It raises interesting points about media manipulation and celebrity worship .. and yes the seedy and sordid side of society most of us choose to try and remain ignorant of. Which is why films like this are important to exist and watch.<br />But did I enjoy it? ... Errr .. I don't think so. An odd answer .. surely I know if I enjoyed it or not? WEll, as I said, it kept me engrossed, and has remained highly memorable .. but I don't think I enjoyed it. It was certainly one of those that made you want to go and have a shower after watching it.<br /><br />And hello Andrew..

Congrats!!<br /><br />Thirdly, did we just become Facebook friends? I sincerely don't know what you look like, but accepted a friend request from an Amanda who is mutual friends with Ray? If so, awesome!Andrew D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13875921908336809524noreply@blogger.com
