    Although the outside bocks and title of the movie sounds like fun I would advise no one to watch this movie.

    schwahead,

    I bought the DVD and I loved it.

    I thought director Ken Russell really hit gold with this movie.

    William Hurt, Blair Brown, and Charles Haid were at their best. and Bob Balaban (what ever happend to him) was great.

    Probably one of the greatest movies of all time.

    Isolation chambers are your friend...unless de-evolution is not your goal...heh heh.

    I liked this one, though it was fairly heavily fictionalised from the real-life experiences of John C. Lilly upon which it was based. Go in a float tank sometime, it's an interesting experience! :)

    Indeed. Mr. Lilly's book "The Scientist" is an essential.

    I was amazed when I read that he found a way to trigger orgasm by planting electrodes in primate's brains, then training them to press a button to trigger it...

    I admire his genius...
