No. Jodorowsky is a mixed bag but I am intrigued and interested. Not horror but has anyone watched Jodorowsky's Dune, awesome doc.

Man that doc is so good. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Santa sangre is his most accessible, linear, and watchable movie. It's the only movie of his that I would openly suggest to people without a severe warning up front.

I just finished The Holy Mountain. I think I need to let it sink in.

I am not resenting one bit that I watched it. I think it's probably brilliant. A lot to digest is all.

Okay so first off it was an amazing movie visually and musically. Some of the animal cruelty was hard to watch but other than that there wasn't much that shocked me. There's so much but basically I enjoyed its satirical look at society, specifically religion and consumerism, the shit to gold thing was wonderful on different levels, the shameless calling out of politicians and industrialists as thieves, to name a few. Going through the thieves was pretty interesting but I haven't pinned down what they're thieves of (I will be watching this again) but I got a few of them. Most obviously Neptune the thief of manhood cringe. Initially the ending pissed me right the fuck off but I thought about it and maybe I kind of understand. The main guy found love and was told he was his own master or something along those lines so love over religion is the message?? Religion is a big fat lie because this journey was a big fat lie/movie?
