I just saw the movie . . . . . .

You're talking about Cronenberg's Crash. Mr Fun is talking about another movie called Crash.

that still doesn't change the fact that Canadians are weird perverts.

It costs $5 for a beer in Canada someone told me. Sick freaks.

Crash was a fine movie, MrFun. Don't let these "XXX: State of the Union" fanboys bother you.

However, I got the feeling that everybody was perhaps a little too concerned with race than they are in the real world. Perhaps some of 'poly's Angeleno's can tell us how things are in LA in regards to race consciousness. Zkribbler? Anyone?

Ok.....and I for one, still am clueless as to what this movie is that MrFun (and I guess you all in turn) are talking about.

Signed,

Clueless in "The City"

Now that you followed the link provided by nostro, are you liberated from cluelessness?

You're right about the observation that there were some exaggerations of some of the characters' emotions.

But even if the film is not 100% realistic, we can still take the opportunity to enjoy the film. And yes, I would like to see what Zkribbler and other Angeleons think of the film -- do they think it's crap, or that it was fairly good?

Has anyone seen Grand Canyon? I always felt race was too big an issue in that film as well. But it's what the film was about, so they couldn't ignore it.

that movie was sick. having penetrating sex with wounds. ugh.

But it was interesting. Before I saw it, I thought I'd seen it all. But no, it proved me wrong. Btw, its an adaptation of Ballards book, Crash. And Ballard isn't a Canadian, he's a Brit.

Canadians are weird people.

I would say that there are a lot more weirdos in the States. A while ago, I started a thread on this. Cronenberg also adapted Burroughs' Naked Lunch, a good example of an American weirdo.
