    And there was Cleese saying he wouldn't even contemplate a sequal unless it was better. Have been told that the scenes with Ronnie Corbett are the best in the film.

    It is a really strange movie, coming across like scenes from two different films spliced together almost randomly. They assembled such a top cast of comic character players that you watch it on edge, waiting for laughs to come which never arrive.

    A couple that I wished I'd never seen: Return to Paradise : Joaquin Phoenix won me over as an actor, but I can't help but be disturbed by his performance and the ending and Wicker Man had a similar effect on me. Obviously I prefer happy endings.

    Fierce Creatures had so many production problems,rewrites and so many endings no wonder it was not funny and a,it proves one thing though,you can have a top notch cast and still make a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad movie.

    Weird choice of director they had on Fierce Creatures. Charles Crichton was too elderly and frail to do it, and obviously Cleese wanted a creative subordinate rather than somebody who would take over control. But rather than getting a young comedy director, they went for Robert Young who was quite experienced but certainly not in comedy.

    You'd have thought Cleese would had seen Splitting Heirs

    Early Steven Seagal films are a gulity pleasure in The BatCave .... although he does rather tend to look like a budgie!







    My brother in law met him during his concert tour of the UK last year and said he was a really nice guy.

    Eraserhead for me - the only film I have ever walked out of. Found it nauseating, disturbing, vile. Couldn't understand it - but maybe that's because I didn't see it through. Anyone out there understand what it was all about??

    Alien, Trainspotting, The Omen, these films gave me nightmares which is why I avoid anything scary. That includes Pretty Woman, no its not scary but the way Julia Roberts does that quivery lips thing is . How can anyone see that as sexy or endearing? In every film she's done she does it. It's overused and tedious and she should be severely punished.



    There got it off my chest! Phew!

    Hi Batman

    My comments were perhaps rather harsh as I have not met Mr Segal, but my partner is a psychiatric nurse and had to treat me for hysteria after watching too many of his films in one go-I remain horribly fascinated by his strange charisma and even tied my hair in a pony tail

    I am a psychiatric nurse too, so if you ever fancy a Seagal fest and want to feel safe, I'm only at the other end of the Batphone!

    I am begining to think only the emotionally hardy can withstand the Segal effect. I appreciate the offer should I ever fall of the wagon again.

    LOL !! That was EXACTLY what David Lynch set out to do.



    Yes, it was supposed to do all those things, and no, you can discuss the possible "meaning" of it all for a thousand years.



    I saw it at the cinema when it was released, and it certainly made an impact on the audience. Some loved it, many hated it. As a piece of cinema I can only say that it is unique.
