Great read. Enjoyed it. Surprised by Eastern Promises. Didn't quite work for me – something was missing that I can't place, and I've seen it a few times. I loved Exstinez, although I haven't seen it for years.

Dead Ringers is great also, as is Crash, but I'm a Ballard fan. History of Violence, good, but the ending seemed rushed. Videodrome I haven't seen. The Fly is excellent, agreed. And Naked Lunch, I love the novel so much that I'm not sure a movie could work - but maybe I'll see it. Thanks
