Only 112 days until the tATu movie is released. I posted a preview from it on the FMU blog yesterday. It looks quite promising.

Gene:
Oh, geez... what's next on wfmu? Ruki vverh (translation: hands up)? :)

9:19am
john from Oslo:

Gimme gimme
Hands up, baby, hands up,

Parq:
You are getting sleepy. You are getting very sleepy. You are going to your checkbook and sending WFMU a boatload of your money . . .
9:24am
Vicki:
Hey John from Oslo, could you drop me a line please - I need to ask you a question - you can contact me through www.wfmu.org/playlists/PL. Thanks! Vicki
9:24am
Trish:
Hahaha. A read, live, staged, pre-taped, fictional perfomance.
9:32am
Listener Dave:
Can the t.a.t.u movie be works than "You Can't Stop The Music"? Or "Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The Park"?
9:35am
Listener Dave:
Sorry, that's "worse"
9:35am
Ken:
Worst music moveis I've seen: Sergeant Peppers, The Doors, A Night In Heaven, Footloose
9:35am
Vivian:
Or Xanadu?
9:37am
Vicki:
Leave off Xanadu, the soundtrack is fantastic!
9:39am
John from Oslo:
Xanadu has that great Olivia Newton John / The Tubes song, n'est pas
9:40am
Sarah:
The Phantom of the Paradise:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071994/
9:40am
Parq:
Streisand's "Star is Born". And though I know people disagree, I hated Ken Russel's "Tommy."
9:40am
delos:
the spice girl movie sucks
9:42am
s808:
such pretty music. so 80's sounding...camera obscura...more please of this jangly brit pop.
9:43am
dieuwke (from holland):
i'm getting married in februari, does anybody know a song that we can play at the ceremony?
9:45am
Vivian:
Dieuwke, may I suggest 'Night and Day'?
9:47am
mouse:
Wedding music: Not Gonna Get Us by t.a.T.u., of course!
In 1 year the USD has dropped with 1 Norwegian kroner. So a contribution worth $100 would be $17 less than last year out of a Norwegian pocket. Imagine if this holds up the next 6 years! Boy, will I have a shitload of t-shirts...
Footloose!?!?!?!
That is a fantastic movie! I just revisited it with my 10 yr old daughter. The film stock, the cinematography, some of the music, Kevin Bacon's hair, John Lithgow's acting. Though the dialogue is not great there is no fat, it is quick and tight like a pulp western. Lori Singer need to eat a sandwich though. I do lament that Sarah Jessica Parker went on to such fame. Don't dis Footloose.
9:59am
MOUSE:
Everybody cut, everybody cut.
10:01am
Mouse, again:
Worst rock & roll movie: Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains.
10:03am
dei xhrist:
what about Spice World? It's worth watching for the cameos alone.
dieuwke : I wanted the theme from Phantom of the Opera (tocotta & fugue in D minor I think), but in the mad rush to clean house before the ceremony, it got lost. So instead, bride dei entered to Kronos Quartet's Early Music.
10:03am
Puerto Rico:
I liked the De Artsen that was really cool. Keep up the cool jams.
10:04am
Pietro:
Song Remains the Same, The Wall, and lest we forget, the Tom Petty movie Bogdanovich just did--like we need 3 hours of that mediocrity? Krikey.
10:04am
Mike Harding:
The Spice Girls Movie gets my vote.
10:04am
dave in vermont:
"Almost Famous"
10:04am
lee:
worst rock films: "purple rain", "rock star"
10:05am
HoofHearted:
What about Saving Private Ryan?
10:06am
Vicki:
The Spice Girls movie - I have never seen it and it's the worst movie I've never seen.
10:06am
Irwin Chusid:
Worst rock movie nomination: "FM"
10:07am
Ken:
Wow, Irwin - you're right. FM really is up there. Truly, truly awful. I thought Saving Private Ryan was good, except for the part about World War Two.
10:10am
Wes:
My Polish Princess just came into the office, maybe some day I'll get up the nerve to ask her out....
10:11am
dave in vermont:
I could maybe go with "Purple Rain"-Great music terrible move. But "FM"? that inspired "WKRP" and has one of the great covers for dead air of all time.."...a track from the best of Marcel Marceau"
10:19am
dieuwke:
just listened to the kronos quartet, it's nice but i'm looking for happy music. thanks for the suggestion.
10:20am
Mike Harding:
Lets have a minute's noise for Marcel Marceau! In Memoriam...
10:21am
Vivian:
Moulin Rouge needs to be added to the worst movie list. Sheer torture. I sat through it only because someone I had a crush on thought it was the best movie. Argh!
10:24am
Poj:
Worst Rock and Roll movie? The Apple.
10:25am
BillyJam:
worst rock related movie I have seen would be Gus Van Sant's "Last Days" about Kurt Cobain - which was so torturous to watch that by the end of it I was ready to blow my own brains out! Meanwhile the best remains Spinal Tap
10:26am
dave in vermont:
my co-worker who is also not supposed to be listening to music at work agrees with Vivian re: Moulin Rouge, though I disagree for reasons to visceral to express.
10:29am
Michael:
Irwin is right about FM. I've been watching a lot of rock doumentaries lately and I gotta say there's a whole bunch of bad rock docs too - many without any context or even a reason to be made for that matter. One of the worst I saw was something they used to play on Channel 13 eons ago "Music from Big Sur" I think it was called. Ugh.
10:34am
John from Oslo:
"Detroit Rock City" is terrible AND co produced by Gene Simmons from Kiss, funny though since the whole plot is about some Kiss-fans trying to get into a Kiss concert (sic)
10:34am
pat:
The best: Head
10:40am
dei xhrist:
definately, Head is great. Even if you're sober. And in the "best" direction, allow me to add An American Astronaut. It's not about rock, but it is a movie length music video so it almost counts. Plus it would pair quite well with Head as a double feature.
10:42am
Ann Arbor Doug:
What did you think of "Dig?"
10:47am
Vivian:
I don't know about 'Dig' but I'm digging this set...
10:47am
Michael:
I saw Dig - it was interesting. Around the same time I watched "Mayor of Sunset Strip" about Rodney Bingenheimer and I'd recommend that as well.
10:49am
Gazoo:
Also on the good side, although it was just videos, Urgh! A Music War is really cool.
10:51am
Listener David in Budd Lake:
I have to agree, Detroit Rock City was pretty awful!
10:56am
Listener Sharon:
You're Gonna Miss Me, the Roky Erickson doc is a great, great film that put me in 13th Floor Elevators mode for weeks. Definitely recommend it.
10:56am
HotRod:
Wow. I haven't heard any Scamp titles in a while. Nice.
10:57am
dave in vermont:
can anyone else chime in on the atrocity of "Almost Famous" and the mischarecterization of Lester Bangs please?
10:59am
dei xhrist:
Life's too short to seek out popular movies that other FMU listers have dissed.
10:59am
Bad Ronald:
Yes, almost as bad as "Sid and Nancy"
11:01am
Parq:
I liked Urrgh too, and also the Daniel Johnston and Danielson Familie docums.
11:01am
Ken:
I actually thought that Almost Famous had a few redeeming things about it, including Philip Seymour Hoffman's portrayal of Bangs. And then there was the great Peter Frampton poker scene.
11:01am
dei:
SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID!!!
11:02am
Listener Sharon:
Oh come on, tell me you didn't love it when the white limo took Sid to heaven...
11:06am
dave in vermont:
In fact; "Almost Famous" may be my only Phillip Seymout Hoffman disappointment.
11:08am
monkey:
Resurrecting the pope....sexy!
11:09am
Listener Sharon:
Gotta love a pope who sounds like Bela Lugosi! In fact it gives you a whole different way to think about his "resurrection."
11:11am
Ken:
But Dave - Think about how much worse it could've been if they had picked someone other than Hoffman to play Bangs. It could've been like Hayden Christenson playing a buff and chiseled Bob Dylan in Factory Girl.
11:12am
Listener Sharon:
Another reason not to see Factory Girl!
11:16am
-max-:
Best rock movie: 200 MOTELS!!!
11:18am
Ken:
Actually, Sienna Miller was a good Edie in Factory Girl, but almost everything else in the film stunk. Although I've heard that the director's cut is way improved.
11:23am
Shaun of the Meds:
That Pope in the Fire picture is very convincing. I believe!
11:26am
john from Oslo:
OH NO - Wohin ist mein Wurst gegangen. My sausage has gone AGAIN!!!
11:28am
fach001:
die wurst, demnaechst als Hit auf der Soester Kirmes!
11:28am
dei:
Hier bist seine Wurst... (naughty innuendos weren't covered in high school german). Now I habe durst for german rap.
11:38am
Bad Ronald:
King Missile Rules!
11:42am
bpab:
Jiffy Pope, Jiffy Pope -- the magic sight!
When the faithwood gets wet, he's damn hard to light!
11:49am
pat:
Andy Moore rules. one of the most distinctive guitar sounds around now.
11:52am
pat:
actually it's Andy MOOR --> http://www.myspace.com/andymoortheex
9:24am
Bryan B:
Ken - I've been an FMU listener since the late 60's and your show is one of the best but the Pope on fire - WTF? Would you put up something like that with the head Rabbi of whatever or perhaps a recognizable Mullah? Just some trival hipster nonsense...
5:44am
James:
Is this last comment a complicated multi-layered self parody joke? I mean has FMU really been on air since the 60s? I can't believe it.
5:51am
Ken:
Bryan - The answer is Yes - if any particular religious leader claims that their (dead) leader has been manifested in a taco or a fire, I will report it. My promise to you. The Pope in the Fire was reported by none other than the Vatican News Service.
11:08am
James:
but.... it's not the pope on fire..... it's not a burning pope..... errr it's not an ignited pope..... it's the appearance of the pope as fire. in much the same way as jesus appears in clouds and such like.
