This is pretty good. I grew up watching this movie so I sort of get flashbacks of watching Joe and Patricia getting shot out of the Volcano.

I saw a Busby Berkeley type musical this weekend and found myself thinking its main romantic theme sounded pretty shit in comparison to the one from Joe v Volcano. I will now download said theme and probably the Del Vikings song, though I can't remember much else from the movie that seems worth dredging up.

And for the record I am less impressed by the soundtrack mp3s and more impressed by the literary readings of this film on the "speculation" pages! This is almost as good as that academic journal on Buffy. Apparently I'd missed a good half of the Patricia-as-moon trope!

This movie is pretty much the I Heart Huckabees of the 1980s, only kind of sometimes better.

JVtV came out in 1990. So it wasn't the I Heart Huckabees of the '80s.

Okay, hold on while I commit ritual suicide.

It doesn't have to be Ritual.

This is my favorite movie of all time. Thanks for posting this!

You're Welcome. It's also a favorite of mine.

three years pass...

For a while, I left a MIDI file of the theme from this on my computer and used it to test/tweak settings for software synths.
