theres a lot of things wrong with that film.. but i get the
sense when i watch it, that even the moments when it seems
to be taking itself/club/drug culture a little too seriously
are actually a bit of a sideways swipe at its own subject
matter.
most of the ideas/characters/situations in the film seemed
hideously dated even when it first came out. its almost like
watching a period piece.

Poor film IMO and not a very good representation of club
culture either. Only two good scenes were the time lapsed
clouds set to Moby's "God is Moving Over the Waters" and the
"Dope Politics" scene at the house party.

forgot...)...

yeah terribly disappointing. I'd agree with Ceri JC.

It has no story line, goes nowhere, the characters aren't
developed at all... It's good as a (kinda) accurate
(although a bit over the top) documentary but as a movie..
naah

it IS a very bad film..
in so many ways.

it just amuses me that its sort of ambiguous as to how
seriously it actually takes the clubculture thing. how much
it buys into the politics of the characters.. or whether
theyre supposed to be the lame little selfindulgent clichés
they are..

one of the worst films ive ever seen - what the fuck is the
point in watching a load of people talking shit and
pretending to be mashed. I can only hope that the complete
lack of a decent script etc was because they were all really
fucked on drugs and made it up as they went along - that'd
be the only thing to make this pointless piece of shit
worthy of all the time/money in making it.

Quite aside from the film, there's the point to consider
that they screwed a lot of the cameramen/extras/etc. out of
cash. As it was on a budget they promised royalties to those
people in lieu of pay. Two years later and when the film had
made literally millions, a lot of those involved still
hadn't seen a penny.
Very PLUR...
