Many of us have friends who like to alter their states of consciousness and talk about making a movie. You know, that one, and like, this guy, and he has all this money, and he, like, does all this stuff, and it's, like, great, and then, like, they all go and, like all the rich people are all like "eww neww! mai mink cewwt!" Yeah, we should make that movie.
Well, they made it in the 60s (several times.) and I've just completed viewing it: The Magic Christian. It's got Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr buying people off. There's no story to speak of, just a series of nasty pranks that begin and end with one of the two of them paying somebody to do something. Yup. That's a "we got stoned and wrote it" kind of premise. Yup. It carries through, too, to the end, such as there is one. It's fun to watch, but it isn't the kind of story you can hum.
