david	I do love mememe, it's such a joy to watch, whilst making a valid point. (I just skip past that scene now!).
JK2006	Three things David and Hamlet - yes, it was meant to stretch the comment about "organisations" and it was also needed to get the biggYbigg track/video in (which I really wanted to include - I think it's funny) but essentially - Paul Wiffen felt (rightly) the scene didn't work as it was originally written so we adapted it on the hoof. Mistake. We could have spent half an hour thinking about it and greatly improved it. But it's such an essential part of the plot we can't lose it now. It does, sadly, slow the speed down (as does the Too Long Marshall/Jane sequence) and I do think the first 20 minutes could and should have been trimmed by about 5 minutes but you live and learn! Please remember - this is only my second movie - both done on really shoestring budgets. I'm learning all the time. Incidentally, the writer of the long review above sent me a private message saying Don't Forget Me When You're On Your Island is stuck in his head and he thinks it deserves to be a smash.
Hamlet	david wrote: The wooden acting I can generally handle, it's kind of cute in the film as a whole. But what the heck is all that stuff about police and the 'race card' about. It seems to come out of nowhere and has no relevance to anything before or after. The scene is simply awful, please cut it! I thought it linked in with the theme of media manipulation in that its about how organisations manipulate concerns about racism by appointing 'token blacks' without really believing in genuine equal opps.
david	I have to say, the one negative point in the review you posted above is one I agree with (and I say this as a huge fan of both your films). The scene where Tabby and Jane meet up is just dreadful. In fact it almost made me press 'stop' when I watched it the first time. I won't dwell too long on it as I don't want it to detract from what is a wonderfully enjoyable film, but..... The wooden acting I can generally handle, it's kind of cute in the film as a whole. But what the heck is all that stuff about police and the 'race card' about. It seems to come out of nowhere and has no relevance to anything before or after. The scene is simply awful, please cut it! Otherwise I love the film!
JK2006	Oh Morty you're SO Norty! Who says I'm not a genius. I think I am - in my own lunchtime.
