i saw a trailer in the movies a while ago for a cop movie that had Roger's Berlin Comfortably Numb with Van Morrison at the very end. Although everyone hates that version, it worked quite nicely over the clip.

Was it in Van Wilder that the main character was depressed and was singing Comfortably Numb with headphones on? I saw that in some movie, but I forget which. I think he was singing in falsetto, which made it more funny. Damn, i wish I could remember...

i might actually be in this movie. it was shot here in Boston and I found where they were filming and just hung around in the background. Imagine being that close to Jack Nicholson! Looks like a good movie, even though it has Leonardo Decrapio in it

well the last I saw was in "The Children of Men".

One scene contains a car driving past a heavily guarded gate and over a bridge towards what is in fact Batterseas Power Station. Between the four smoke stacks of the power station can be seen a floating pig... 8)

I saw a trailer for BBC One's Panorama tonight, about an investigation into anti-depressants, which had a bit of Shine On You Crazy Diamond playing.

There was also an ad the other week for a Panorama documentary about IVF doctors which used Speak to me / Breathe.


Thought I'd mention.

There are loads of movies that use some Floyd (mostly ABitWp2) on soundtrack, mentioning them all won't do any good to this thread. Not that the topic here is soundtrack anyway :)

But to come to my point, my favourite exposure of Floyd comes in "The Squid and the Whale", where "Hey You" plays a prominent part of the story. And it gets played a lot!

Sry for the bump, wasn't sure if a new thread was warranted.

I just watched the 2008 film, The Rocker, and noticed that Matt (Josh Gad) was wearing a Division Bell tour shirt while laying down on the tour bus. I caught it, just barely. I believe he was on a top bunk, and was jokingly snoring with his eyes open or something. Very stupid movie. Anyway, it was this design:

There's a little piece of "One Of These Days" on an episode of Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" here.
You have an old thread about Carl Sagan here.
In the youtube comments there are several time marks to know where other pieces are into the episode, but not for "One Of These Days".
Since I'm a Cosmos fan since many years (I have a brief Cosmos youtube playlist here) I invite you to see the episode to find where "On Of These Days" starts.
Anyway, one of these days I'm going to put there where the little piece is.

I was just watching a show about fishing trawlers. The presenter asked the Captain "what is the most important part of equipment was for catching fish?" The Captain replied "the stereo" and turned up the volume.

What was he listening too i hear you ask? Nothing other than "High Hopes"!

p.s no the ship didn't have a cat called Lucifer Sam.

Ok not a movie or a TV show, but check out the second verse of this song by Dublin band The Pale

https://soundcloud.com/the-pale-1/what- ... -smiths-do

'White light through a prism, turning into a vision, that floats above the chimneys of battersea' - who could they be talking about!!!
