No, you thought my theory was "interesting" but didn't agree. I suppose with that we can call it day.
No closer to resolution, but at least we had 1 nazi reference (dr. strangeglove) and now a swear word.
And seeing as I have 3X your post count, and a fairly positive rep, I wouldn't classify myself as "trollish". You might be a lurker though. Nice to have met you. You ought to check out the non audio threads sometime.

I would perhaps suggest a few more movies be seen while stoned; movies that might rate high on the "didn't get" meter. Let's see: Willy Wonka, Trainspotting, Brazil, Wayne's World, maybe even Dr. Strangelove.
And if weed isn't your thing you could approximate the effect with enough been and a little less pizza, I suppose. Of course, with weed, you'd probably want more pizza. Wait a minute, wasn't coke supposed to have a "better recipe", back in the day?

I guess this whole,'get/didn't get' thing is subjective with regards to what value you place on 'getting it'. I go to movies to be entertained. If I pick up on some special meaning, cool. But if it doesn't entertain me, figuring out any significant meaning would be too much like a homework assignment. Sure, not getting a movie doesn't make the movie stupid, it just means its not my cuppa joe, which I think was the not-so-hidden meaning of this thread.;)
Once again, I either like it or I don't. I don't need to 'get' the Saw movies. I don't need to 'get' Fargo, just like I don't need to 'get' Trout Mask Replica or Bitches Brew. I enjoyed the $8.00 I spent on Iron Man, and regret the $5.00 I spent on Pulp Fiction some 15 years ago (bringing John Revolta and his gigantic noggin back from career suicide...gee, thanks).
Art is as art does. Lets look at all those art movies and artsie CDs in our collections and then look at the escapist 'crap', and see which discs have more finger prints on them. That's gonna be a quick trip for me, as I think I own about 20 movies, and I really haven't watched a third of them more than once or twice. I guess my meaning of 'not getting' a movie is 'not getting the hype'...in other words, I was bored - I'd rather spend two hours sifting through articles in a stack of two year old magazines than sit through a boring movie. And the list of movies I liked, that I'd own and watch multiple times, is a short one. I guess I'm not much of a visual person - prolly why I own so many CDs and listen in two-channel stereo.

Funny it's #5 in the top 250 on IMDB.

Good points. I have to admit that I am about 80% on board, as most of my movie viewing is for "entertainment" purposes. I find that mostly with fiction/sci-fi/action films.
But when I see a good human interest/drama film I do tend to be a bit more introspective. Not every film I watch is for "entertainment".
And I do also agree with your points on CD's as well. But I do try to expand my tastes as well. If I only listened to music that I know I like, I would never have found some neat cd's that I now like.

Oh certainly...I've listened to Trout Mask and Bitches for example; enough to know I never need to hear them again. I don't even need to own pristine, near-to-untouched copies of them in my collection either ;)

Senseless ONLY to those who never, ever saw drive in movies in the early to mid 70's. I was stationed at Ft. Lenard Wood Missourii and seeing Tarantino's homage to "grindhouse" schlock 70's drive-ins, completel with bad previews and popcorn advertisements made me smile so hard my face almost broke. Seriously, check it out.
