# heh ok :)
i'll shut up about it now. I've only seen the first 20 minutes or so of the film, tbh. It was at that point that I realised I was actually more bored than I would have been had I just watched the wall for 20 minutes.

# The epilogue
wasn't in the edition Kubrick read - but he didn't like it when he read it afterwards anyway.
