Hi all, 
a semi brief rant that may or may not be headed
straight to the trash bin:

Spoiler space (always wanted to do this)
















Ok, for you the lucky ones who have seen the third
film already (i'm really not going to go into what i
had to do to get to see it on the first day) - I
thought the train man at the beginning was very
UAable. Obviously the train and its running are his
obsession (apart from going to seedy S&M clubs, and i
really can't fault him for that) and as such he has
control over every thing that happens in the confines
of what is really a nicely thought out piece of
otherspace. Despite (or, more UA BECAUSE of) his claim
to be to be a god down there he is a scruffy loser and
in the pinch falls back on good ol guns and ammo
instead of mysticism. maybe just me, but i think he
would be a cool fucked up npc for the charactors to
mess with. i have always found the underground
uniquely disturbing on my few visits to the big city,
and there is a lot of atmosphere down there for me,
messed up people who really dont give a shit about
anyone else. if you have seen films like Mimic and the
Matrix trilogy itself i'm  sure you can see the
possibilities - lost in the dark in abandoned tunnels
with some nutter in rags jumping about the place with
a gun and his own handle on the universe (and thats
just in da club). Anyway, i like the idea, and you
should too. Cos down here, i make the rules...

Oli.

Every day in every way my short term memory, er...
