I'm not sure about it not being as bad as other horrors done by Cronenberg, I only have to hear the title and my mind cruelly revisits Spader frenching mate. Ugh.
It's an interesting film if nothing else and would be a very short lived club.
Stranger though, is to think of the rather more charming and engaging family tale of Empire of the Sun from Ballard. But then on that film, to get the shocked effect on Bale's face Spielberg was after (the Berg's), he had the actor playing the Chinese housekeeper batter poor little Bale for real, after repeatedly telling him she wouldn't do it again!
I digress. I kind of liked Crash but with the reservation that it finally drove so far up it's own tale-pipe that I wouldn't choose to see it again.
