I am watching Altered States on AMC right now it's an interesting movie on a professor who participates with Mexican tribes taking amanita muscaria and having a nice trip. Anyone else seen this?

Supposedly it was partly based on John Lilly and Tim Leary. I haven't gotten a chance to see it, though it's on AMC right now, but it's like halfway through so I'm not going to throw it on now.

Yeah it's a cool movie, kinda makes me want to go find a sensory deprivation tank or something.

yeah, the movie starts out really great, but gets pretty silly towards the end. Still worth a watch though.

That is exactly what I thought. It gets weird and off track, but its good and well worth the watch in any event.

Is this the movie you're talking about? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080360/
If so, I fucking hated this movie. Admittedly, I think I watched it before I ever got into psychedelics, but I can remember thinking "omg, what a piece!" I think i've been spoiled with computer graphic technology.
Maybe if they remade it to the scale that King Kong got remade, I would like it.

i saw some of it on AMC and thought it wasnt all that great. it could have been a good movie but i think the technology avaialable at the time didnt do the movie justice.
id like to see a new big screen flick about psychedelics with all the computer animation and things we can do these days.
