# hahahahahahaha, excellent
I actually enjoyed it. I've been sleep walking for years and I could relate to how reality and dreams merge sometimes and feck with your mind.

# i'm seeing a lot of love for this film
would it be improved by being off my chops whilst watching it? i only ask for scientific purposes, of course

# Mildly, not totally.
It's a film which requires some pondering. One thing I love about it is that every time I watch it, I can see a different possible interpretation of what happened.

I think that's why I prefer the original to the director's cut, Richard Kelly had this whole backstory which he included more of in his later version, but I think it detracts from the joy of working out your own version of events.

# Go with the original, not the director's cut
which is substantially worse.

# Well worth watching, imo
I didn't expect to like it and it really took me by surprise.
