I do not post very often, but this chemistry of casting, "big number montage flops", and music in general...(I never read anything about this movie, nor did I want to see it when it came out, HBO snowed in KC)
Tom "Axel" @#%! Cruise....really??!!??
Russel "Please don't speak" Brand...
Alec "I lost my cool in 1993" Baldwin...As "The Bourbon" failing owner...
I know, I know....this was a Broadway play and most should not be made into movies...
But the most offensive was the music...I was a Junior in college in 1987 had a PA System I would rent out to bands, since 1982...my musical tastes during that era was, Police, U2, Pretenders, Replacements, Clash, Elvis Costello, The Jam,...alternative...
But I worked for allot of "Hair Band / Eyeliner Wearing MTV Cover Driven can't call it Metal Music"....I heard songs in this movie I would have been just fine never hearing again... but sung by Alec, Tom, Russel...
this is perfect storm kind of bad...I won't even go into the arrangements/melding of songs...
I started to embrace the badness, by trying to guess the name of the band of such lost favorites; with this constant flow soundtrack of music that I learned to hate by working with hair bands...I did not do very well, but it did have both of Whitesnake's only hits...AND EVERY Hair Ballad...
If you know that tragic period in music...you can list over half the sound track by just listing Hair Band Anthems/Ballads...
I did not finish the movie, I missed the last 15 minutes, which was building to an all loose-ends tied up musical extravaganza finale...
Hope to see the ending soon...HBO will only play it 200 times in the next 3 weeks, between all their channels....can't wait...
I did not search if this particular piece of movie magic was discussed here already...but when a movie of this quality motivates me to post...my cup runneth over..
thanks
