A Movie About Drug Addiction.......... .


I LOVE Brain Damage.....This is a great little movie.
It certainly hammers home the whole idea of a monster
personified as a drug.
When I first saw this movie-with my idiot roommate-he
ranted about how much this movie sucked. 3 Months later
he became a coke addict. So now I know his opinion does
not have a lot of value.
Almost bought this new for 35 dollars. Then 2 years later
I saw it used for 5 dollars and snatched it up.
A highly under-rated movie people.
Cheers.

you wouldnt do anything because youre too retarded to put a scentence together you dumb yank. i feel sory for your kid. but then you really shouldnt get your sister pregnant in the first place you pathetic waste of sperm.

im sure when your child becomes a crack addicted paranoid wreck masturbating ovr all the women he killed in his own faeces he will thank you for such a pleasant upbringing.

thats if you dont feed it bleach by mistake you dumb sh!t.

youre not a teenager youre a child. and while i sit here with a tool album on (i know youre prolly a juggalo you retard) and a joint of good afghan (oooooh you yanks dont like that word) bud im laughing my arse off at you. many reasons really.

1) you just admitted over the internet you will never be a parent. mainly cuz you cant get it up without a gun in your hand.

2) youre prolly so ugly you cant- andnever will- find a girl retarded enough to be SEEN with you, nevermind have your child.

3) you would be repeatedy raped in prison by men who are a loot bigger than you.

4) your chosen duties as an adult will be asking that fat guy if he wants fries with that? as you slowly begin to contemplate- once again- taking to that water tower with a sniper rifle to shoot women you can never have. that is because by this time you will be wondering why youre still a virgin at thirty (heres a clue, its cuz you look like god stopped caring, you have the personality of a retarded goldfish and you permanently smell of mcdonalds)

5) and heres the kicker monkeyboy! if- god forbid- you ever manage to grow up and you DO actually drink a beer or smoke a joint you will realise its not such a bad thing. thats when every ideal you have will slaowly begin to fade away. as it dawns on you that yo are completely wretched and the onlycourse of action you have left is to turn one of your guns (who all have girls names and are used by you as masturbatory aids) on yourself. leaving a world which never cared about you in the first place to get on with it. without the burden of your idiotic heston-esque ramblings.

see im kinda elouquent seeing as im a drug addled idiot with no prospects in life, not to mention being engaged and owning my own house and car. we have a dog too, hes great. im only 24 too, makes you sick doesnt it?

hmmm im scum.... ok then. well first of all the personal attacks were started by you saying you would kill anyone who took drugs. that includes my girlfriend. pretty *beep* personal if you ask me.

secondly if your dream job is working in a convinience store you would have to deal with people like me every day. people who laugh at you and see you as the pathetic little sh!t that you are.

youre not the punisher, you never will be. even if your entire family was wiped out (which i have to say would be tragic) then you still wouldnt have the nuts to do anything about it. youre a victim and you always will be.

one day you will grow up and see just how childish you are.

Juggalos with intelligence. That's an oxymoron.

I am in the UK and have several friends who take drugs. All of them are unemployed and live in poor quality housing. This is Devon I am talking about. Maybe in more civilised parts it's different. :)

Dude, you need to look within yourself and fight that urge that tells you to act like some billy bad-ass that has the key to the universe. The reason Dain Bramage affected you so much is because you are an addict yourself. Your obsessed with throwing back horror quotes that you think are so prolific. Your writing makes me feel as if you could be on the news as someone who goes berserk somewhere. I hope I live nowhere near you.

As for "Brain Damage" I first saw it in Pittsburgh as a friend opened a video store exclusively for horror and hard to find titles www.incrediblystrangevideo.com

I used to do a lot of junk and i loved the movie back in the day. It was trippy.

ISCREAM22 HAS SPOKEN!!

CharlesVariations, you are by all accounts a terrorist extremist. You would rather kill all the people that don't agree with you (even your own son) than let people make their own choices. A LOT of people take drugs and have no adverse effects. Unfortunately if an *beep* takes drugs, then they usually become more of an *beep* It is this reason that I recommend you to NEVER drink alcohol or take and kind of drug. Especially when you're "overage". Thats like 21 or something in the USA?

You guys are *beep* *beep* who judge drug addicts.

reply

One thing I have observed about many drug addicts is that they are never slow to judge others or call them -beep-beeps! LOL!

reply

CharlesVariations.....

U seriously need help.
If not for ur own sake than for ur future kids sake.
Or maybe ur just *beep* for life.
Reading ur posts makes me frustrated that
there still lives so narrow minded *beep* like u in the world..

reply

[deleted]

I'm guessing you don't know anyone who's ever even encountered a drug before "CharlesVariations".... anyway, I don't want to get into the bickering - just thought I'd post about the film...

Watching it as I speak, and I gotta say: THIS IS AWESOME!!!

Hahaha, so trippy - actually, the films probably an incentive not to do drugs I mean... well just watch it lol..

Anyway, I'm gonna carry on watching (only 40mins in!!!)

i just spent like 20 minutes reading this thread. whoa. you actually spent the time to write that *beep* and reply? your in totally different countries and have no impact whatsoever on each other so, why bother the rant?
i agree with the 24 yr old, drugs are here to stay BUT theyre not for everyone.
charlesVariations, you need to stop taking a black and white view of the world. some of the funniest people and some of the most historic people were addicts of some sort. if u want to be angry at someone for these drugs fiends, why dont you blame the government of the united states for importing cocaine and distributing it to dealers to make crack. you probable need to wake up and help your drug addicted brother as having a family member addicted to a drug can have detrimental effects on the extended family, not just the immediate. whether or not hes got a needle hanging outta his arm or whateva, he needs to be educated and convinced that drugs are not the best outlet or coverup for many of lifes problems whether the problems be deep issues or just plain boredom.

the movie:
i saw it when i was pretty young, about 7 or 8 yrs old and it is a very trippy movie with a feeling like this guy either loved drugs or hated them, depending on how you took it (pun intended). comedy/horrors are the best mix, just right for the girlfriend and alcohol mix, maybe even some mary j.
the seppo would be laughed at if you came down here (AUS), i know 11yr olds who could drink him under the table.


do you drink coffee or tea? ever get a headache?
you know what im pointing out

It's more a satire of the constant barrage of anti-drugs propaganda that the Reagan administration put out (yet ironically closed a lot of mental health hospitals) and making everything seem far more melodramatic than it actually was!
