Nite and Fog by Mercury Rev

― Bombed Out and Depleted / Kate (papa november), Monday, 26 September 2005 01:04 (twenty years ago)

"Pretty Shoes" by Jens Lekman wherein Mr. Lekman brings ideas of social democracy to China. Possibly a tortuous nightmare segment with bound feet. But sunshine and parasols and houseboats and kites in the end.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Mercy Seat

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Monday, 26 September 2005 01:12 (twenty years ago)

Robbie Williams, "Me and My Monkey," if it's a bizarro Fear and Loathing-type thing.

And Sly & the Family Stone, "Thank U (Falletinme Be Mice Elf Again)."

"Tangled Up in Blue" would be interesting, with the changing POVs, but I'm not sure I can think of a director who's up to it.

'lily, rosemary and the jack of hearts." obviously.

"bob dylan's 115th dream"

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Monday, 26 September 2005 03:01 (twenty years ago)

Is it okay if I keep harping about Disco Inferno? Well, I suppose it's too bad if not, because my suggestion would be "New Clothes for the New World". When nothing's as it appears, why should you be?

"The Murder Mystery" or "The Gift"

― Voodoo Child, Monday, 26 September 2005 03:12 (twenty years ago)

Or "The Ocean." Now that I think about it that would make a fucking wicked movie (the version with references to "Malcolm's curse" and "a stealer's night," not the outtake from "VU").

"The Best-Ever Death Metal Band from Denton" could make a good movie too, as directed by Gus van Sant, or, in times past, John Hughes.

Nick Cave was the first person I thought of - would have to second mercy seat, I recently heard another bad seeds song that would make a great film but the title has completely escaped me.

PiL, "Poptones"

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 17:09 (twenty years ago)

charlie rich's "memphis and arkansas bridge," where he gets into a fight with his woman, hitches a ride in memphis and winds up drunk and in jail in nashville. quite possibly his greatest song, and it would make a good movie too.

― edd s hurt (ddduncan), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 01:44 (twenty years ago)

"Poptones" is a very good answer.

Springsteen: Atlantic City

that one WAS made into a movie, a couple of years before springsteen recorded the song. it was called "atlantic city."

Speaking of which, it's high time someone makes a movie out of "Nebraska." I think someone like Malick could do something with that story.

― Mike O. (Mike Ouderkirk), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 04:36 (twenty years ago)

"down in the tube station at midnight," with a script by the contributors to this thread.

― fact checking cuz (fcc), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 04:37 (twenty years ago)

as for malick, he should make a movie out of the song "badlands," and he should call it "nebraska."
