But I HAVE to watch. I finally just bought the DVD so it least I don't have to sit through commercials.<br /><br />R.I.P. indeed, Mr. Ballard.<br /><br /><B>@Ochyming</B>I saw <I>This is England</I> last summer. It was a great film and a great look at Thatcher's England; the economic stagnation, cities rapidly crumbling into vacant wastelands, the nihilism of the working class. A great portrait of the anomie that often drives politics.<br /><br />I also thought the directors attempt to divorce the original skinhead culture of the early 1980s from racism and the National Front, now the British National Party was very interesting.allheavenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11231976571996568680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34770350.post-90598714691910236432009-04-21T10:33:00.000-04:002009-04-21T10:33:00.000-04:00"The anti-Jodi Picoult."

Thank you for personalizing the movie. I'll look out for it. I have seen "Crash" (the version you highlight) in bits and pieces and it was very strange!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08134554508117555404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34770350.post-74916274518486771812009-04-20T18:01:00.000-04:002009-04-20T18:01:00.000-04:00you wrote:
