Quote: It's all sort of a Victorian Love Story with Girls in a Theater-of-the-Absurd Twenty-First-Century Paris, which is fine if you're into that kind of thing. -- Gryphon, about the Utena movie, Eyrie website discussion groups, 8/6/2001

Quote:"Somebody gave me some acid once at Glastonbury, that was a mistake,
dear Lord. You see, what they don't tell you about acid - and who are
'they?' The wizards, but, I dunno... the thing they don't tell you about
acid is it's dull.

It's really dull.

There's this kind of mythology about LSD, it's like sort of psychedelic
trippy with the pixies and the elves - NO!

What happened was, after about an hour, I was just a little bit buzzy.
Little bit buzzy, little bit buzzy, little bit buzzy, little bit buzzy.
All I was doing was watching somebody, and it was this woman, she had
her legs crossed like that, and I said that's quite interesting, the way
the legs cross like that, it's got an angle, like that, and the table
leg's straight, but the angle of the leg's quite interesting, you've got
the angle of the leg, like that, but the table leg like that, and the
angle of the leg's like that, like that, like that like that, and the
other leg comes down like that, forms an N, forms an N, forms an N,
forms an N, N, nnnnnn, nnnnn, nnnnnnnh, for hours and hours and hours
and hours. I was reading furniture for days.

TV writers, they often use acid as a kind of shorthand for 'wacky'.
They'll say something like, 'This sitcom, it'll be like Terry and June
on acid! You imagine what that'd be like!' Yeah. I can imagine what that
would be like. That'd be Terry examining the floral pattern on a plate
for four days. 'That's quite interesting, that's quite interesting,
that's quite interesting, that's quite interesting, that's quite
interesting, that's quite interesting, ooh look that forms a little
circle, that's quite interesting. What do you think of that, June?
That's quite interesting, that's quite interesting... '

No. It's rubbish."
