“In an era where everything is so easily accessible, the idea that there's a movie out there that people don't want you to see, and it's going be really hard for you to see it, even though everyone tells you it's great, is a huge draw. They're looking for something that is a little different, something that wasn't test-marketed half to death. A film that will make them feel something.”

One of my favorite movies, and one of my favorite quotes from a filmmaker, and regarding life in general:

"Reality is a dirty word for me. I know it isn't for most people, but I am not interested. There's too much of it about." ~Ken Russell

@robwighamwatercolours Reminds me of the opening shot in TOMMY. I know was deeply in love with The Lake District and used it as much as he could!

ep2 In terms of script, this adaptation is surprisingly faithful to the @neilhimself original! At 37min, I like that with streaming an episode can now last just as long as it has to, no artificial padding or cutting to fit an exact duration.

What I increasingly have problems with: directing/photography is too "clean", too mainstream, too Netflix. Gone are the chaotic surreal experimentations of the comic. Imagine what or would have done with this material!
