Reality
Streaming on Max.
Wouldn't be surprised if this picked up a nomination or two.
Just watched this. I thought it was merely ok. Halfway through I said “this feels like it would be better as a play than a movie.” Then three-quarters of the way through I wikipediaed it because it was losing my attention and, lo, and behold, it’s an adaptation of a play.

I really want to see this. Like four people have told me Glenn Howerton's performance is incredible.

FUCK! Now the only mystery left is whether Balsillie gets to buy the Nashville Predators and move them to Ontario!

Has anyone seen this....looks amazing and has the real deal people who were still alive in 2017
Rudeboy: The Story of Trojan Records

on a related note, this came out in 2002 and looks good
Soul Jazz Records Presents Studio One Story

but just isn't available except for the archive or shitty youtube

Studio One Story is a truly unique documentary in which the Clement Dodd gave unprecedented personal access to tell the previously untold story of how he and the many artists and musicians at Studio One literally shaped the rise of Reggae music from the 1950s onwards through to the late 1970s.

The 4 hour documentary (including over an hour of extras) was filmed on location in Kingston, Jamaica and features interviews with Horace Andy, Alton Ellis, Ken Boothe, Sugar Minott, Denis Alcapone, The Ethiopians, Sylvan Morris, Johnny Moore, Lone Ranger, King Stitt and many others. The DVD also includes rare footage of The Skatalites, Jackie Mittoo, Count Ossie, Marcia Griffiths and others.


Talk about rabbit hole...saw a post where Paul McArtney was talking about being in Jamacia 1971 and how his wife had turned him on to "tighten up" ...first thought was ..that's Archie Bell and the Drells...and we're from Huston texas
but found out Tighen Up was a great series of albums put out by Trojan and how most of the skinheads got turned on to the music
What's crazy as AB & the Ds Tighen up is...they recorded it, released it and Archie bell got drafted to go to veitnam before it became a hit
served his time and came back, but by that time the thrill was gone and they couldn't get that spark back

also TSU Toronados were the backing band...sadly creating some of the earliest Funk groves receviced no credit at the time
It was in this capacity that the group backed some studio sessions by a vocal group from Houston called Archie Bell & the Drells. Bell and his partner Billy Butler set lyrics to a funky riff the Toronados had been playing on their club dates, and the result was "Tighten Up," a number one smash in 1968. Unfortunately, none of the Toronados received writer's credit

Sex Pistols Documentary in Works Based on Memoir by Founding Member Glen Matlock

been meaning to read this as I hear it's pretty good, quite enjoyed lydon and jones books


he is on every track but one on NMTBHTSP, but sid seems to get all the credit for just showing up at the end and making a spectacle
