I just wish this show was more of a police procedural and less of a soap opera with all the dumb romance subplots that I could not possibly care less about. I fast-forward right through those.

Award-winning director, Rob Heydon’s film version of Irvine Welsh’s Ecstasy opens this fall.

Starring Adam Sinclair, Kristin Kreuk, Billy Boyd and Carlo Rota, it’s based on Welsh’s novella, “The Undefeated”, taken from his book Ecstasy - Three Tales of Chemical Romance.

It’s 15 years since the film version of Trainspotting kicked in the doors and launched the careers of a young and new generation of talent, and while negotiations continue for its follow-up Porno, it’s hoped Ecstasy will be as good, if not better. Here’s hoping.

Here’s the most recent teaser for the Ecstasy, plus 2 others. For more information check here.

The song sucks. Not the message, just the song, a pedestrian ripoff of "Express Yourself."
Bad Romance is awesome, tho.


Eh art is all a ripoff, lets just enjoy stuff instead of comparing registers.

@criticalthud Direct Democracy isn't something to want, ask the great minds of the Greeks. The flailing desires of the mob tend to trample people, not enable them. I don't suppose this is actually an actual step in that direction, but I am seeing direct Democracy as raising in desirably among people, which I think would be a mistake.


I'm guessing greek society was still insanely primitive, although we tend to romance it. I think we evolved considerably, especially in the realms of our ability to exchange information.
But i recognize your fears, and I think at this stage of the consciousness, it would be a grand task indeed.
still, the potential is there for a much higher complexity in cooperation among the species.

Thanks!

I actually quite liked Lady in the Water...Maybe I'll watch it again someday I wonder what I was thinkin.
But yah. Airbender. Wow was that shit. I've seen better on straight to DVD. I think my favorite bit was the romance between that little ice princess and some guy which goes from first meeting, to love at first to her giving her life in about 6 seconds flat. Yes the acting was terrible, but so was everything else. Literally everything...oh the effects were ok!
The Happening was worse tho. Nothing happened. Well some trees shook in the wind and people went suicidal. The End.

because audiences have too much ADD to enjoy a story where danger literally surrounds you, but doesn't come in the form of a CGI-alien or explosion... how do you fight plant life? or bacteria? or viruses?
in a movie that is hard... the brain dead way (pun) is to use zombies... then we can alleviate some of that ADD with boo scare factor
literally people have to stop going to his films expecting summer blockbusters... and have to start looking at the characterization more... he's not aiming for highbrow, and too many lowbrow seem to go to his movies and get pissed... he wants you to invest a bit into the movie, not just be taken for a pants wetting ride
the same people (i've found anyhoos) who detest his movies, find Hitchcock to be boring as well... I'm not saying MNS and HC are on the same level... but there's definitely some stylistic overlap...
you get out what you put in... if you have nothing to put in, there's plenty of summer blockbusters to for you... you can drool over Megan Fox (or her replacement) and then drool over how cool the transformers look and come out feeling like you spent your money well... but hardly as though you've been challenged as a viewer... beyond eye strain I suppose


from someone who finds hitchcocks approach fascinating, shyalaman is a fucking dumbass

Why propose at an airport? Romance fail?

hmmm...new found respect for someone most typically relegated to shitty-romance-actor-status.

love how the "journalist" slammed hugh's recording attempt. guess the pro's really know how to do it.

They remind me of Ranch Romance, a defunct Western Swing band.

Women playing instruments make me happy!

I'm a little disappointed they've added romance. Even if it was done for the reference, it is kind of soapy. Also, Katie and Soren? I'm a KatMichael shipper myself.


They already "hooked up" for joking material in the first episode of this. I wouldn't take it as a romance, just a punchline. The production quality of these is improving greatly, though.
