    I watched this movie with my girlfriend tripping balls on wicked good acid.

    It fucked me up for a good long while. 17/10 definitely don’t recommend but it was a good weird time.

    It also does Baudrillard better than the movie that used his book as a prop. When Morpheus says “welcome to the desert of the real,” the end of this movie is what that term actually means.
