I'll still watch it though.
Of course it will be. Just a remixed, updated version of the book. A documentary would not be the proper way to communicate new findings. Of course, I'm sure it'll still be interesting for all of us, to see where we fit in with the opinions and experiences. I think the real issue is not so much the film itself, as we already know of Strassman's approach, but with its repercussions on the public. I think it'll bring a lot of people here, it'll contribute to DMT's popularity, but maybe not as much as some people fear. Rarely do documentaries become very popular. They tend to be watched by a set of people who are already 'into' subcultures in one way or another. Your uncle will not see this film, unless of course your uncle is the strange geeky guy in the family. And kids will not see it either, they'll be busy behind the BIG cinema, smoking cheap joints before Inception.
So who is this movie for? I think it's precisely for the type of people who might be interested in DMT, and that's a good thing.
