Scenes From Blue Acid City

Blackness, sound of bong rip, fade in:

Stoned Woman in Red) Do you think Baudelaire ever wrote about extra terrestrials?

Stoned Woman in White ) (annoyed) Charles Baudelaire didn’t write about aliens.

Stoned Woman in Red) I know, but he smoked hash, I think he should have tried smoking through an Alien Bong,

Stoned Woman Behind Couch)I guess………maybe…….

maybe he might not have found hashish as ‘troubling’.

or such a ‘chaotic demon’ if he had smoked it through an alien bong.
(get's up and goes to window...continues talking)

I think that by placing an absolutely alien object at the center…

where you actually consume the hash….

That would have tempered the suspension of his smoking and knowing subject.


Stoned Woman in Red) His alienated self would have a external substitute … in his field of vision.

Stoned Woman in White) (annoyed) well I don't know..... I never had that problem.

Dark Star

Here's a scene from John Carpenter's Dark Star where a crew member defuses a bomb using phenomenology.

Phenomenology as defined by Edmund Husserl is 'the reflective study of the essence of consciousness as experienced from the first-person point of view.'
But, I think the clip from dark star sums it up much better.

It was explored with increasing intensity by thinkers of the twentieth century, I think partly because of development of photography, sound recording and cinema, which are all types of disembodied sensory data.

Anybody who's thinking about being in my movie(you know who you are) this scene is kind of what I'm going for.
