This week we watched the film Sid and Nancy, and this has been a bit different compared to what we have watched the past few weeks. We went from films that depicted the craziness of high school in the 70s and some of the different shenanigans you could get into. This one took a different approach with a much slower tone. We had fast rock and cars, now we got drug addiction. I guess you can argue that they were smoking weed and that is kind of the same, but for our generation we don’t see it the way it was.

With this film all said and done, I am not sure if I will watch it again. It doesn’t mean that I did not like it, but it was not just for me. I think we have seen so many films that it is hard to see everyone as one I can fall in love with or really want to view again.

For me, I found the imagery and the songs really helped to show how crazy this was. It was insane to think about how this was. I can no longer be surprised by the actions that these rock stars get into after watching The Dirt.  This was a film that followed the band Motley Crue, who we hear about last week with Hot Tub Time Machine. I think any movie that takes a look into the music industry really open everyone’s eyes. I think if this film came out now, it might have been more popular. With so many that have come out like The Dirt, Rocketman, and Bohemian Rhapsody. Recently it seems that everyone wants to hear about the bands that they have grown up with. Maybe if they held off on the timing it would be better known. I have never listen to Sex Pistols before, but i have heard of them for some of the reasons that were shown in the film. Might listen to a few songs later.

Talulla started it off with our first cult film of the night, La Haine. Once again, a movie I have never heard of. I can be convinced to watch just because I am a sucker for a good soundtrack. I mean you cannot go wrong with some good songs and a good movie. The trailer was interesting, and I am not sure if I will watch it, but it may be easier to see since we are all stuck inside. The films that times of unrest and danger are the best to show how bad things can be and why we need change. It will be interesting when we get a film talking about some of the issue we are dealing with currently. I think I like these because so many films have so much passion and can really bring the viewer in.

I cannot believe that there is one rule and Pat broke it. Now he is asking us to break this rule for our discussion. This is wild, you don’t talk about fight club and yet here we are. I have only seen bits and pieces, but I know the film from most of the movie reference. Each week I hear people talk about these films and I think that I should watch it. With this one, it falls under the category like The Shining of why have you not seen this one yet. After hearing this one, I definitely need to just bunker down more than I already am and view a this one. Such a great film and cast from Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and even Meat Loaf. I am not sure what it is, but Meat Loaf has a way of being in cult movies. Since we saw him last year in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
