Yuk.

Did we really need so many come-shots in this film?

Not a particularly nice film to watch, and I don't want to watch it again in a hurry, but there's something about it, you can't turn it off.

At the start of every scene I'd cringe wondering what could happen next.

It made a change to see a paedophile as a real person, with a family and a job, rather than a man in a dirty rain-coat. But Christ, was it ever uncomfortable listenning to him say that he 'made love' to the children.

It's not a film I could say that I liked, or enjoyed, and I'd struggle to recommend it to anyone else, but, as I said before, I don't know what it is, I couldn't turn it off, I wanted to know what would happen next, how bad it would get...

Cmon, let's do a stupidly long Brodie quote chain.

Liked Happiness, in a funny didn't like watching it kind of way.

I did once make my family watch a BBC2 christmas film, a French number about the black death which (a) scared the bejesus out of me and (b) went down like a lead balloon. Back to Only Fools and Horses after that.

Chasing Amy doesn't have enough Brodie Jason Lee. Yes Banky is funny, but it's nowhere near the geniusness of Brodie Bruce.

Mallrats is where it's at.

I stand by my choices. The week before that, I picked Chasing Amy and introduced all my friends to Kevin Smith.

*punches air*

My taste of films rocks.

Know how you feel Snuggly.

I chose a truly atrocious film called "The Dentist" one time. Still no video choosing for me...

I chose Happiness as the film when some friends came round, a kind of popcorn/movie/night in evening. My video-choosing privileges remain invalid even today.

Oh the start bit was excellent, where he took back the gift, fantastic.

I'd forgotten about that bit, even though I only saw it last night.

I didnt mind this one, yep it made me feel icky though.

I did thoroughly enjoy the start though, the dude in the restaurant with the ring.
Heh

This is Tod Solenz, the geek that made Storytelling.
If you want truly hateful cinema, watch "Your Friends and Neighbours" by Neil Labute, and his 1st one I can't remember. About two blokes that play a deaf woman for their own amusement..."In the company of men" - that's the one
