freaking out about something else
May 27th, 2007, 10:58pm
 
i just saw the movie "once". it is so, so, very, very AWESOME.  it's a musical, and the songs are AMAZINGLY beautiful, and the story is simple and sweet, and you NEED to go see it ASAP.  
 
i won't say any more-- we'll talk when you've seen it.

Hm I shall indeed check this out. Is this a movie to rent at Blockbuster or search the dark depths of Ameoba for? I'll report back soon *salutes*  kiss

Finally jusy saw this...it was so wonderful. Even stopped on the way home to grab the soundtrack.  
 
I don't know what's more beautiful...his old guitar with the hole in it or a vintage gibson hummingbird.

Finally this movie is coming down to the San Diego area. The newspaper said it's "possibly the greatest musical of our time" or something to that effect...hm...

That statement isn't too far off...although Grease was pretty badass.  
 
I didn't realize till I got the soundtrack that the actors/musicians actually wrote all (but one) of the songs in the movie. A quick google and wala...The Swell Season....and they're touring.  
 
Fuck you west coast! Wink

I'm so glad that people on this board love the movie!  I ended up seeing the film because La Vie En Rose was sold out.  I love the movie so much I ordered the soundtrack that day.  I am glad it did not have the typical happy ending, also in any movie you see these days, (with the expection of Lost in translation) the man and woman who form a friendship end up together.  That's not how it always is.   Anyway, Once is one of my favorite movies ever.

Nina (or anyone else) if you are reading this, did you see Across the Universe (that Beatles musical)?

Nina, I'm hoping you either already knew about the Frames or you went out after seeing 'Once' and picked up the entire Frames catalog. They are an AMAZING band ... their whole catalog of work is amazing. Fortunately I've had the chance to see them maybe 5 times in the past few years (3 or 4 times at SXSW alone a few years ago).
 
Glen, the male lead in 'Once', is the Frames' lead singer.

never saw that one but if any1 wants to check out the site/info about it heres the link:
ww.foxsearchlight.com/once/
 
also try Across the Universe/U23D/U2 Go Home/Rattle and Hum/Big Beach Boutique 2/Awesome, I shot that/ and the greatest musical of all time...drum roll please...The Pirate Movie!!!  some of these are actually concerts on film but all are good, @ least 2 me
 
p.s. I got ninas new album @ the same time as I got the new Angels & Airwaves album. @ 1st I only liked the latter but after listening for a while I noticed the songs started growing on me...i really like that song that goes "my heart beats slow like a soft machine..." thats cool, cya

so i've FINALLY watched Once based on Nina's recommendation and hearing Falling Slowly .....it was a very cute movie. I liked its simplicity and lack of a hollywood happy ending.  
 
It felt very real and honest.
 
Great recommendation!

ALSO I forgot about the greatest of all time: Sweeney Todd. ABSOLUTELY the best musical, the contrast of the beautiful melodies juxtaposed against the overall goriness is a masterpiece of epic proportions...i gotta get the soundtrack just to get the songs outta my head! Roll Eyes
