um, you are 23...so half of your post is excusable based on that.

why would you encourage depressed people to use drugs?

at least put trigger/drugs/ or something in the title of your thread...consider you audience please.

People are quite capable of making their own decisions.

I've seen it twice, once for myself and then a second time bringing the tribe (siblings, neices etc.) with me, and I thought Burton did a briliant job with his vision...and well Johnny Depp..need I say more?

We had a blast minus any need for drugs, and believe me I know exactly what the experience would have felt like on them.

yeah, i get that.

its about respect.

depressed people do use drugs. Rx drugs is using drugs.

I do want to see Alice in Wonderland! I'm anxious to see what sort of spin Depp puts on the Mad Hatter character.

It's a trippy story even without drugs!

drugs used to stay healthy and drugs used for shits and giggles...harldly the same.

Depp did a fantastic job!!! So did the chick that played the Red Queen (forget her name)

Helena Bonham Carter! She was fantastic, that's Tim Burton's wife.

one could argue that the drugs you consider to be "keeping you healthy" may do just as much harm as good... but it's a futile debate.
Drugs used for shits and giggles are just that - shits and giggles... unless they actually begin to cause problems in a persons life. I hardly think that dicking around with mushrooms once or twice a year is going to cause much of a problem - hasn't so far! Neither has smoking pot on a regular basis. I'm still in university, still pulling A's and B's across the board, have healthy family relationships, and a healthy diet.
Whether or not "drugs" (by the way I hate applying that title to plants... but that's a whole different story) are a good thing or a bad thing depends entirely on the person using them. Some personalities have a much more difficult time balancing work and pleasure than others - these are the people who need to stay away from drugs, even the natural ones like pot and shrooms. Others - more "responsible" folks you might say - are quite capable of allowing these things to be a part of their life without f*cking everything us. I'd like to consider myself one of them.
Anyone here who might be influenced by this post ought to consider their personality and whether or not these types of things are healthy for them. I'd also add that people with thatkind of personality ought to stay away from or limit their use of TV, alcohol, and junk food.... these things can cause major detriment and the fact that they are highly socially acceptable makes them far more dangerous, in my view, than the herb.

I think that if you have to have blood drawn twice a year in order to make sure they are not ruining your liver or kidneys....those drugs are not too healthy....

not to mention the multitude of other side effects there are....

give me a plant to smoke and smile any day over THAT.

I haven't heard one decent review of the film by the critics. It's said to look quite shoddy in places and can be quite boring. I'm gutted.

Pass the shrooms.......it may help.

the storyline is pretty lame.... its the graphics and trippy shit and the acting that makes the movie awesome. it was made to be watched fucked up lol ... that's why they concentrated far more on effects than on storyline.

went to see it today with cait. i thought it was great :) ...but then i do adore johnny... :)

can't wait to see it! do you think it's too much for my 6 year old? she's a scaredy cat, big time.

I think it is a shame to use a single rating system for all movies. WTH, be honest about what you want in a movie. Some movies are fun because they have cool special effects but lame plot lines; if that is enough for a move (can anybody say Avatar?) then by all means go and have fun!

I have seen a couple movies that were rated very high by all the proper critics. I got bored out of my skull!

I suspect we will see this one at some point!
