“ANGRY MOLESTING TREE”
The film adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s Ecstacy is doing pretty abysmally in the film review department, which is a shame; I really liked the book. To be fair though, they chose the most boring novella in it; the one that’s a bit like Trainspotting but not quite as good (which is how the film’s being hailed incidentally), instead of the funny and shocking one with necrophilia and bits of period drama, or the brutal and shocking one with disability and all the gruesome violence. More screen-friendly I guess, and subtle? Or just crap? Would still like to see it and make up my own mind..
Danny Boyle must be so happy about this.
I’m so tempted to buy Cabin’s visual companion for more concept art, monsters and Joss Whedon times. Beneath my quiet exterior there seems to lie a raging appetite for destruction, oh well.
Nats Joss Whedon did Buffy!!!! and when I saw the ad for this film in India I was sooo jealous because I couldn't see it :-(((
ReplyDeleteIt's worth a watch, I'll probably grab it on DVD and we can do a "crit" with crisps and dips! Hahaha I know, I was thinking of Buffy as I watched it! :D
