Yes, I've seen that particular British movie- many, many times.
We make the odd good film. I'm not crazy about Velvet Goldmine, but I can see it's got something about it. And now the director, Todd Haynes, is making movies in Hollywood.
I'm not sure about the Trainspotting guys. They went to Hollywood and got burned and now I think they're back over here.
But there's so little continuity. A Brit director makes one good film and you guys poach him.
My favourite British film makers are Powell and Pressburger- they stayed over here and made a succession of weird, over-cooked, and brilliant movies through the 40s and 50s. They're the exception to the rule- almost the only one I can think of.
