Fix The Movie Thread

It’s hardly overpriced…

Ha! A quote from P.T. Barnum comes to mind.

No one outside of a few mouth breathers on this site is going to waste their money on this garbage. It’s nice to see that Skinny is still trying to profit off of Al’s name after all these years.

I entered, though I’m not certain about question 2…

Fuck… looks like I’ll have to buy it!

Ha! That was going to be one of the questions: “How many times did Al sue or threaten to sue the makers of this film?”.

It’s live, the trivia:

Good luck.

Damn I only know the answer to question 3.

And I too[:(]

Also, this needed to be done:

Got #2 & #3 but not sure about #1

My preorder showed up today. Now playing…this band is the reason we’re all still here.

I got mine today. The movie was actually kind of boring. I could have lived without seeing Al’s cock. Why aren’t there any naked women in this rock documentary?

so is the DVD version going to be unedited/uncut?

Presumably. I can’t imagine what they may have censored, considering what they left in!

Noticed Al was an executive producer on fix. Not a bad credit for a guy that didn’t want the movie released.

IIRC, Al and Paul both had executive producer credits on the screen at the same time. I wonder how many other films have been executive-produced by two guys who aren’t talking to each other?

i would think that happens quite often.

still waiting on mine. i was hoping i would get it on release day since i pre ordered, but whatevs.

“Executive producer” is a pretty common credit to give when you have to pay someone for a film even if they didn’t have much to do with it. I imagine Al was promised that credit in '96 when they actually shot the thing.

I got my copy yesterday and have watched about 30 minutes of it. I think it’s fascinating, but I doubt someone who wasn’t a huge Ministry fan or hadn’t seen the Sphinctour would be very interested. It comes off more as the bonus behind-the-scenes footage you’d see in a concert DVD than a movie in and of itself.

Yep. Exec producers are generally used as a means of garnering “attention” for a film. They’re basically paid so the makers of the film can use their name and link them to the flick. You’ll find prominent directors like Lynch, Mann, Scott, etc. are used as executive producers a lot even though they have fuck all to do with the films they are listed as exec. producers for.

lol i just went to the official fix the movie website, and i noticed they put up lyrics. i got excited for a second because i thought they might be official lyrics paul himself looked over but alas, it was not to be.

“Nursing me to the movie that he shows
Nursing me to the bureau and the ?
Nursing me can’t you leave me alone?
Nursing me in a nursing home”

lol horrible.

Maybe somebody ought to email Doug Freel the better lyrics.
