OK, this is going to be a first:

I never get a chance to say this, so thank you for the opportunity, but no, I haven’t read the novel. I’ve seen the movie, though.
To be honest, I had no idea there was a novel. The David Cronenberg movie is a masterpiece. It’s one of my favorite movies. Strangely, I never investigated where it came from, and it’s a bit of a shock to discover after all this time that there is a novel behind the film.
Hah! There’s actually a book, wow. I don’t think I’m going to read it because I’m too attached to the film. Plus, what’s great about the movie is that there is no story. It’s all about the image, the sound, the feel. It’s also such a perfect 1990s movie.
I want to watch more movies, but nobody makes masterpieces like Crash any longer.
