Absolutely. 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.
