Pretty decent, love the cover for their upcoming 'Paris, Texas' release.

What's your opinion on Gommorah Chris? Did ye read the book first?

Ihaven't watched it yet. Got this and Elite Squad a few weeks ago on BD, but I haven't found the time for either. How's the book? Could you recommend an order?

Whoah there mr 22222.

One of my friends who saw Gommorah at the cinema virtually insisted I read the book first, and I'm glad he did, without it the films impact would have been considerably lessoned as it would have made bugger all sense tbh...

The book is good, some sections aren't particularly engaging but the context it provides is vital. The filmmakers almost seem to presume you have read the book already such is the lack of contextualisation provided.

Cool. Thanks for the heads up! I'll look into that.
