That sounds groovy. I love little touches like that...that's why 28DL was disappointing because it starts off fantastically with a completely deserted London, beautifully filmed. You could really see the director's influence (he did Shallow Grave). Then the writer takes over and it's bloody Alex Garland (The Beach) so it goes completely lame. The end is so Hollywood, too.

Yeah, looking on IMBD The Stand was a made for TV - shame really. I wish they wouldn't do that with a good book.

'slways a shame when movie production staff seem to have "problems" like that, where they obviously have differing views on how a film should go.

Yep. It's as though the director (who's British) shot the first half an hour and then had to go cap in hand to the US studios for cash, whereupon they said "yeah, fine, but you have to do it our way"; and inevitabley ended up with the usual Hollywood trashy ending.

In which case, one has to ask "why a US studio"? :)

Anyhow, it's bedtime. Watching Glastonbury 2003 on BBC is tiring, all that singing along ;)

Not like we have a booming film industry here, is it? Loads of talent, no cash, cos it's all about the box office not the art.
