Plot
Mark is a wannabe actor, penniless, clueless, and inept. He cares for a brother who's paraplegic, and he has a girlfriend, Sally, who wants out of the relationship. His idea of life is to go to the occasional audition, dodge his landlord (having spent the rent money Sally gave him), give Sally a hang-dog look, and talk with Pearce, who lives upstairs. Mark's flat is in disrepair: the kitchen window slams shut, bits of plaster fall from the ceiling, a bulb fizzes, and the sitting-room chandelier sways. When an awful accident happens, Mark freezes, which precipitates additional accidents; he finally calls Pearce, perhaps the worst decision possible. Will Mark come to his senses?

Pierce: And, I just want to say now before we get into this, that you are being very critical of pretty much everything I'm coming up with right now, and that's making it a bit hard, I have to say. Just a bit. And I would really appreciate any kind of support, or indeed presence, that you could muster so I didn't feel like I was trudging in a void, like a fucking ghost, alone. Ok? Cheers.
Mark: When I left this apartment there were two dead people... How many are there now?
Pierce: What the hell is that?::Mark: Clarinet stand.
Mark: This is a lie Pierce.::Pierce: Shut up! It's not. It's the new truth.

This the part here?::Casting Assistant: Yeah.::Director: Doesn't really matter whether he looks like, does it?::Mark: I was going to say, uh, I really like the script.::Director: It's a good script.::Director: [phone rings] Okay thank you...::Casting Assistant: Great, thanks Martin.::Mark: Mark.
Pierce: What are you going to do? A frap in the eye, or a fucking clarinet up the hole?
Pierce: Can you please just tell this woman what has happened in this flat, okay? And, I'm going to make tea. I'm going to make tea.
Mark: What we *do* have from today is a good story for your script.::Pierce: Who do you want to play you?::Mark: Me, I'm playing me.::Pierce: You're too old.
[last lines]::Pierce: You okay? I have to get back to this. I have to carry on with this...
Pierce: Mark, Mark when I went upstairs there were two people who were not alive in your flat, weren't there?::Mark: Yeah::Pierce: How many are there now?
A film, also called a movie or motion picture, is a series of still or moving images. It is produced by recording photographic images with cameras, or by creating images using animation techniques or visual effects. The process of filmmaking has developed into an art form and industry.
Films are cultural artifacts created by specific cultures, which reflect those cultures, and, in turn, affect them. Film is considered to be an important art form, a source of popular entertainment and a powerful method for educating – or indoctrinating – citizens. The visual elements of cinema give motion pictures a universal power of communication. Some films have become popular worldwide attractions by using dubbing or subtitles that translate the dialogue into the language of the viewer.
Films are made up of a series of individual images called frames. When these images are shown rapidly in succession, a viewer has the illusion that motion is occurring. The viewer cannot see the flickering between frames due to an effect known as persistence of vision, whereby the eye retains a visual image for a fraction of a second after the source has been removed. Viewers perceive motion due to a psychological effect called beta movement.
I don't like the film
I don't like the film
Play it all back
Play it all back
And I don't like the scenery
And I don't like the set so
Pull it all down
Pull it all down
But I like the actors
And I like the show
We're so exposed
We're so exposed
Anything can happen
Anything can happen
Don't let them see
Don't let them know
And you wonder why
And you wonder why
Turn off the lights
