New Syd Barrett/Early Pink Floyd Film

[Syd'sSexy]

Sorry about that Shannon. You are right, and thanks for posting it. I guess I was expecting something of reasonable quality. Most of the time I couldn't even make out who was being filmed it was so washed out and jumpy.

You know, I didn't post this to inspire a discussion on the point of it; I posted it so those of you who enjoy early Floyd can check out a rare piece of film of them - that's all. If you didn't enjoy it, that's fine, but is it really necessary to post about how much it sucks?

Relax ... don't take it so personally ... it's not your fault it's a pile of cack. You're initial post said "looks interesting" ... that invites opinion ...hence the replies ...

I thought it was interesting vid, not groundbreaking by any means, but fun to watch. The musical accompaniment was hard to complain about; a little early Floyd does the body good.

Very true! Regardless though, just watch the film and shut the hell up!

SS, no worries, hun! I was just being a big fat baby about the whole thing. If some of you don't dig it, who am I to tell you not to make comments on it. Truth be told, when I posted it initially, I hadn't watched it. Now that I have seen it, it has kind of lost its wow factor a bit. Still, it's Syd and I like my Sydney.

A couple of dimes from me...

Leo DiCaprio - David
Depp - Syd



Heath Ledger might have been a good Nick...

[Damn!t]

I think that PublicImage would be a perfect Syd in a Floyd movie.

[moom]

I'd be David

What the fuck would Weird Al Yankovic be doing in a movie about Early Pink Floyd ?

[Damn!t]

Nah.

this is short-sighted Sly Stallone in a movie called Rambo 10. ...extended edition... with visual effects.

Nooooooo, that film's the equivalent of The Satanic Bible in the land of Syd.

Have you read LaVey's work? I found myself drawing parallels with some of his less far-out stuff.

Considering the context surrounding what was said this is probably the most blatant piece of name dropping i have ever seen on the forum

But out of curiousity what would you qualify as his less far out stuff, because i was under the impression that he only wrote like 4 or 5 books which have since become 'favourite books' and 'very misunderstood' for emos all over the world. From what little i've read of it, i see it as a lifestyle about as credible as Luke Rhinehart's, (thought i would name drop too) but without being a work of satire. Would be interested in being proven wrong though
