- I disagree. First, I think you'd have to be neurotic to watch Blue Velvet, so
- we seem to have exact opposite opinions. One evening last Fall, I dropped two
- hits and spent the first part of the evening re-reading Tao Te Ching (while
- waiting for it to come on.) Then I watched Koyaaniqatsi and afterwards had
- one of the most joyous feelings of my life. Spontaneous outbursts of energy
- with dancing, singing then quiet meditation. Incredibly powerful evening.
-
- I have a number of philosophical blatherings about why I found the movie so
- powerful, but I'll save those for another time and another newsgroup.
-
- Think Peace.
