Incredible that people will continue watching a movie 2 more hours after they decide it sucks. Personally I really enjoyed it . Also -- I haven't actually watched a bad movie in almost ten years because if I am not enjoying a film I TURN IT OFF
there are 2 kinds of people in the world . People that love this film. And people who intuitively know from looking at the cover that it is one of the worst movies ever made.
oh Wow! thank you . This is such a good album, and I was just reading about how this footage was lost for so many years - can't wait to watch it .“Reed’s edgy guitar, fullness of heart and clipped, journalistic poetry bring into sculptural relief Cale’s elegant keyboards and brainy lyricism. As their subject, Warhol is both immediate and mythic. The idea entrepreneur who produced the Velvets, he provokes an homage that’s romantic yet casual — and Cale and Reed pay their debt with an offhand pop epic…Reed and Cale are the survivors Warhol wasn’t fated to become. In popular music, only bluesmen and country greats have managed the maturity these two display. Fashioning a litany out of Warhol’s off-kilter pantheon — Edie Sedgwick, Billy Name and Valerie Solanas (whose attempted murder of Warhol prefigured the shooting of John Lennon) — Drella memorializes an era the way narrative folk music generally has done. Reed and Cale add rare intelligence to their nostalgia, but it’s on a more soulful level that Drella finally hits. The subtle values of modesty, hesitance and loving observation dignify this sweet and knowing tribute to these men’s mentor, producer — and friend.”
