okay, now I don't care much for shitty movies or something but after watching this, I have to say that the writing and puppetry of the 80's is what really gets me. I fucking love it when they use real things instead of CGI. And the dialogue in this movie is fantastic! What a great film.

I don't know much about drugs but I have had an addiction to dr.pepper and I remember saying just need to take a break and I'll finally stop. And while I know a lot of drug users recover there are alot like Brian who can't fight it for long.

Kinda the point-- this *whole film* (and Aylmer and his juice) is a metaphor for drug addiction; as someone who has worked with people who were going through withdrawal in the past, I must say that (exaggeration for dramatic effect aside), they got a lot of the details correct.

I don't mind Aylmer talking, or moving like a puppet, it adds to his charm, but what kills it is those tiny little cartoon eyes, maybe if he had just one eye that looked kinda Alien-ish or Snake-like, he look more like a talking entity instead. The mere fact that he feels so civilized to talk to reminds me not only of just Little Shop of Horrors like mentioned in the Older comments, but also kinda reminds me of Brain Gremlin from Gremlins 2. It's like it all takes place in the same universe.
