;-) Is this seriously the first time you've stumbled across Sense-dep? Or are you pulling my leg?

Either way, I've got your Friday night movie selection.

THANK YOU for the link, I've not seen this movie but will this weekend. I've definitely come across Sense-dep before but I've never talked with anyone that has partook. I'm genuinely curious what the experience is like from a first hand account?

Paddy Chayefski's last, and probably Ken Russell's closest to mainstream (he also did Tommy and Lair of the White Worm). it's not a great film, but it sure is weird.

Hanging out in an NC5 environment isn't sensory deprivation per se; it's just strange to discover just how much of our sense of place is related to the environment around us. Take away that environment and we start to feel unmoored.
