slightly ashamed to say it's taken me a while to register here, even though i've been a fan since 'small time'.
As soon as i saw 'small time' i was hooked. i loved the way that it's imperfections made it brilliant, that the characters were so like people i had met, the way the actors looked like they were having a ball in those shellsuits, and the fact that the sunhouse soundtrack totally blew me away.
The East Midlands connection also plays a part for me. I spent a few years down there in the 90's and share in equal parts good and bad memories of that time. I also remember seeing a bunch of people in a charity shop in nottingham around the time small time was made (and before i had heard of shane), larking about with 80's style shell suits, and have always wondered if this was shane and co.!!??
I always get a massive buzz when i know there's a new meadows film coming out. I can't wait for the rollercoaster ride of emotions that they induce in me, and there's no other film maker who can engage me totally like that. I really love the humour in shane's films, but ultimately it's the darkness and the melancholy that strikes home the most.
I even enjoyed 'once upon a time...' lol.
