Once I drove to downtown Minneapolis with a friend to see The Doors (is that what it was called?) My friend got stoned first, but I didn't because I was driving. My friend was giggling at all the silly parts. I so envied her stoned state.
I don't remember much at all about that movie. But the parts with the spirit of the dead Native American appearing to Morrison come to mind, as well as the scene of him getting blown while singing in the recording studio.
Oh, and I remember thinking at the time that Oliver Stone wanted to be Jim Morrison.
The Doors (is that what it was called?)
That was the title of the film, but I think that people called it Jim, the Story of an Alcoholic Moron.
I was on acid for
The Doors
(no, mother, of course I wasn't), and kept thinking "Wow, if this is bad
now,
imagine how much it must be sucking for the straight people." Nothing anyone has said convinced me that I needed to try again unhindered.
Dennis Leary said that there didn't need to be a movie about Jim Morrison, that you could summarize his life in three sentences: "I'm drunk, I'm nobody. I'm drunk, I'm famous. I'm drunk, I'm dead."
Except the movie had an "I'm drunk -- I'm dead ... boo!" moment, which pissed us off mightily. I was all set to leave.
Didn't they just come out last year, for a reasonable price? What happened? Is Amazon just on crack?
Yow. Earlier this year, they had them in stock for $70, I think. Maybe they're sold out? Ack. You might want to check other vendors, online and off.

Try DVDPriceSearch. They have one vendor for new with the price @ $98.00. They also have Amazon used for $150.00, which is odd.
Like a fine wine, they get better with age.

They don't turn to vinegar?
Personally, I thought Val Kilmer did a good job as Jim Morrison, but that was due more to the fact that he can act that the director. The rest of the movie was complete and utter shit.

Yikes. That's still more than I'm willing to pay for them, for lo, I am poor, and it's not like my mother is DYING to have them. But I'm bummed, because I knew she loved the show, and she'd really appreciate the gift. But I don't really have a spare hundred dollars lying around to spend on her, no matter how much I love her. Sorry, Mom.
