Have you ever tried inhaling butane?

Artificial unintelligence
I smoked weed for the first time in forever recently. Well, I didn't actually smoke any, because the "bat" I inhaled from was already extinguished, but I definitely inhaled some butane. And that's strong stuff.
You can imagine, in any case, why I was interested in getting straight blunted (er, batted), as the assembled party was prepping to watch a screener of the new Daft Punk film, Electroma. Actually, I was the only one who wanted to see it, since everybody else had already seen it and thought it sucked. (That's the ubersnob NY elite for you; the thing hadn't even come out yet, and they'd already written it off.)
But I don't care what anyone says, I sort of liked it. (Maybe because I was sort of stoned?) As I wrote recently in Creative Loafing: "The story of two robots' quest to become human, Electroma is exactly what you would expect from a film directed and co-written by Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homen-Christo. (Yes, it is roughly the same plot as A.I., but don't worry; there are no animatronic teddy bears or Jude Law). Arriving in a nameless American town where everybody else is also a robot, the pair goes into a laboratory and has oversized human faces molded onto their robot heads. But the sun quickly melts these masks, and they retreat in shame.
The film's worth seeing if only for the face-melting scenes. Though it is waaaayy too long and features no Daft Punk music (double u tee eff?), I nonetheless recommend it not just to the stoned, but to the half-stoned as well.
