s'p'n' scotch and listening mf doom, monkey suite/ can just make out some through my left ear, after an abrupt and painful shift of detritus/ all is quiet otherwise/ really want to watch a film but cannot think what/ besides after this is england i feel i'll only be disappointed/

I saw This Is England twice last year and loved it so much. I will admit that the thing with the much older Goth girl was a little unsettling (reminded me of Ratcatcher in that way), but as a whole, thought that it was a heartfelt account of the original skins.

yeah, i agree. i thought what was particularly remarkable about it was it built tension to an almost unbearable pitch then provided needed comic relief without interrupting the pace. and i think it was so successful in shocking because the violence, until the climax, is implied. as hitchcock said 'there's no fear in a bang, only in the anticipation of it'.
