If you haven't had a chance to see The Holy Mountain, the 1973 film by avant garde filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky, then you're missing out on one of the most psychedelic movies I'm personally aware of. Oh I'm sure there are other strange films out there - and we'd love to hear about them - but when I saw this one recently, I had my head blown in about 58 different ways that I never expected. It was recently released as part of a DVD set of all of Jodorowsky's films - a set I highly recommend, as you'll run across all kinds of psychedelic mayhem therein. At any rate, here's the trailer for the film, to whet your appetite (and to answer the question, "How the fuck does anyone market stuff like this?"). You can try to imagine what this film is about based on this trailer, but rest assured, the film itself is decidedly weirder.
