First Puttnam spoke, then Roland Joffe, then the main actor and finally the man the film was based on, Dith Pran - We all left bumping into the walls - completely drained I love good films and even indifferent ones give me a buzz!!

Anytime it was something I'd seen, I felt like I'd had a small win. Even if I disagreed with what they said about it. Of course that was when there were only a sensible number of channels, and more stuff worth warching on them. ("57 Channels (and Nothin' on" - only 57!!) |
