Cinco DeNio 5290 Posted December 23, 2019 OK, enough. Put your working-class hands together for the saviours of soul, the hardest-working band in the world. Yes! Yes, yes!  5 Share this post Link to post
Cinco DeNio 5290 Posted December 23, 2019 We're completing the Alan Parker trilogy (after Pink Floyd's The Wall and Evita) although I am looking at one or more of his movies for future picks. 3 Share this post Link to post

Cinco DeNio 5290 Posted December 26, 2019 I first heard of the movie in 1990 or 1991 when I donated blood at the Red Cross. A radio station was giving away CDs with each donation. I knew the movie was coming out soon so I took the soundtrack CD and loved it. Saw the movie and liked it then too. I have watched it off and on since then. Read the book before and am reading it again preparing for next week. 1 Share this post Link to post

Carrying on the theme a little, the video for Try A Little Tenderness was playing a lot on MTV and such. I can't find the video version but here's a clip from the movie. This video was a big reason I wanted to see the movie.  2 Share this post Link to post
Cinco DeNio 5290 Posted December 27, 2019 The guitarist in the movie, Outspan, is Glen Hansard. He was the lead and a co-songwriter in the movie Once. These are his only two movies. He also did a voice in a Simpsons episode. The Commitments Once 1 Share this post Link to post
Cameron H. 23786 Posted December 27, 2019 Since HDTGM dropped a re-release of Reindeer Games this week, should we do two weeks of The Commitments to keep us on track for off-weeks? Based on what Cinco just said, maybe we could double up with Once? 1 Share this post Link to post

I approve of doubling up on Once. That can be my next pick so no one loses their turn. (I've never seen Once. I know it's been made into a successful Broadway musical.) 1 Share this post Link to post

I don’t think anyone needs to lose a turn.  I just figured it would be a way of keeping us on track. Share this post Link to post

I agree. I just meant I didn't want it to be credited to someone, to have a pick forced on them. 1 Share this post Link to post

No, everything will remain the same. I just figure this gives us two movies to discuss to stretch out the time. 1 Share this post Link to post
