Pageants

One noteable thing for me was that the ‘fake’ rock music in the move was the best that I remember in any previous movie. Usually the music played by the characters in a movie gets Hollywooded so much it’s unbearable. I’m thinking of getting the soundtrack for this one. Beck should consider doing a full album in the general vicinity of Sex Bob-omb.

“Fun? In Toronto?” I also missed those same locations you mentioned, but understood that a) running time is an issue and b) you can’t always get permission to use certain locations. I’d be curious to know which ones they tried to get but couldn’t. But as you say, the spirit, if not always the letter, of the source was there. I actually loved some of the off-book stuff they did (the Lucas Lee stunt doubles, the bleeping of Julie Powers, etc.). And seeing it with a pumped and partisan audience was fun.

And if it becomes another Buckaroo Banzai, well, how great is that company? “John Bigboo-tay! Tay!” Oh, Lectroids!
