200 Motels

“Got to see this again, last night. Sat down with the kids and viewed it all the way through. My twelve year old was rolling on the floor. He's the musician in the family and I think he wants to be a professional and have groupies following him about. Actually, I think he got a bigger kick out of the classical musicians and their reactions to the Mothers.”

“Centerville: A real nice place to raise your kids...”

“I personally loved Jimmy Carl Black as Lonesome Cowboy Burt...”

“I also have a feeling that you, me and Tilt (and maybe a few others) will be the only ones on this thread...”

“i knew I would find you here tree.

play nice with the other freaks!!”

“I haven't seen 200 motels in a long time. I wonder if I can find it on DVD at Best Buy.”

“Nope, I'm here! I saw it about five years ago. It's a great film, but after a while, I had to turn it off 'cause it was making me dizzy! I felt like I took some brown acid or something and I watched it sober. Need to rent it again....”

“tree is that the one you got from ebay?
if so can we make a copy for chili?”

“Not yet available on DVD, and the VHS is out of print. Amazon has some used ones.”

“I got this for treebeard last year for his b-day.
its wild!!

”

“I've never even heard of it. What's it about?”

“One big acid trip, Nig.....”

“ummm it has blow up dolls.

does that peak your interest?”

“Frank Zappa's view of touring back in the 60's and early 70's and life on the road at the different locales across America...”

“And groupies, Nigal. Groupies!!”

“Never seem it. I feel so left out! ;)”

“yeah, that too...”

“Limpy, do you have a copy of it?”

“I do have a copy of it, Maple. But, the one I got from e bay was a rare one that's not easily available. It's 'Baby Snakes'. It's a copy, but a pretty good one. This is the movie that was released in a theater in Times Square around New Yaers Eve 1979-1980. Of course, I had to fly up from Florida to see it. It's a three hour concert movie with the band from the 'Sheik Yerbouti' days. The movie is about 3/4 concert footage and the rest is music and claymation. Great stuff, though...”

“Baby Snakes is the flick where Franks finger tips morph into ferocious lizard-type beasts and rip each other apart, right??? I love that scene.

Its a real scene, man. Really makes it. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.”

“Yeah, Limpy! That's the one...”

“Mapes, I rented it from the local independant”

“I would have to agree that was one of the all time rock movies of all time.

You have to include the Wall in there too.

“True dat, CMB! Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense" 0- great concert movie too...”

“"Stop Making Sence" is a classic!!

While I have to dissagree with "The Wall" (maybe I'm just sick of hearing all of those songs onthe ray didi-o ) I will have to present "Tommy" and "Quadrophinia" some of the top Rock movies ever made. I don't know if any of you might listen to Queensrike (off on the spelling), but there album (yes, I SAID ALBUM!!) "Operation Mind Crime" would be a great one to do.
Of course, it should go without saying the "Help" and "Hard Days Night" are good to!”

“good picks, Laq. No argument here. But I did like the Wall though...”

“what was the name of the zepplin movie?

alice coopers (welcome to my nightmare
kids are alright.

yup, i got to see all of them in one night!!”

“Song Remains The Same

And The Kids Are Alright was awesome...”

“SOB! Thanks Mapes! I must include "The KIds Are Alright". I can't believe I forgot that one! I must resign as President of the Keith Moon fan club....


Zep's is "The Song Remains the Same".....another classic.


How does everyone feel about the Spice Girls movie??? :)”

“Holy S--T! How could we leave out Woodstock? The granddaddy of ALL concerts! The big Kahuna!”

“i love bob geldof(sp)

it was a fun movie but you have to go with your teenage daughter!”

“you did see it with your teenage daughter RIGHT???”

“How does everyone feel about the Spice Girls movie??? :)


i thought that bit with the model bus jumping the bridge was hilarious. and Ginger was the best Spice Girl. nothing was the same after she took her trapeze-artist outfits and left the band. LOL!”

“WOW! someone really saw that movie!?!?!”

“LOL, i have a perverse affection for bad, terrible movies. i saw Waterworld and Battlefield Earth, too. however, Spice World was a pale ghost compared to thier spectacular awfulness.”

“aww come on, the scene where Bob let scary spice do his hair like hers was a classic!!



(i will now go bury my head in smae)”

“Right, go bury your head in smae...





What's smae?”

“Maybe tonight we will view the exceptional rockumentary, This is Spinal Tap.

"Marty DiBergi: It's very pretty.
Nigel Tufnel: You know, just simple lines
intertwining, you know, very much like.... I'm
really influenced by Mozart and Bach, and it's
sort of in between those, really. It's like a
Mach piece, really. It's sort of —
Marty DiBergi: What do you call this?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, this piece is called "Lick My
Love Pump."”

“lmao, Limpt. Great film. When I watch it, I turn the sound up to 11...




Anyone ever seen 'The Rutles'?”

“ohhh, the Rutles! i have it on tape! "the version BANNED by american television!"”

“Cool! Eric Idle classic!”

“yes, too bad he had to sully himself with crap like "honey, i shrunk the audience."”

“I'm convinced that there is so much crap out there on the market today that even the greats have no choice but to take work where they can get it sometimes. Every one of them seems to have at least a small percentage of garbage films to their names these days...”

“true, but that dosen't reduce the pain of seeing him trudge through it. we didn't know he was in it - that was just an unpleasant surprise in a barely endurable experience.”

“I'm with you on that, TB”

“Okay -- back into your cages, ya freaks!


Hey, what's this.... ?

The True Story of Frank Zappa's 200 Motels (1988)”

“Cage I have always been in a cage!!!!


Its called a job!

He He He He!!!!
