Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense (the movie) Thoughts?

would love to see it through a concert PA, sounds amazing.

the Laserdisc is meant to have the best version of the soundtrack. anyone ever hear that?

any uk screenings we know of?

seems Leeds is the only one so far. check this

The Victoria Hall’s normal stall seating will be replaced with new festival-style seating especially for the occasion, to create a relaxed and celebratory atmosphere, and there will be a range of drinks from different vendors to choose from. Once in a Lifetime will feature the UK Premiere of a brand new digital print of the legendary Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense (1984)

sounds absolutely lovely although Leeds is a bit of a trek from where I'm standing. Hopefully they'll do something a bit further down south.

They've been screening this at SIFF Uptown in Seattle. Wife and I took a friend of ours to see it for the first time. Took about four songs until everyone was clapping and hollering, though the TTC sure put a temporary stop to things. Seeing this through a concert PA must be a revelation.

I would love to see a double feature with True Stories.

rewatched last night

big suit was not as big as i thought

I wonder what the clip was actually used for. EPKs? Maybe broadcast on MTV one night? I know I’d never heard of the clip before the DVD reissue of the film in the late 90s.

If the suit still fits… This year, we’re bringing Jonathan Demme’s groundbreaking 1984 Talking Heads concert film STOP MAKING SENSE (newly remastered in 4K!) back to theaters worldwide. #StopMakingSense2023 pic.twitter.com/Kh2Nevaf2X
