Star Wars

Went to the movie with my two Jew Buds

B. and L., I Max theatre in Cuernavaca.

After we bought tickets for the next show 

in two hours, we took a chance and walked

into the first restaurant we came to, Chinese

in menu, and had a really nice meal. Before

I ate, I took some Ecstasy, and had some 

quite decent ribs...L. too...B went for the 

chicken. B. and I went outside before the 

movie, where he got stoned and I was just

coming on after the ribs. L. was the straight

man. We sat down for the movie and had to 

endure damned commercials too long...but

B. dug them. Then there were four previews

of new movies, all based on comic books. 

I kept leaning over to B. with the comment 

"small screen", because they were just too 

much. The movie started and then I'm not 

sure what happened. I have lazy eye and 

am used to seeing reality in 2-D, but we had

these 3-D glasses, which I put over my glasses,

which were a little difficult to manipulate, and,

because the action was so fast and furious

and f'ing HUGE, it was all a bit overwhelming.

The film was well wrought, with usual plot

predictability, but seeing some of the original

characters back in action after 30 years was

entertaining. It seems like ecstasy is not a

great drug to watch a movie on. I felt mellow

for sure...but B. was giggling his ass off in

stoned goofiness, so, he seemed to have the

best time  L. kept nudging me from time to time

to accent the action, but I never could be sure 

what he was referring to. For me, the drug was 

somewhat wasted in the context. But we all felt 

very amenable, and got home just fine, but I 

probably would have had a much better time just

sitting around with the dudes and talking. It was 

the first movie I'd seen on the big screen in a long 

time and I  Max, no less. I know the movies these 

days just seem to get intenser and intenser and 

have to be, I guess, for the public's jadedness 

factor, but, for me, it was just a bit too much.
