It was more, I felt, generally anti-Establishment than it was anti-Thatcherite.

(Forget the film though, that was so much crap - Keanu Reeves as John Constantine? What the hell were they thinking?)

I shall look forward to seeing it very much, but as to when I cannot say - it took an age before I managed to see Batman Begins (eugh, and how I wish I hadn't), and being off the beaten track up here somewhat it's possible that it may never even be screened. I certainly doubt it'll still be in cinemas by the time I get back down to Stoke, anyhow, which is a pity because I'd really rather like to see it in one.
