Bearing in mind the sage words on Lucy's blog on Sunday regarding rape scenes in movies, this is about as bad as it gets. Some of the movie is a bit silly and pointlessly offensive, and some of it is exceptionally powerful and disturbing - all in all,Chip Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703857102434828100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3088772136794609539.post-83627418489353960512007-09-03T21:47:00.000+01:002007-09-03T21:47:00.000+01:00I was once given a tutorial on 'fixing things in t...I was once given a tutorial on 'fixing things in the edit suite' but I can't really recall much about it as it was a long time ago and a lot of time, 10+ years, and prescription painkillers have flowed under the bridge since then!

I always start to worry about films that have had a lot of jiggery pokery added in post-production - it's almost as if the makers don't have enough confidence in the material itself, so they've got to sex it up somehow.
