In the same 24 hour period, I happened to watch Trainspotting and Spun on DVD, and start reading William Burroughs' Junky. I was contemplating this coincidence while listening to the last track on Velvet Underground's live album 1969 (Volume 1) for the second time in a row. The track? Heroin. Is my subconscious trying to tell me where to find true happiness and fulfillment? Probably.
Anyway, I recommend everything mentioned in this post, except heroin.

Favourite line:
"You can all go take a walk!"
Or maybe:
"It's my wife and it's my life!"
ha, you should see requiem for a dream. Jennifer Connley and Jay Leto, in a pretty sick film, but it's uber ... I promise. You even get to see THE ARM.

Johnny Depp keeps it real in "Blow".
And then of course there's always "Half Baked" for the mary jane fans.
Yeah, I like Aronofsky and Requiem for a Dream. Haven't seen Blow though. For some reason I got the impression that it sucked (then again, I thought Spun would suck too, but was plesantly surprised).
Feel free to recommend other drug flicks. Is 21 Grams worth a look?
