Never seen it......sober. And it's been a long time since I saw it ........not sober.....so I'm not sure I remember it too well.

I've never read the novel though, so maybe I should do that before attempting to watch it again.

I'm think'n LSD was-a-plenty on the set and in the editing room.

I'd like to see it redone because I liked the basic plot. The way this one was done... it was like 8 different directors worked on it at separate locations, and then they hired chimps to edit it.

There was apparently a made for TV version in the 80's as well.

I dont think i've seen it, and i've seen alot of movies. I'll put it in my netfilx cue.

I do like the song. Bowies original and Nirvana's cover.
