Do not watch The Lifeguard. That is all.

Watched the Patty Schemel doc,Hit So Hard, the other night (along with the Big Star doc). Both totally worth the time.

Big Star doc was good. I was concerned that it was going to be a lot famous fans waxing nostalgic for the first time they heard "September Gurls" and while there was a bit of that bullshit (the bane of all fucking music docs AFIAC) it was more minimal than many and there are enough interviews with people close to the band and the recordings to make up for the fact that Bell and Chilton are somewhat... elusive to say the least.

The Big Star doc is excellent -- also glad it didn't spend too much with the "famous fans" at the end (also, I saw that show, and it was *terrible*). Nothing on "In Space" either (good).

100% behind the Big Star doc recommendations - it's tremendous. In a way it might actually have been a worse film if it was made a few years earlier - the lack of direct contributions from Chris Bell and Alex Chilton keeps the mystique preserved.
The STRAIGHT TALK WITH MARGE THRASHER clip is hilarious. "We'd like to do one more tune..." / "Gustavo, we're not quite ready for it."

Wine plus double-feature of Dredd and Lair of the White Worm made for a fun night. My wife hasn't seen Altered States, so I said we definitely need to watch soon. She asked, "is it weird too?" "Of course!"

So great. My basic ambition in life is to have someone ask me "This is anti-music, is that right?" Tav's "Thank you very much" response to Marge's "That may be the worst sound I've ever come out on television" is perfect, as is his lovechild-of-David-Byrne-and-Ron-Mael image.

er, "ever HEARD come out on television", I mean

It would have to have MANY years earlier to get a direct contribution from Bell...

i watched 'new world' last night, which is this pretty incredible 2013 south korean gangster film. it's this almost perfect marriage between infernal affairs/the departed (undercover cop on a long-gestating assignment within a crime syndicate) and election/election 2 (two different crime bosses vying for a newly vacated throne.) loved it!

omg we watched miami connection last night and WOWa little too much fighting but i loved the revenge of the nerds orphan house/band concept
― mambo jumbo (La Lechera), Thursday, 2 January 2014 17:22 (ten years ago) link
what a grand picture that one is, we had the best time double featuring that w/'someone i touched' (that cloris leachman STD movie)
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Thursday, 2 January 2014 17:23 (ten years ago) link
maybe i'll suggest that one for tonight! nothing says "snowed in" like topical cloris leachman!
― mambo jumbo (La Lechera), Thursday, 2 January 2014 17:26 (ten years ago) link
"Topical Cloris Leachman" sounds like what you should use to get rid of an STD.

Preferred the Schemel doc to the Big Star one, mainly because the Schemel one is just more human and involving I guess. Also, I can never quite gauge whether I actually like on balance like Big Star or not. I'm ambivalent about a lot of Hole stuff too so I guess the difference was the difference here.
Must stop watching music docs before my recommendations get ruined.
