The movie was a huge disappointment compared to the novel and lacked the utter transgressions of its literary form (Vaughn, for example, meticulously planning his spectacular suicide by crashing into the limousine of Elizabeth Taylor, killing her and himself). Also, the central character, a man named "Ballard" at the end of the book is carefully planning his own suicide by car crash (not even suggested in the movie). One of the great 20th century psychological horror novels that the movie only partly successfully captures, imo.

Well then the book has got to be amazing. Added to my book list, based on your referral. Thanks.

Ok ok..... I just revisited this post, no idea but probably because I'm high. And that second video, the masterpiece of audio and video made vodka come out my nose.

That was 10 minutes ago. My sinuses are on fire.
