terrible... so disappointed.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Without a doubt, this is an exceptional live video. It's fun to try and spot how many various weirdo crazies of the music world weave in and out of this visually drug-splattered slew of some of Ministry's greatest work (especially since a lot of these guys were known to look drastically different from one photo you'd see to the next). Chris Connelly, Killing Joke's Martin Atkins, Jello Biafra, and Nivek Ogre of Skinny Puppy are only a handful of the colorful cast that helps fill this video right back to the darkest corners of the dry ice haze. Together, they careen through one classic track after another, kicking off the starting point ("Breathe") with a duel between drummers Atkins and Bill Rieflin, crumbling into a wall of gratuitous noise and ad-libbed misanthropic "f**k you" screaming, and then marching forward from the debris to mock the far right with the pseudo-fascist theatrical presentation of "The Land Of Rape And Honey". Peppered with "Faces Of Death" clips and some of the druggiest subliminal imagery possible, if you truly dig Ministry, this is a video for you.
