Takeshi Kitano is my favourite filmmaker - I also enjoy the films of Takashi Miike almost as much and I'm a fan of Asian cinema in general.

David Fincher, Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, Sergio Leone, Stanley Kubrick, [vintage] John Carpenter, Ingmar Bergman, Shane Meadows, Andrei Tarkovsky and the Coen brothers are other favourites.

Favourite films:

Goodfellas
Fight Club
Kikujiro
Last Life In The Universe
Hana-bi
Hannah And Her Sisters
Taxi Driver
The Big Lebowski
Crimes And Misdemeanours
Kids Return
Annie Hall
The Bird People In China
Manhattan
Ghost World
Sonatine
Stalker
Dolls
Rainy Dog
Battle Royale
Clockwork Orange
Big Trouble In Little China

Books

Slow reader I am. Very slow. Murakami, McCarthy, Bryson and King are the ones I have a sustaining interest in.

Loratadine is an antihistamine otherwise known as Clarytin. I've been taking one tablet a day, as instructed, for hayfever. My hayfever has practically gone but I've noticed a very odd side effect.

My dreams have become very strange and incredibly vivid. I know someone else has also had the same thing happen to him, although I don't know whether he's also taking Loratadine or a different antihistamine.

Does anyone else on Collective take antihistamines for allergies? I've read about all kinds of side effects that have been stated on the internet and they seem to be specific to to the individual.

I'd be interested if anyone else on here has had experiences due to Loratadine or something similar.

I'm amazed that something simple like this, or nightmare inducing cheese, can have such effects on people.
