Dig!
If you have kids who spend too much time in the garage wanting to be rock stars, take them to see this film. Then they will study hard to pass all the accountancy exams in the world.There are two bands in this film. The bands used to be friends with one another. The first band is the Dandy Warhols, they are good looking and they play songs with funny lyrics and guitars. The other band is the Brian Jonestown Massacre. They take lots of heroin, have Mormon sideburns, and their songs are full of sitar orchestrations. Everyone in the film says that their music is great, but it sounds shit to me. I would never buy one of their albums. On the other hand, I would go to one of their live shows. These seem mainly to consist of either fighting the audience or the other people in the band. There is quite a lot of this in the film; you sense that the people who made the film had a large rucus selection to chose from. They stalk the Dandy Warhols for a while, too. On rollerskates.
I don't think this is as fantastic as everyone says it is. But it is still good. I think it would be a good thing to watch this on DVD perhaps, on a night when you are feeling despondent about your shit, soul crushing employment, because it could be much much worse. You could be him out of the Brian Jonestown Massacre.
