no lie that movie saved my ass royally
after i ran away from this lockdown boarding school that got shut down by the stae later on for human rights violations i was living with my estranged dad because the school convinced my mom it was best to let me live on the streets. so i was on thin ice big time with him.
so im hangin out at my boys crib and hes having a litte get together. he sold mushrooms and weed at the time, and we were all getting down about to trip. it was like 99 or some shit, and the unedited diirectors cut double vhs had just dropped so me and my boy were like lets go rent it before this shit kicks in.
long story short, just as we get back with the movie we pull into the drveway to find 5 cop cars surrounding the house. we pulled away before they realized , but within the 15 minutes it took to rent that movie everyone got lined up ad rrested, and my boy got his moms house raided. we were the only ones to gt away, thanks to terry gilliams masterpiece.
