1258.0. "Natural Born Killers soundtrack" by WELCLU::BROWNI (The Man who sold the World) Mon Nov 28 1994 15:11

    If anyone wants a good stocking filler this year, go for the soundtrack
    to the film 'Natural Born Killers'. We may not be able to see the film,
    but the album is superb.
    
    Compiled and mixes by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails fame, it has
    diverse type of music, from L7, Lard, Nine Inch Nails (surprise,
    surprise!), to Leonard Cohen, Patsy Cline, Dr. Dre and Patti Smith.
    
    Gets my vote as one of the best soundtrack albums ever (almost as good
    as Vangelis' Bladerunner). Clips from the film mix in with the songs,
    and I'm bummed that the stupid Mary Whitehouse type at the Film
    Censoring place deem it unsuitable for British viewing in case I go out
    and murder 15 policemen with my girlfriend.
    
    Now where did I put my shotgun?

1258.1		WAYOUT::LOAT	Thats a nice bit of rope!	`Thu Dec 01 1994 09:30`	8
	I thought that the powers-that-be had a re-think about this film, and were in the process of giving a certificate. Maybe it's just wishful thinking? Steve.

	Dunno about NBK, but True Romance has finally been given a video certificate, and will be released to rent just after Crimble. Mikef
1258.3		CHEFS::GEORGEM	The early bird catches the traffic.	`Thu Dec 01 1994 09:37`	6
	Also, Channel 4 have bought the rights to screen Resevoir dogs. Michael Grade has said that if they're not allowed to show it uncut, then they will not show it at all. I suppose this is better than ITV getting their hands on it and butchering it until its 20 minutes long. They hope to have a decision from the ITC, or someone, by January.
1258.4		MARVIN::MORRELL	Baby.. Baby.. We can change... anything we want too...	`Sat Feb 11 1995 15:37`	9
	This is a good soundtrack, although the film is a little wierd... it helps if you try not to think about what's going on too much.. Good all-round family entertainment.... NOT! Rick
1258.5	Not as much bloodshed as was hoped.	CHEFS::GEORGEM	The West is the Best	`Mon Mar 06 1995 13:23`	8
	Saw NBK and True Romance last night. Am I right in saying that the NIN track that keeps on cropping up in NBK is from Pretty Hate Machine? I can't remember the name of the track, but the lyric goes..."I still recall the taste of your tears..." I thought he'd written a load of new stuff?!?! Was the new stuff just one of those "Inspired by" things, and not included in the flick?
1258.6		UBOHUB::FIDDLER_M	The sense of being dulls my mind	`Mon Mar 06 1995 14:14`	9
	I have the soundtrack at home - I think I know which track u mean, the slow one? I'll check it out tonight. I think the NIN tracks on the soundtrack may also be on Downward Spiral, bt I'm not totally sure. I dug the film (NBK), but prob more on a technical level than the storyline... mikef
1258.7		CHEFS::GEORGEM	The West is the Best	`Mon Mar 06 1995 14:16`	4
	Mmm...the slow onw. It's all slow, and then he shouts summat like "I am Justified!", and there's a weird Industrial_type_weird_Trent_Reznor_sound. Oh, whatever, I'm sure you'll know which one I mean.
1258.8		COSME3::HEDLEYC	Lager Lout	`Mon Mar 06 1995 15:16`	4
	from the description, I'd say that one is definitely on PHM, although (typically) I can't remember the song title. Chris.
1258.9		UBOHUB::FIDDLER_M	The sense of being dulls my mind	`Tue Mar 07 1995 11:28`	10
	Err...the track is on the NBK soundtrack, in a remixed/re-edited form, with a C date of 1989. I can't remember what it was called. There are two other NIN tracks, one is on Downward Spiral, the other isn't. I'm gonna have to check out more NIN stuff. I like Downward Spiral a lot. mikef
1258.10	Great Music.......Terrible Film !	MASALA::JJACK	m\|o\|t\|o\|r\|o\|l\|a	`Wed Mar 08 1995 09:46`	9
	Gotta agree with previous entries. The soundtrack is the best I've heard from a movie in a looooooooooong time. But as for the film....................CRAP !!! Oliver Stone needs a severe podgering with a hot cucumber if you ask me.
1258.11		UBOHUB::FIDDLER_M	The sense of being dulls my mind	`Wed Mar 08 1995 10:04`	12
	In a way its a shame Stone made the film, he tends to shout when what is needed is a whisper, but if he hadn't made the film, it wouldnt have been so techincally clever. I still think its very watchable, and has a lot to say about the relationship between the Media and the world, you just have to look for it. I really hate to say that I liked an Oliver Stone movie tho... fave track on the soundtrack at the moment - Shitlist, by L7. mikefg
1258.12		CHEFS::GEORGEM	The West is the Best	`Wed Mar 08 1995 10:07`	6
	I liked it. Mind you, I was just prepared to watch a film. I wasn't waiting for a gorefest. The direction was weird, sure, but I managed to keep up with it, and prefered it to the Tarantino "Close-ups-and-weird-camera-angles" approach. Anyhow, the soundtrack was pretty nifty, yes.
