DavidE Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 I watched this movie for the first time in years. While I think I understood most of it, I'm going to have to spend the time to watch it with the commentary on.I turned the subtitles on pretty early and was able to catch a lot more of the background stuff which was cool.
paults Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 I'll sum it up for you: "Mommy made me go to school. I didn't like it. Wah..."
DavidE Posted September 17, 2005 Author Posted September 17, 2005 I'll sum it up for you: "Mommy made me go to school. I didn't like it. Wah..." Wah? Vox or Dunlop? ;-)I think it's more like:"My mom smothered me, my country killed my father, my school teachers stifled me and beat me because their fat and psychopathic wives would be them within inches of their lives so I'm totally crazy.
atquinn Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 I'll sum it up for you: "Mommy made me go to school. I didn't like it. Wah..." Clearly that movie was an inspiration to the nu-metallers of today . -Austin
Scottcrud Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Ask he who shall not be named, he thinks this is Pink Floyds best album, I'll bet he can give you a lot of insight on the movie...hehehe...
Eric Weston Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 LMAO- no commentary, no subtitles....just drop a tab & watch it...you'll understand.You will understand EVERYTHING.
Submariner85 Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Only thing I don't understand about the movie is why Bob Geldhof was chosen to play Pink, although his freakishness was well.....freakish.

But, that's the plotline for "Tommy"......
LordOfTheThighs Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 As far as "rock band" movies go ... "The Wall" doesn't even come close to "KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park". Now there's some SERIOUS drama
Submariner85 Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 As far as "rock band" movies go ... "The Wall"doesn't even come close to "KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park". Now there's some SERIOUS drama I remember waiting very very impatiently for that to come on. I musta been about 9 or 10 at the time and I LOVED that movie. But I saw it again after I grew up and whoa.............has to be THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE IN THE HISTORY OF MOVIES or a close second to Hercules In New York Starring a Dubbed Arnold Schwartzenneger. VH1 was showing some crap and that movie came up. According to KISS, some of Ace's parts were played by an African American because Ace was so F'd up at the time and the band wasn't getting along.
LordOfTheThighs Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 c1hamerplus,Don't get me wrong, KISS is my all-timefavorite band. Like you I was ready to have apremature - ejaculation waiting for that movie back in 1978.I was 16 years old, and really loved it. Seeing KISS otherthan in Hit Parader & Circus, was gonna be great. And it was.They were rarely on TV. It took me about 20 years to finallysee it again. I have the video now ... (gotta love E-Bay) ... andman, I just bust a gut laughing each time I watch it. But I stilllove it, for the UBER - Cheese, and memories of beingthat 16 year old kid.The Schwartzenneger movie is a great comparision!
Scottcrud Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 worst movie ever made? You've obviously never seen Ishtar, that is the worst movie ever made.
El Kabong Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Ok Eric, I just dropped a Tab. After I opened the can, diet cola fizzed out everywhere. Please explain how this is allegorical to the Pink Floyd movie. If this was an adult movie, I could understand, but 'The Wall'?
billhart22 Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Bump on Ishtar - one of the very worst movies.....even worse than Tres Amigos.Bill
Scottcrud Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Tres Amigos was great compared to Ishtar.
KorinaHound Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Ishtar worst movie ever.From The Wall emerged this great story a while back: CLICK THISKorinaHound
Steve Haynie Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I remember seeing The Wall twice when I was in high school. I understood it the first time around. The second time we saw it there were some people who never heard the album and they didn't get it. We tried to tell them to follow the lyrics and the visuals would make sense. One of my teachers saw it without ever having heard the album, and she misinterpreted the entire thing.As for KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park, Ace was likely messed up during the filming, but he was not replaced by a black stand in. His stunt double was black. You can definitely see that the person doing the acrobatics in the Ace costume is black. His face was covered in KISS makeup, but for some reason no makeup was applied to his neck.
HamerHokie Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I watched this movie for the first time in years. While I think I understood most of it, I'm going to have to spend the time to watch it with the commentary on.I turned the subtitles on pretty early and was able to catch a lot more of the background stuff which was cool. Overprotective mommy + overbearing teacher + cheating spouse = fascist dictatorTried and true formula. Seems a bit trite today. Stick to the album.
serial Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 "Ack!""Yipes!""Apes is moah like it"."Insufficient data at the moment Starchild"."Ack!"5 of my favorite lines from KMTPOTP. I recorded that thing with my Panasonic funky set (red) cassette/radio. I need to burn a copy of "Rip and Destroy"...Now the Three Amigos wasn't that bad, actually. "Tequila is like beer".
HAMERMAN Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Ask he who shall not be named, he thinks this is Pink Floyds best album, I'll bet he can give you a lot of insight on the movie...hehehe...Voldemort?
DavidE Posted September 19, 2005 Author Posted September 19, 2005 I really like 3 Amigos. Just bought it on DVD. Waiting for a time when my son and I can watch it together.
serial Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 DavidE-that's scary.We'll have to watch that at lunch sometime! That was the first commercial VHS tape I bought I think.
cmatthes Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Three Amigos? I actually like that one!"Look! It's a Mail Plane!""How can you tell?""Because it has the little ball thingies"(I don't know, something like that)"Tequila ees like Beer" still sticks in my head though.
serial Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 "Spaceballs" was a good one too. Better stop now.
