Amazing film...

I've had this film for around a year but I never watched it due to its supposed difficulty...After finishing the book "Stargazer: Andy Warhol's films", I decided to try the film. The first few minutes I was bored and confused, but after 5 minutes I could not take my eyes of the screen for the next 3.5 hours, I was totally amazed...what sad, desperate, fame craving characters...what facinating stories they tell in front of Warhol's silent gaze...One reviewer on the IMDb in his 10/10 star review said: "A film impossible to describe - if I wrote 1000 words I'd not get any closer." this is very true...If you have a chance to view this masterpiece of cinema, take it...you will not forget the experience.

I love this film, I live in Pittsburgh and i just really got into warhol this past summer. Since Pittsburgh is where Andy is from I got to see this film at the Andy Warhol Museum in the screening room. The man working the projector said that me and my friend were the second group of people in the nine years hes screened that film in the museum to sit through the entire film. At one point it became a game to see how long everyone else lasted. I think most people stayed for about 5 minutes and one group actually managed 15.

I really, REALLY want to visit that museum, to see some of his other amazing works. I have only seen "Chelsea Girls", "VU & Nico", and "I, A Man". I would really like to see "Kiss", "Blow Job", "Couch", "Kitchen", "Vinyl", "Blue Movie", and ANY and ALL films of his. Do you have any idea where I can rent or buy any more of his films, besides eBay?
