    really? I didn't see your post. I watched the DVD the other day. pretty amazing how they did the werewolf change without all the special effects they can call on nowadays.

    Sorry but I thought the Matrix was bollox. Mr Reaves is as wooden as you can get. The DVD was pretty revolutionary though. By the way, I own it.

    You really, really, really are running out of ideas :p

    Pistol, yep, if this forum had a search facility I could find my previous post, basically there are a lot of strange things about that scene, the place is called Crickadarn in case anyone cares, John Burt the former head of the BBC lives in the house on the right, the big one, which strangely used to be a pub but they use the pace on the left as a pub instead. They also put a plastic tree in front of the telephone box!

    I'll name my top ten when I get back home later.

    Unfortunately I also own that DVD. Another load of bollox. The book was far superior.

    I like the American Psycho, I thought they dealt with the violence pretty well, incapsulated a lot of what the book was saying and kept it interesting, the book tends to waffle a lot.

    Did you see Nick Bateman play the baddie in Shaft? A pretty good American accent for an english guy.

    Ugh.

    I can't get the bitter taste of this post out of my mouth...I tell ya, it's put me off going to see "Rules of Attraction" - see yet another Ellis book bastardised!

    Am Psycho (film) just totally missed the point of the book - was he making it all up or was he doing it all...!

    And cut most of the best bits of the book's shocking violence (well, I guess they had to really!)
