Re: Clocktrain wind up work?

I worked in film for a couple of years, and it was always said TS was ACO of the 90´s. That itself sounds, in some subliminal way, like a depurated version of something, a Clockwork Orange, super light. And it wasn´t even that.

The TS film was fun--not great. But fun. I feel the toilet scene was nipped from Gravity´s Rainbow and the dead baby was a reedition of the deathh of Rocamadour in Rayuela. More where those came from, but I only watched it once, and on several shots of pisco. 

As for the Kubrick, its fierce and lyrical, and if TS is it´s nonfattening version, then I suddenly look like Lauren Bacall...

As for the novels...I don´t see the real link either. Burguess is brazen and daunting where Welsh is ninetiesh and sensationalistic.

Love, Monica
