gudbuytjane Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Well, it definitely is an interesting document of the times it was made in. :) Overall I think it could have been half an hour shorter, as there was just so much trippy filler. When it was on it was pretty great--the Elton John "Pinball Wizard" sequence is iconic, as was the "Eyesight To The Blind" sequence--but there was no need to write even more material for the opera. Or to have Jack Nicholson sing, for that matter. I still do listen to the soundtrack from time to time, but I remove a lot of songs from the playlist. That version of "See Me, Feel Me/Listening To You" is pretty fab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) I love this movie. I saw it multiple times at the movie theater when it came out. I even dragged my mom to see it several times and she enjoyed it. It was so much fun seeing the band doing it. It was a long time before MTV. We didn't get much chance to see our favorite bands then on video like you do today. Edited May 31, 2015 by EagleMoon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I saw it for the first time on Showtime circa 1979. The Tina Turner/Acid Queen segment was the most memorable as was "Champagne" when Ann Margret starts tripping out and detergent suds pour of the TV set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Never seen it or heard the album either. Shocking I know. My sister actually had this album before I got my first album. She is a year younger than me. I remember it like it was yesterday. She had this and Jailbreak... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) I have Tina's biography and she was very hesitant about playing that role since it was about drugs. It went against her Buddhist beliefs. And her then husband, Ike, was furious when she accepted the role. She probably got beaten up over it. The part, believe it or not, was originally offered to David Bowie. The Acid Queen was supposed to be a "queen". The bad singer in the film was done by Oliver Reed.

RushCanuck Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I agree circumstanstantial tree. I couldn't figure out why Oliver Reed was cast as the step father. He seemed out of place imo, and his singing was weak. My opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad movie but those who haven't seen it should see it on MST3K since they make fun of it. "Dear Penthouse Forum, I am an average stuffed animal at a small mid-western college ..."
