the shots they show there pupils dilating instead of contracting

Some drugs do the dilate, some do the contract...
Inject speed, coke etc...& the eyes go big...
On H or other opiates the eyes get tiny...
It's only recently I've been able to re-watch RFAD a few times - been far too close to home previously....

Thats why i mentioned it .. they are supposedly on heroin in the movie ...
Unless they were mixing coke with every shot , which i doubt - hence the discrepancy
On the dvd , the outtakes of Hubert Selby riding marlon in the jail are priceless

The drug use seemed fairly varied...
Smack, yeah....but a lot of coke as well...
And maybe some crystalm...
How Ellen Burstyn missed the oscar for that performance still astounds me....

the short film version of try, try, try which appears on the smashing pumpkins videos dvd seems to be a precursor to spun, the movie. similarly disturbing

I agre about Ellen Burstyn, her performance was amasing, and for them to give the Oscar to Julia Roberts instead was an insult.
