I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Re: Jonathan Rhys Meyers?
Having eyeballed the aforementioned trailer just now, I'd have to agree -- doesn't stop the actors in these things from bragging about the "research" that they did -- even when it's quite obvious that wasn't the case. The sad thing is, there's plenty of references (visual and film) that you can check out to try and recreate the era...but, like you say, they don't give a shit.Dont normally dismiss films on the back of 2 minute trailers but this one can go and kiss my balls. It's the same as when they made London Calling one of the anthems for the 2012 Olympics, the message bears no relation to what it's supposed to convey and they don't give a shit because the mass of modern consumers will just lap it up unthinkingly anyway. The fact they enlisted a heartthrob actor to play Strummer told you all you needed to know in the first place. If Meyers possessed even a shred of professionalism or ambition, he'd have done a Day Lewis or a De Niro on it and had half his teeth kicked in before filming. That attempt at a Strummer snarl is about the most pathetic thing I've seen in a film, ever. Lame-ass acting for a lame-ass film.
Might I suggest one other nomination: the guys with large mohawks running amok in Spike Lee's Summer Of Sam? As I recall, when somebody tried to pull him up on that point, he also claimed to have done his homework, too. Enough said on that one.Makes Sid and Nancy look authentic.

Not sure if that's the worst part or their balls to the wall Clampdown rehearsal.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

That movie actually was why I bought Who's Next. I did get into punk until a few years later, tho.Dr. Medulla wrote:Nor the guy going to England and becoming a punk after, apparently, hearing Who's Next.Chairman Ralph wrote:Might I suggest one other nomination: the guys with large mohawks running amok in Spike Lee's Summer Of Sam?

Re: Jonathan Rhys Meyers?
I still think it's weird they decided to make Paul the lead singer.
Faux Addendum: Re: the trailer, a shrug fro me. It's obviously not "about" the Clash in the biopic sense, so my sensibilities won't get too offended there. I dunno, it doesn't look that appealing.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

At the same time, real Joe pronouncements—e.g., "You make, you buy, you die"—could be just as uncomfortable.matedog wrote:"Wake the bloody hell up people!"

Re: Jonathan Rhys Meyers?
Just checked IMDB, Mick, Paul and Tops aren't even in the cast list, unless it hasn't been updated yet.
I kinda want to see this, but it probably won't show in my city.
