[NEON MERCURY]

i saw thsi at blockbuste for sale [$4.99 vhs] and having seen the films poster, hearign good word of mouth, seeing straw dogs, and reading "a strange, wierd masterpiece" on the back of the box from ebert...i made the blind buy purchase....and damn, its easily one of the best films i have ever seen...when watching it...it seemed so far ahead of its time...like, if it came out now people; would be saying its the hippest shit out there...i am at a lost for words [it sort of reminded me of a more talent ed and artful tarantino]..but its surreal and times...and its..its....um, ITS JUST SO FUCKING COOL!!!...and there are lost of tits..the lead actress is gorgeous..and did an incredible job........i want some of you people to tell me what you thought of it.....and if you havent seen it, you havem y approval..

'Garcia' gets bonus points for having a scene where Warren Oates pours booze on his crotch to kill crabs.  Glorious.
