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.

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.

We know Ken as a director, and maybe as an actor, but he is also an author, writing both fiction and non-fiction books. Thus, in his writings, which of his books are the most highly regarded?

To be continued . . .

Mindbender, Billion Dollar Brain and Trapped Ashes come to mind.

If I wanted to impress someone by Ken's immense talent, I would not go near these.  I'd probably add Lisztomania but I know a lot of Ken fans, with very good taste, admire it.

I can't comment on "Mindbender," as I've never seen it. I agree about "Billion Dollar Brain." (IMHO) it is his worst film to date, that I have seen. As I have said previously, if I had connected Ken with the film, I might not have seen another of his films. I hate it so much. "Trapped Ashes." Good or bad, it was my best chance to see one of Ken's films on the big screen, but it never played in any of the cinemas in the city, where I live.

"Lisztomania" Many of Ken's films divide his fans into those who hate the film, and those who love the film. "Lisztomania" perhaps more than most. But thank you for your suggestions, as it gives me something to think about. Anymore suggestions from any of Ken's fans?

Another question. This one is about Russell.

Has Ken ever made a "bad" film? I don't mean one we dislike, as we all have seen one or more of his films that we disliked, but a film that we have no reason to watch, excluding the fact that Ken directed it?
