You know, I haven't seen it. It's one of those films that never appealed to me even though I really like Depp and Gilliam.

Might check it out when it reaches Sky.

I've had the import for a while. Superb film, though most people say the book is much better (I haven't read it).

To be honest, books are 99% of the time better than the films
because of your imagination.

And Yes, its a big fucking disapointment, but there we go.
Probably why its only £11.99...

The book is better. Bringing Thompsons work to live in film is very difficult.

I will do so, and by "do so" I actually mean "I will probably never read this book".

The book is where it's at, the movie didn't do anything for me.
