I just watched Strange Days for the first time since it was released yesterday, I didn't realize how seriously POWERFUL it was. Angela Bassett is an astonishing actress.

I suspect this will get heaps of ILXor eyeballs/scorn, eventually:
Film Forum is pleased to present the US theatrical premiere of Brooklyn writer-director Shaka King’s debut feature, a romantic comedy of New Yorkers, NEWLYWEEDS, beginning Wednesday, September 18. The story of a hip young couple trying to keep their lives and relationship together while sharing a voracious appetite for cannabis, the film feels like no other stoner comedy. Set in Bed-Stuy, it follows Lyle (Amari Cheatom) as he spends days reclaiming property for Manny’s Rent-to-Own, and nights with the lovely, exotically-attired Nina (Trae Harris), a tour guide for the Brooklyn Children’s Museum. Their grass habit stokes an hallucinatory safe zone for them to dream of grander lives, but also provokes a series of wacky mishaps and questionable choices. Neither an endorsement nor a condemnation of marijuana, NEWLYWEEDS plays like a Spike Lee and “Louie” mashup — a subtle, nuanced and often endearingly funny depiction of struggling urban coupledom.

Can't find mention of the following: Cisco Pike (more about dealing than taking), Dealing: Or the Berkeley-to-Boston Forty-Brick Lost-Bag Blues (ditto), Born to Win (saw it long ago--pretty good? can't remember), Clean (good Nick Nolte performance). Also, I'm Dancing as Fast as I Can. Never seen it.

not title-specific as meant, but the best thread to put this in -- J Hoberman writes the ultimate ILX film column.

I assumed Fear & Loathing was aimed at people would rather watch movies about taking acid than actually doing it (note: I have not taken acid).
