(the title is a combination of the words "drug addicts" and "eyelashes")

I was reading about the movies about drug addicts that I've watched recently and came across this choice line in a NYT article... 
"As the junkie Harry, a wasted pretty boy, he seems kept aloft by his eyelashes, the only substantial thing on his frame."

What a quote!! I don't think I have to spell it out as to why I find this quote quite pleasing to have read. Also, the next sentence: "Superficially, it might be easy to confuse the protagonists of '''Requiem'' with the models in a Calvin Klein Jeans ad of a few years ago."

Here is the review that these quotes came from if you'd like to read it in full.

Also, here is another relevant quote. 
"Did you enjoy Darren Aronosky leading you by the hand to the brink of suicide, only to leave you tottering there above an abyss of despair? If so, you’re a bit weird. But don’t worry, you’re not alone; and neither is ‘Requiem for a Dream’. For more of the same spirit-crushing depression, check out ‘The Panic in Needle Park’, ‘Christiane F.’ or ‘What About Me?’" ~ Jonny Sweet

Here is a short little blurb about the two movies.

I just wanted to put this out there.
