you stroke me like the rain

Ok so. Bowie threatened to sue. And this film isn't exactly the most faithful representation of glam rock. And, yes, the Iggy and Bowie characters are exaggerated a great deal. BUT. It's still a good film. Flaws to be sure. On first viewing one will find it quite incoherent. But on repeat viewing, most glam fans will dig it. Don't take this as a representation of how it actually was though... think of it as a highly dramaticized biopic of a composite Iggy Pop/David Bowie/Lou Reed/Brian Eno type guy. There's a lot of dudes makin out with other dudes. But I mean i guess the whole bi thing was a big part of the scene. Good film. March 31, 2008

Worth The $$

Wow - I love this movie. It's one that I had always wanted to own, because I would catch it on cable or whatever every time I could.

Totally worth the money! :) March 25, 2008

The Glam Rock Era and all the Glitter that wasn't gold

A film about a British reporter in New York in search of a 70's singer who staged his own death to escape from fame. One sees a bit of Bowie and Cobain in this gritty tale of the dark side of glam rock glitter and all its trappings. A very young Jonathan Rhys-Meyers showcases an incredible talent in this early movie. February 24, 2008

Eye & Ear Candy

SPOILER ALERT


Watching two of the hottest guys making out, well I must admit, it gets me hot! The music is great, especially if you are into the glam rock era. The cast is phenomenal...Christian Bale, Jonathan Rhys-Myers, Ewan McGregor, Eddie Izzard etc...all in one movie. I think this is more of a girl or gay/bi guy movie. None of my boyfriends have ever liked it lol but all of my girlfriends drool over it haha. February 12, 2008
