SLC PUNK seen it?

Ahh.. a post SLC punk... Well i do like matthew lilliard, but SLC Punk and its ideals on Anarchy are completely wrong to me, its not all just fighting, partying and sleeping in late among other things.

 

Funny movie, my friend recommended it to me, still, I agrre with you Vegetarian Barbarian.

I still prefer Suburbia, now that's a movie. Plus it's got The Vandals, DI and TSOL, so you can't go wrong.

 

great movie, horrible acting.

 

I dont, any movie that trys to show the world what "punk" is, and then seeing SLC Punk, just makes people who are into "punk" look like jackasses, to me. Suburbia was alright though. But we all have our tastes, i can respect that. Hell, i liked The Notebook!

 

funny note on SLC punk, a lot of the extras and minor actors were Mormons (a former co employee roomed while on his mission with one of the guys who played a mod!)

As far as suburbia... I liked it when I was younger, but I hate it now. It is a terrible look at punks, makes them all look like stupid, hopeless, neanderthals. Also has strong homophobic messages, and no characters i sympathized with. I wished they all would have died. Not too mention it has Flea. (i like rhcp a little, but again, major label sellouts)

 

Man i love Stanley Cubrick movies.. i do think its dumb how punks and shit dress up like droogs and all. But the storyline, how they brainwash him, the sex scene and songs. Its hilarious

Matthew Lilliards mohawk in that one scene is real. That was the first scene shot for the movie. They put a cap over the sides so it looked like he was bald (hence why people think his mohawk was fake). Then they cut his hair to make it the short blue it was the entire movie.

 

I have this movie, I found it to be entertaining, anyone know of movies that accurately depict anarchism or punk lifestyle? i would love to watch 'em... i've seen SLC and Suburbia, and this documentary called "Afro-punk"...

 

Repo Man comes to mind... great fucking movie, great fucking soundtrack, certainly not for all tastes, but I think Alex Cox is brilliant.

DUDES comes to mind, but only cause it's silly and also by Penelope Spheeris (of decline and suburbia fame... later she did wayne's world ) about punks becoming cowboys.

Romper Stomper is another one I like, though it's about nazi skinhead punks in Australia, but they get destroyed by a huge mob of viet namese! Russell Crowe's first movie.

 

I like, stupid ending, find some anarcho docos, movies just mess things up haha

and: stanley kubrick is a genius

 

whoa there,
A Clockwork Orange is an excellent movie and excellent book
and also thats a wild generalization. Most punks who worship A Clockwork Orange are street punks who jerk off to images of themselves drinking beer and "doing punk rock shit"

 

u only get a clockwork orange which is! a bit of a mish mosh after repeated viewings, the books probabaly better in that context and there are those who lived and died by it but that could of also been a reflection of their lives, no fluffy pups, doesn't exuse crap behaviour which the movie was also trying to portray, in that instance it failed

 

It's a good moive. I saw it a long time ago on Russian subtitles, and me liked the movie.
Getting to the middle of the movie's interesting and sometimes funny, but then begins a kind of grim philosophy. Bob himself is poorly .

 

Honestly, I only managed about 20 minutes of this movie before I got seriously irritated with the main characters. The movie portrayed anarchism in a negative and completely misguided light. Should I have watched it until the end - did it all of a sudden turn round and start talking about kropotkin and bakunin?

 

Just wondering...
Does anybody know anything about the band Fifi that did the awesome cover of The English Beat's Mirror in the Bathroom for this movie? I've googled and googled them, but to no avail. (Though there is a band called Fifi on the iTunes store... but they are terrible and I'm hoping it is not the same band.)

 

its probabaly is, i belive they are shit, the movie is stil mainstream shite so it follows
