I went to see Jesus' Son with Andrew and Nikki at the Bijou (Chattanooga) last night. Dan and I saw it when I was out visiting a couple months ago. We joked that there was no way it would ever show in Chattanooga. Surpise!
I was much better the second time. I'm not sure why it seemed so uninteresting the first time - I think I just didn't quite get into the humor. It's a Drugstore Cowboy sort of movie - glorfying drugs and stupid people. Not that drugs or stupid people are inherently bad - they just don't mix well.

Perhaps I'm over-qualified to comment because I sell drugs to stupid people all day, but yes, they do mix. They mix them with alcohol, weed, and anything else they can grab and gobble.
Seriously, I enjoyed the movie. However, it was remarkably funnier than I recall life being when I hung out with junkies.
As for the response of Chattanooga, the couple in front of us as we left remarked, "Well, they can't all be art movies, I guess" and the guy selling popcorn had heard "the movie makes fun of cool people, right?" Sigh... it's my home... it's my home.... it's my home....
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
