Rumbo, you were there too!!!  How did you like the movie?

[rumborak]

Great movie,  I totally loved it. What totally boggles my mind is how they got the footage of Lerx breaking the news to his parents that he'd quit school.  Why the hell would you have somebody run around with a Super-8 during a conversation like that?!

I know, That ran though my mind too.  I loved his teenage naďve about not wanting to finish high school.  I have a new appreciation for Billy Corgan.  i didn't know how articulate he was and how passionate he was about the art of a song.

Also posted on the Rush Thread,

I got to meet and talk to Donna Halper. She gave us some great insight on how she hepled Rush and how a DJ could break a band(the old, word by mouth).  I personally asked her about Jann Wenner, who started Rolling Stone Mag and the Rock N Roll HOF and she said directly to me about him,  "He told me that Rush would be in the Rock N Roll HOF over his dead body.  You could only imagine what went through my mind.

[TL]

I can't wait to see this. It's playing in Halifax, but the only showtimes are at 11:50pm. I'm obviously still going, but that's just strange, especially with the sheer number of theaters in the greater Halifax area.

It's showing for one night only in a cinema in Aberdeen tonight.

I'm tempted to go but...I dunno. Don't know many people who like Rush

[Sigz]

You need to go with someone?

[AcidLameLTE]

It feels weird going to the cinema by yourself.

[Sigz]

You noob.

[AcidLameLTE]

I know. I just asked someone if he wanted to go see it but his sister is visiting him tonight

[rumborak]

I also would like to point out that Sebastian Bach looks like shit these days.

And, that Billy Corgan is the man. Damn, that guy had a lot of good and interesting things to say.

Do you guys not listen to Smashing Pumpkins?  Corgan's got some great stuff.  It's almost like people thought he was a pre-verbal caveman or something!

I have their cd's but when you here what Rush meant to him and how he articulated it, you'll understand.

Ah... I shall look forward to that.

I think that's the reason why he got so much screen time, because he really said things one recognized in themselves. When some of the others (including MP) said stuff, it was more like "eh, another musician who happens to be a Rush fan".

As a director, Sam Dunn couldn't leave what Billy said out.  I thought exactly what he said a a kid and I 'd bet that's how many young men thought of Rush.  I agree about MP.  I connected with Billy.

This is exactly what I was thinking. It wasn't even just a home video recording because there were camera cuts? I'm so confused, but I might hire a film crew to record my conversations in case one day I'm super-famous and want to make a documentary on myself.

That's from a 1971 documentary (Run Wille Run?) which I think was finally released about 5 or 10 years ago. I don't have a copy yet, but it's supposed to be a more honest version of the kind of thing I guess is on MTV now before there was MTV.

They put a bunch of kds together at random in some house and recorded what happened.


I'm supposed to see the Rush doc in just over 24 hours now.  The DVD with the bonus footage is about three weeks away. It just keeps getting better.

Interesting. Because when he spoke at the Pink Floyd's induction to the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame I really didn't feel any sympathy towards him. He really must have loved Rush, then.

[TL]

Billy Corgan indeed spoke very well in the doc. I have a new found respect for him.

Also, at the screening I was at, a few people in the audience cheered every time MP showed up on screen.

[blackngold29]

Really looking forward to this, everything Sam Dunn does is pretty much awesome.

[chrisbDTM]

i liked MP's quote,

"i can play yyz, but can you play la villa strangiato?"

[Samsara]

Thanks for the info, Rum. I have my Blu ray copy on pre-order. Can't wait for it to get here.

Not much of a Corgan fan myself, but he pretty much nailed it. He and Trent Reznor articulated what needed to be said. Both of them got it.
