I unlocked this briefly and it was immediately spammed.
I think a human spammer does a test message, and the key strokes are logged. Then a computer uses the key strokes for future messages. This explains spam messages saying "this is a test".
I have locked it again.
Iain Fisher:
Spammers are targetting this post (I have deleted about 100 in the last week) so for a while I will lock it. To reply/ continue just make a new thread.

I think A British Picture is one of the better film autobiographies written by a director: skittish, rambunctious and effortlessly amusing. It ways it better conveys Russell's humour than some of his films.
Iain Fisher:
A British Picture, his autobiography, is my favourite. It is called Altered States in the USA. He has a good clear writing style. Ken writes in anecdotes, so you will not learn about the real Ken, he keeps this hidden, but there are good stories (some of which change over the years in interviews) and he does write well on directors he likes, as well as films and filming.
I think if his Times articles ever get collected and published then they will also become a favourite.
Violation is my favoutite fiction.
