Hey! Did you people see the movie? Did I miss the laughable parts??? It's eerie, depressive, dark, scary.... Sure, there's irony all over, but not the sort that makes you laugh... I liked it, but it wasn't the sort of thing to lift my spirits...
It seems to me the book (which I didn't read) leaves a very different impression compared to the movie. Did anyone read the movie AND see the book (well, the other way round)?
i have indeed read the book and seen the film and to tell you the truth, i found the film absolutely hilarious, particularly the end which was a tad different to kafka's original version (let's just say josef k & dynamite didn't mix too well). but what i really wanted to know was: that music, you'll know what i mean if you've seen the film... what is it? it's a really famous piece, but i've forgotten who it's by, what it is etc, and it's been bugging me since i saw the film. any clues? another picnic memory: after our impromptu rendition of mayfly, just before popping down to the pub, this chappy came up to a group of us and said 'you're belle and sebastian yeah, could you sign this for me', and produced a copy of 'if your felling sinister..' on vinyl. sorry, i just found that rather funny... had to disappoint him - shame really, but i'd have felt too guilty signing it, even though it'd probably have made him happier. ah well, down the pub rob x ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + / \ St Theresa's calling her | O | The church up on the hill _______| _ | Is looking lovely / / /\ | __| \/.
