Xander ,'Conversations with Dead People'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
hahahahahaha.
damn.
Huh. That would be good, if that song had never been used for any other movie or vid....
Heh.
Heh.
Hee.
Was it used in a scene with
Yes.
Oh, sweet Christ. I'm glad I know that before seeing it, because otherwise I might have pissed off people sitting around me with my disgusted "Oh my GOD!"
t edit At least it's the Leonard Cohen version, if Amazon is correct.
But still. Bleagh.
Now I want the DVD, so I can edit that scene and replace the song with a Smurf or Chipmunks version.
Wow. I was betting it was used in the Dr. Manhattan and The Comedian burninating Vietnam scene.
I recently re-read the book, and thought like V for Vendetta, it's now an interesting historical study of the Cold War and Reagan/Thatcher era, but I'm hoping that the movie will at least be a touch better than V.
Oh, I know. We could take the scene, remove the music and replace it with "We Love the Moon," with the two Spongmonkeys superimposed over the screen.
I am a bit miffed that even the thought of that music being used for anything, in any film or tv show, makes me weep with hysterical laughter. I am laughing now, and I am not even watching it.
ETA- I am miffed because I LIKE the song!
Okay, I've posted a longform rant in LJ and I feel better now.
