Hedwig and The Angry Inch

I am sure there are many and this movie just ripped it off. I don't know much about movies though. What other movies feature an "angry inch", perchance?

"Hedwig" was a blast, btw.

The songs are lovely, except "Random Number Generation", which stinks.

And it was awful nice of them to namecheck Nona Hendryx along with the other more obvious rock goddesses in "Midnight Radio". So yeah, everybody go see it.

The guys from Soulcracker were sitting behind us, and my friend had to slug me in the arm to keep me from making cracks after they told us who they were(this is a coupla months after Bands on the Run had wrapped).

The movie adds some nice things (the bathtub jackoff) but Velvet Goldmine is more ambitiously cinematic (on a bigger budget, I imagine). Both suffer from a certain pomposity hard to escape in spinning rock myths.

yeah, i really like this movie

I haven't seen it since it first came out. I should remedy that. I listen to the sndtrk a lot though.

i haven't seen it since then either but it just came in netflix and here i am watching it

Hedwig's one of those movies that didn't wow me at first tho I liked it, but days afterm I kept remembering parts of it later and realizing how great it was.

Velvet Goldmine is the complete opposite. Candy coated movie that's fun to watch, then later you realize that you were ripped off of your time (and/or money) as the days go by.

The scene where teenage Tommy Gnosis glosses the demiurge idea always gives me some fine quality glee. Lil' dude all inventing gnosticism then getting makey-outey. It's so right and natural.

It's also v funny to me too, his name is GNOSIS he just said all this GNOSTIC shit DO U SEE?

But then he sings "Osiris" as "The Cyrus" which is comedy gold. I think they try to make him sympathetic but he comes off in so many ways as such a vapid guy.

Hello.

Saw it last night. Super polished and the story and music holds up like a motherfucker but this somehow lacked an edge. The culture's changed, that's part of it but some of it is just broadway? And as good as NPH is (and he's clearly given himself over to the role entirely) there's something sitcom-y about his delivery that he just can't dodge. Dude is in fucking incredible physical shape tho'.

Barney and the Angry Inch?

"my mother made my tits out of... wait for it... ......"

We lucked out on a ticket lottery and saw it tonight with JCM himself! Hard to see how NPH (and Michael C. Hall too?) could avoid being hammy about it.

Watched this on vid for the first time in forever on Sunday, since the ladyfriend had never seen it. Still great. Never noticed before that Stephen Trask is playing a Gibson Flying V, same guitar wielded by Hüsker-era Bob Mould, Bob also playing lead on the soundtrack album.

Still need to see a live production.
