I have An Addiction

[Marky Dread]

I watched it as I watched Spinal Tap and Bad News. Unsure what was real.

Spinal Tap and Bad News are both spoofs and utterly brilliant. That Bros crap doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath.

To be fair, it has gained a bit of cult status as unintentionally bad tv. If it was staged that is another matter, I assumed it was real.

Seriously bad in my opinion deliberately using their mum's death for the added sympathy vote. Truly fucking awful stuff.

Well it was the car crash element I found fascinating, I was expecting it to be a run of the mill whitewashed doc but it was anything but.

It's everything I hate. Two rich primadonnas bitchng at each other as if their music was relevant and even valid.

That was the comedy to me.

I get Marky’s point about their Mum’s death being used for dramatic affect but their behaviour couldn’t be staged they both came across so unbelievably badly

They were both playing up to the camera bringing out the very worst of their character. Totally false with the hope that this would make the film a success and it worked to great effect.

If you are just playing up to the camera why portray yourself so badly it is cringeworthy to watch.
I hadn’t heard of it before the other night was the film successful then? What happened with the reunion presumably they played O2 at least once as that was where the film ended.

Initially they announced a lot of dates but the places were not selling. The did play the O2 my ex went to see them she said it was nowhere near full. After the film was a bit they announced some more dates.That's why the film feels forced and the bitchiness over emphasised. They knew their time was up.

Their time was up?? They hadn’t played for nearly 30 years and I don’t think I ever heard one of their songs ever played on the radio in that time or ever heard them mentioned.
They should have stuck to their successful day jobs.

Yeah I don't mean their career was up. But the reunion shows were nowhere close to the success they thought it would be. One of them has a production company and appears in movies usually low budget stuff. But their glory days were well gone.

Yep their time was up 30 years ago and the lack of any airplay for their songs and the fact they were never thought of again after they split should have been an indication that a reunion wasn’t really needed / wanted.
There was one jarring moment in the film where they said Luke’s Vegas show was second only to Sinatra????

It was very popular.

Whilst I like some Oasis albums I am in the Noel camp not Liam however watched this documentary last night and it was good.
Liam will always be Liam but thought it was refreshingly honest.
