Dantastic choice with a nice undoubtedly gory chicken connection Have you seen Hukkle (Hiccup)I haven't but that sounds good as well and people could talk over as has little or no dialogue maybe a double bill with Taxidermia as the main feature?

Double bills are the way forward if people have the patience for them. this film would demand a little bit of attention to get the most from it. most of the story is told in a visual way but there are a few subtitles...
well worth a look in.

Looks interesting; double bills sound a good idea, but probably best if the second in the bill is the less demanding...

sounds like a plan.
btw had a cursory search for hukkle - its by the same director as taxidermia but a bit harder to track down. will keep an eye out.
also i noticed that hmv have a box-set of jodorowsky films... :P
