so... took the wife to see this Saturday.
BAD MOVE.
The movie itself was pretty good Joaquin Phoenix is hilarious, and there are a lot of surreal and crazy scenes. His character shares a lot of similarities with The Dude, so if you liked the Big Lebowski, you'd probably like this as well. though, of all the crazed, surreal, drug movies I've seen, this one is the most intense, and far out there. few of the characters have any redeeming qualities, making them pretty unsympathetic, which didn't help things (see below).
it was not a very good date movie... I knew one of the themes of the novel was to parody the sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll of the 60's, but this was a lot more over-the-top and darker than I expected.
My wife actually got so pissed off, she stood up and stormed out (after a particularly sexual & dark scene featuring extended full-frontal nudity of Katherine Waterston...), and so I missed the last 20 minutes or so... I don't know how it ends. and I'm still in the dog house.
