i think this post reveals your drinker vs. stoner bias. while i do agree that the action part could've been shorter, i especially loved meryl/susan's discovery of the enigma of the dial tone. one thing the action part had to it's credit was delivering on the primal alligator fear that i felt looming throughout the film. i think my fave acid-trip on film has got to be in Performance. that movie featured Mick Jagger's androgynous sex appeal to such great effect that i can (almost) understand why anyone still wants to fuck him. and while i have a special place in my heart for drugstore cowboy, i guess my line between heroin & LSD is a tad thicker than yours. imagine that!
