Anyone else notice that they changed the name of Dimethyltryptamine to Dimethylphosphate or something of that origin. I guess because real DMT doesnt makes you see through the eyes of your dead ancestors. I still think its really strange that they still called it DMT, though, yet it is nothing like a true DMT experience (which is all consuming and 5 minutes long), with all these related pineal gland and third eye references (as if it really is referring to Dimethyltryptamine)
shareAlso later they just refer to it as Dimethyltryptamine but earlier when it's written out, I believe its something like Dimethyltriphosphate. Anyway, the effects are also ridiculously exaggerated. This movie is more outlandish to DMT than Shrooms is to psychedelic mushrooms
shareThat's what pi$$ed me off most about this film too, besides Billy Zane's atrocious acting. If you were to touch DMT with just your finger, it's not going to pass the blood-brain barrier as smoking or even snuffing it would. Add to the fact that one "dose" would not give you repetitive hallucinations for the rest of your life.... the script writers here were quite lazy and/or uninformed.
Just sayin'...
Electric -- agreed. I thought, wow, if Zane had all those hallucinations up to weeks after touching the "sacred powder", then imagine what the Terrell guy went through completely covered in it!
