I never enjoyed watching movies on acid. It always felt like what I was watching was so contrived and superficial. Movies are contrived and superficial, but that's the way I like them; I don't like to have that bubble burst. Watching Silence of the Lambs--one of my favorites--on acid made me hate it for a short while, because I couldn't take Lecter seriously. I remember going to the movies to see the re-release of Empire Strikes Back in the 90s. That was awesome, because we had to walk a mile in the snow to get there and then the movie opens on the ice planet Hoth, which made it really surreal. That was the exception, however.

My response was completely tongue in cheek. However, I too have attempted to watch a movie while tripping and they always felt like cartoon soap operas to me. Also, I could never shake the feeling that I was waisting something precious on something trite. Your Empire story sounds amazing though. I remember tripping out by my grandparents house in the middle of nowhere Michigan, in the middle of the winter wondering how I had gone my whole life not realizing they had a lake next to there house. -turns out it was just really hard-packed and icy snow in a field. Exploring that "lake" was far more exciting than any movie ever could be.
