Best film I've seen in an age.
However, don't know if A. Parker was trying to make a point with
the filming of some of the 'downmarket' locations.
Anyone read the book ?

| 966.7 | Vol.2 | SIOG::CASSERLY | Eireannach is ea me | Mon Mar 30 1992 08:32 | 9 |
| The Commitments Vol 2 was to be released in Ireland in early June.
But the record company have said that they intend bringing forward
the release date because the local record stores are being hit with
foriegn copies of the album being imported and sold illegally. The
album will be released in early April coinciding with the release of
the video on the home market.

| Last night I noticed that The Commitments was nominated for an Academy
Award!
For film editing!!!!?? And it didn't get it.
I guess Fox waited too long to enter the film as a candidate for the
nominations.
|
| 966.13 | The Rules Changed | MEIS::HURLEY | | Tue Mar 31 1992 17:45 | 8 |
|
The Editing went to "JFK" an achievement of Editing over History
Previously the had two Music Awards for scoring, one for Original
and another for Adaptation. This year they eliminated the Adaption
which The Commitments would have taken.

golden corn at harvest time :-)
The football notes conference has moved node to TRUCKS, I think all
you have to do is a MOD ENT FOOTBALL/FILE=TRUCKS::FOOTBALL.

"Entertainment Weekly" has a section where they review films
for family viewing. They look at instances of Sex, Violence etc.
In "The Commitments", the number of times profanity is used
is
166 Times
However, they say the Irish Brogue makes most of them
undistinquishable.

Our new TV has closed-caption capability. Yesterday my 14-yr old used
this to provide subtitles while watching "The Commitments" for the
umpteenth time and finally figured out what "shite" was.
I told him the story of how I first came to learn the word as a lone
16-yr old Yank camping on Iona with a troop of Scouts from Edinburgh.
Our picturesque campsite was a sheep pasture that came right down to a
sandy cove. We would run around barefoot in the wet grass and in and
out of the icy sea. Upon hearing what was for supper one evening, one
lad used an unfamiliar term and I asked what "shite" was.
"De ye no ken wha shite is, ya dilly? Yer stanin in it fer blooody sakes!"

I just noticed this note. I have both CDs *and* the video. Back in
1969, I played the trumpet (didn't have quite so much luck as did
Joey the Lips, but... ;^) and did backup singing in just such a band
while working my way through college. Joey G and the G Men from New
Haven, CT. Many of my fondest memories are of wailing on Try a Little
Tenderness.
To the critics of the music on The Commitments, take it easy. Their
soul covers are astoundingly good considering none of them are black
and they're not Yanks. It takes black musicians from American cities
to really show you how to do soul, but I give that band credit for
doing it well.

As Billy Connolly once said while ranting on about Mary Whitehouse and
her campaign against swearing and sex on the telly.......
"I wouldn't be too happy if my name rhymed with toilet"
