Ever watch it drunk?


A friend and I got together and drank some terrible scotch and moonshine while we watched The Master the other night (it was my third viewing and his second, I believe).

I have to say, it was an incredible experience and I highly recommend it.

Anyone else ever give this a try? We joked that you could make a great drinking game out of it just by drinking along with Freddie anytime he partakes.

The first time i saw it i was drunk in a matinée! Cheap whiskey. Good times

First time: strung out, incredible

Second time: drunk, hilarious

Third time: stoned, heartwarming

Fourth time: during sex, exhilarating

Fifth time: sober, a masterpiece

Fourth time: during sex, exhilarating


Gotta ask... ^^^ How on earth was this possible? Great summary, though.


For me it was more like:

First time: stoned, beautiful but unsettling

Second time: stoned, just beautiful

Third time: drunk, funnier than ever but also seemed to just make a lot more sense than ever before


For some reason on my third, drunk viewing I was really focused on the interplay between Lancaster and Freddie as a master and his dog. May sound a bit ridiculous, but there are lots of parts where Lancaster calls Freddie a "good boy," talks a lot about him being an animal... That scene when Freddie shows up at the house and they roll around on the lawn, etc. Don't know if this was painfully obvious and I just failed to pick up on it at first, but it seemed pretty huge to me last time I watched it.

Gonna try for a good mixture of drink and smoke next time, perhaps.
