Completely off-topic, but I have to mention that I feel that the film was
horrible. Have you read the book? The movie pales in comparison. The
director, David Cronenberg, seems to have something about wanting to turn
difficult books into movies (i.e. Naked Lunch). Just as with that novel,
I think it's pretty impossible to get the full effect that the author
intended unless you were to use the book as your shooting script. Crash
the movie winds up being a film about people doing weird things for no
apparent reason, whereas the book is about people doing wierd things for
very definate reasons, however implausible they may seem to be. It's no
wonder that Ted Turner didn't like it - it's unfortunate that he thinks
this way because he was offended, and not because he realized it was a
fairly poor piece of film-making.
