You have to look straight ahead, or you'll get shadows, fuzziness, and other weird effects. About the 4th time I saw the movie, I did several experiments during the more boring parts of the movie, such as tilting my head at a 45 degree angle, turning the glasses upside down, and the like. If you want to see a really freaky (late 60's word: means "far out, boss, tough as hang") effect, try looking into a mirror whilst you are wearing the polarised glasses. It looks like your eyes are floating out in front of the glasses. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Kirby ( ...!ihnp4!akgua!cylixd!dave)
