What are you reading / best stoner flicks?

[robinlandseadel at comcast.net]

Well, if your're gonna get medieval on my ass—1972, my high school science fiction class, for some weird reason, plays a 16 mm short entitled "Omega" consisting of solarized slow pans of what appeared to be psychedelisized hippies in pastoral settings (also rendered into a vivid visionary state due to the false color registration of the extra-special effects provided by the solarization) all set to Vaughan-Williams' "Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis"[the whole piece—no editing, no fucking around with it] and devoid of dialog or foley. I happened to be well prepared for both unannounced viewings offered up by my high school a/v department.
Also should mention "Sam Who?", a short (7-10 minute) short, starting off in spaghetti western mode, shot in some absurd—4:1?—aspect ratio and devolving into some hideous cooking and eating scenes (lots of really loud, obnoxious foley in that baby), also prepared like an eagle scout, also unnanounced, back in the early days of rep theaters with $2 double bills of subtitled foriegn imports and a fine blue haze hovering over an appreciative audience.
Prospero's Books can get you there on the natch, but I've never dared enter altered . . .
