[stinkfinger]

the new chris cunningham film with afx soundtrack. i just got it in today and the cover for it is classic. can't wait to watch the film

[stinkfinger]

i take it thats a "no" then....?

[gypsy_cream]

hehe aye.

[FiST]

are you selling it in the shop or did you get it from warpmart?

[stinkfinger]

i've got it in da sho[p for the bargain price of £10.99

[Loz]

how long is it?

[stinkfinger]

a whopping 6 mins approx

[Loz]

for a tenner?

I'm not rich enough to splash that amount, sadly.

[stinkfinger]

i'll wat6ch it 2nite and let u know 2morrow if its worth it

[Loz]

I'll wait until it's in a charity shop for 50p

[stinkfinger]

cheapo cunt

[Loz]

I did by the My Wrongs thing from Warp. That cost me 8 quid, which I thought was a bit much. Then 2 months later it was on Channel 4.

[stinkfinger]

surely they have more than 6 mins worth of footage they could stick on a dvd for fuxake

[Loz]

The My Wrongs dvd had almost nothing. It had the film. The original radio sketch. And then a stupid commentary by a runner (who knew nothing, and sounded like he'd never seen it before) who worked on the film. For some reason, Chris Morris finds it hilarious to put shitty commentaries on his DVDs (remember the Brass Eye one on the Drugs episode?).

[stinkfinger]

or the jam double dvd with over 300 mins of jam episodes, but half of that was just the same sketches but with a slightly differnt guassian blur effect. wot da fuk. that goes right over my uneducated head

[Tuttle]

symptomless coma i guess.
yes it is, yoa may call ya mother.... a last ones, i´m sure.


:illin:

[thembuzz]

fucker's not even out until monday. why you expecting us all to have seen it? i hate you!

[Hagbard]

Very characteristic of the early stages.

[JE:5]

won't that have been the 'late night' version that everyone always raves about and you think, "but it's just the same sketches with a slightly different gaussian blur effect..."?

Yeah but when you see it it's LATE NIGHT so you're probably ON DRUGzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Yer_Maw]

I absolutely loved the radio show. Amazing tunes as well as the comedy, I heard little fluffy clouds on it for the first time. Couldnt get into jam at all though. I think without the mixed in actual tracks between sketches and the video effects it was nowhere near as good as your imagination could make it by listening to it.

[pandaroid]

I like how now, thanks to the publicity photos, so many people have now seen cunninghams widely spread bum hole. And ball sac. And japs eye. And piles.

Nice touch!

[decadnids]

i am gonna snagg it from soulseek.

[Tec]

Support the music you love, snagg it from Soulseek.

lol

that's why radio is better than tv - you have to enter into the imaginary world like you do with a novel. with tv you just sit back and passively absorb it and so it's not as powerful. of course, you can't sit spraffing with your mates while you listen to a radio show, you got to concentrate on it, hence not so many people manage to get into it.

i still loved jam on tv. i find it hilarious. i'm weird tho.

it is a lot of the time, but what made jam so good was the amazing acting, the physicality of which you cant convey on radio. most tv is shit because the people making it dont seem to understand that it's a visual medium..

[blowfin]

ive seen the rubber johnny dvd and although its got a few horrible images its also got a few funy bits too. well, it made me laugh. as a video for an aphex tune goes its follows on from windowlicker nicely!

[blowfin]

the pictures in the book were more freaky than the video,all those part-hairy body parts mashed together-gross!

[pandaroid]

It's quite good fun trying to identify the various body parts too. I have hours of fun trying to look for his penis.

[JE:5]

Those pics are brilliant and totally disturbing at the same time. Makes you think about how you view the world and what humans could have evolved to look like if everything were different. mmmm lol

[pandaroid]

It makes me think:
I can see 3 bum holes, 1 x testicle, and 2 bum cheeks.

[civ]

[thembuzz]

Buy DVD in Warpmart here

Rubber Johnny is the latest creation from the UK’s most imaginative filmmaker. Featuring music by Aphex Twin, this nightmarish and hallucinatory experimental short film (approx 6mins) is accompanied by 42 pages of drawings and photographs - Cunningham’s first published book of original artwork.

On the night of Thursday 23rd June, a series of screenings of the entire film will be projected onto buildings throughout London, giving an opportunity to preview this visceral onslaught as well as see the terrified faces of unprepared passers-by.

You can see Rubber Johnny at the following detinations and times:

NCP Car Park, Brewer Street - 10pm
Natural History Museum, Exhibition Road - 11pm
Ann Summers, Old Compton Street - 12pm

[JE:5]

I was very close to buying it on Amazon with my £16 gift voucher but I got Brass Eye and A Room For Romeo Brass instead. ;)

[kams]

any other 'brass' related DVD's around?

[JE:5]

You know what, I only just noticed that myself when I was looking at the email confirmation. It's obviously some subconscious choice, hmmm, brass?

[Tec]

Nice one Fist, i may check that out.

[Lighter Thief]

And when you've had enough of the two of them you'll go out and purchase Brassed Off.

Good grief. I'm sorry.

[FiST]

no bother tec, do you think they'll have the afx soundtrack booming out of ann summers then?

[dan gulberry]

RJ is fantastic. Well worth a viewing (actually a quite a few of them).

Freaked out other people in the room though. Someone kept their eyes closed after the first 10secs.:-p

[JE:5]

I was quite disappointed in it to be honest, £10 for a 6 minute music video? It's a fuckin' disgrace!

http://www.entertainers.co.uk/images/comedians/bernard-manning/bernardmanning.jpg

[thembuzz]

but the book that comes with it is excellent. i've seen far lesser tomes retail for much more than 10 quid

[mattp]

I really liked the book. But I did feel the video was a bit short, the idea of the documentary was fantastic and I feel he could have expanded on this. I just felt at the end i wanted to know more about Johnny

[thembuzz]

yeah, i have to admit to having felt a little cheated on the film. i was loving the first minute, and then all of a sudden i was presented with an old music video, and not one of cunningham's best, either

still, substandard chris cunningham is better than most people's best, innit?
