Sometime in the last 5 years, I watched The Fifth Element (1997) while high on THC.

I distinctly recall seeing it in the theater with a bunch of guys, one of whom vehemently hated it.

THC often makes it harder for me to "suspend belief," and amplifies my noticing of individual filmmaking choices.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure my friend in 1997 was just high, because that movie is a mess and I never noticed it until seeing it high.

@nyquildotorg I usually think of THC as the drug that lets you overlook the flaws in music, but you're right. I recall at least 3 movies in the last 5 years that I've seen on THC and thought "Wait, this movie is really broken and/or inconsistent to the point that it's very distracting" that I had always just glossed over before. Fifth Element is definitely one of those movies, although now I see it as more a set of comedy setpieces and less a "movie".

@nyquildotorg no way. That movie belongs in a museum. A masterpiece.

@onelson weirdly, after watching Home Alone (1990) high a couple years ago, I have a much greater respect for it. It's really well done and I never noticed it before.

@nyquildotorg do you take "high movie viewing" requests?

nyquildotorg,
@nyquildotorg@fedia.social avatar

@onelson oh man. That's an idea. The problem is that it ruins them a not-insignificant amount of the time.

@nyquildotorg what if the movie probably didn't even matter to you otherwise?

nyquildotorg,

@onelson hm. Maybe I'll try it

@nyquildotorg Well, my request, should you choose to accept it, is What Women Want (2000).

If you can get past the fact it stars an incredibly awful person, I'd like to know how it lands, high.

@onelson oh come on, Helen Hunt isn't that bad.... (Kidding)
