I saw this in the movie theatre when it came out. I was looking around in my seat a bit. You had to see it in the theater to really appreciate it, and if you did you know what I mean. Also, Michael is a close personal friend of mine, so for me, it was especially frightening to think that my good buddy..."gulp"...would...do that...could do that...to ME while I watched it in the theater was intensely wierd. I have paranoid schizophrenia, as well, so it was gripping, and very hard for me not to acknowledge the "real" possibility of a grand-scale evil joke being played on me personally. Whew! It's hard to explain, but in the end, all things considered, I decided it was a way cool experience. I am going to buy it for nostalgia's sake, and also because I like watching movies with people in them that I know, especially strange people like Michael. His very strange personality also shines through in "Barton Fink", and an episode of some serial show like "Dark Shadows" or something like that, I can't exactly remember though, in which he plays a unique sort of ice cream man. Oh gross!
