Just watched Velvet goldmine..wow, it´s strong! Love the oscar Wilde..Dorian Grey empowered charisma and the following emptyness thing.....
Ewan is simply amazing ... the oily, leather pants, fire scene ;-P the roof after sex scene and the mournfulness at the end in the pub...
Christian Bale, having already risen in my view after the dragon movie has risen even further...

And Jonathan Rhys-Meyers .. first of all I´d never have recognized him as the same guy as the heartthrob of Bend it like Beckham ;-)
