I've got it. I actually haven't watched for a long time so my memory has faded. I thought he was quite good??? I'd have to watch it again though. Have you seen it?
no I haven't seen it unfortunately I don't believe my VCR is capable of playing UK VHSs in PAL format, all that crap. I always see copies being sold on eBay, and I always check to see if maybe, just maybe, it will be in a US format..not yet though!
I have it on Betamax format. its been about 17 years since I saw it as I dont have a betamax player . I think it was great but for me even seeing Bob talking is great.
Hi fodleg, welcome. The north american members are growing here, eh? Franna coming on here and all too...
I'm like 95% sure it never got released in the US. I wish someone would make a region zero (lol) DVD of it. I'm not about to go out and get some random PAL VHS player to lug around just for one movie...even if it's about a pool-playing Geldof ...
Malteserat, yes anything Geldof, speaking, singing, movies, photos, audio, etc - is good lol. I mainly want to see it b/c he actually enjoyed making this movie more than The Wall (which I loved him in, too)...and, if he actually does more here than just sit around watching TV and getting high - save for a room destruction here and a body hair-shave there, and a neo-Nazi rally elsewhere - then that'll be a treat. and of course there's his first on-screen 'laison,' as he calls it...
Jules - no rush, just whenever you find those rare, precious couple of hours...
I taped it when it played on Showcase (the Canadian equivalent of Showtime in the US) a few years ago. I agree with the general view that the movie is a little weak plot-wise, but not terrible, and Bob is quite good in it. Anyway, it may pop up again on Showcase or IFC (Independent Film Channel) sooner than it ever comes out on North American DVD -- could always try emailing those channels a request, in fact.
we must get seriously left out here in australia... before this message forum never even knew bob was in any movies...now must see these movies...and ideas on how to get them???
I must sound like a bit of a banana asking this question but what is the basic jist of this film? I've seen it on sale a couple of times on ebay but you know what seller's descriptions can be like...bit rubbish!
Is it a documentary? Is the name of the film a coincidence?
