I thought the lesbians at the beginning would be a turn on, but it just wasn't sexy enough.

I thought my ideas were so clear. I wanted to make an honest post. No lies whatsoever.

the scene was a symbolic rebirth of the trickster - to show that his human imperfections are, when viewed in the right way, valuable as they are.

I watched jadorwoski's dune and i was not expecting to see 7 year old dick so that was a surprise. The dude himself seems great but i don't think you could pay me to watch his films.

it's a great film for simultaneously indulging one's interests in the occult and midget/amputee/scat fetishes.

good film A+. Jodorowski is a trip.

I don't know how anyone could be watching the scene where the frogs in a tiny diorama wearing Aztecs outfits have a war with each other and then explode and not be laughing hysterically. Great movie. I saw it a long time ago that's pretty much all I remember about it.

4/5. Loses a point for making me watch cows gently caress over a lady while she bathes in their jizz. Could've done without that part.

I watched A Colt is my Passport last night and all in all I have to say it's a way better movie then The Holy Mountain.

I enjoyed watching a documentary about how ambitious his vision was and how it didn't get made a lot more than I would have enjoyed actually watching his version of Dune.

What if we're currently living in the reality where several excellent movies never got made because Holy Mountain actually happened? I want to see the the world where Holy Mountain never got made and we got two good movies instead.

It never stops.

Jodorowsky breaks EVERYTHING down on the commentary track and it all makes sense.

So don't listen to the commentary.

EDIT: absolutely everyone is on mushrooms during the death/rebirth scene. Fun fact.

There is some very sensual touching going on in the cutscene there. i don't actually think it means anything sexual but it's cool how it contrasts with modern ideas of what bad ass stuff should be like. It even seems authentic to some kind of chivalric masculine touching from a tyme longe gone
