Why new "Fix" movie?

Why post a thread whining about a movie that hasn’t even come out yet?

As for the subject matter, yeah I agree it’s a bit silly “the most fucked up band in the world blah blah” but it’s kind of true as well.

I mean that’s what Ministry was to a lot of people. And don’t act like Al didn’t publicize the drug use or that the drug use wasn’t part of the “selling point” of Ministry because it definitely was in the background throughout album art, lyrics, interviews, music videos and especially “Just 1 Fix” being one of their top singles and most well known songs.

Ministry is known as a “hard drug band” and has that reputation.

And it’s clear that drugs were a part of the band’s sound.

So regardless of whether the film itself is focused on drug use (as the trailer seemed to be) or if it’s just an overall look at the band, the fact that drug use was used as a selling point is not completely unfaithful to what Ministry represented back then.

Also, more importantly, this is not being released by Ministry so it’s the director and crew’s choice what they focused on and how they want to represent the movie.

If this were Ministry releasing a movie saying “look how fucked up we were!” that would be lame but it’s not them it’s a third party.

I am really looking forward to this and personally I don’t care if drugs are the selling point as juvenile as that may be I’d like to see what their lifestyle was like and I know that my friends who may not be diehard Ministry fans will definitely be interested in the drug factor and backstage wildness.

If anything this seems like an extension of Sphinctour. Like the backstage footage portion or bonus footage or whatever.

Unprofessional? I don’t think Al has much to prove at this point.

why not release it now since they’ve moved on in their personal lives i mean fuck the footage is more than a decade old it was something alway’s referenced in interviews and best of all everyone lived through it. who can blame al/paul etc from trying to earn a buck the lack of control is one of the main parts of what was the ministry magic

why do i imagine this kid with long greasy stringy hair, little spindly fingers sitting at the ministry forums all day with his little skinny legs crossed just starting at his screen all day hitting refresh so much that the logo is worn off the button, wearing one of those mishapen cowboy hats that is bent in a very ministry manner.

You obviously are not familiar with grmpysmrf “the wrestler”. He’d probably have you for breakfast.

my cocks staighter than your cock brah…late!

( i keep picturing him watching surfer dude so as to keep up on the brah this brah that scitch)

and everytime i see the name “grmpysmrf” i feel like im getting ready to be violated by a pedefile.

just thought id fill his boney belly, i can hear the stomach rumbles from the starving for attention.

visions of mt dew cans and cheetos bags abound.

i cant wait for all the next cheecky anecdotes which im betting he actually writes out first and says then to himself outloud several times over just to make sure it looks as cool as it sounds.

if minisitry isnt tatooed on his taint, then the world is wrong…they only come out at nite…mostly.

Bizarre. It sounds like you have a “thing” for him. Good luck with that.[/reply]the wrestler…

can you even fathom how many people are over here laughing at this right now…7 and were all filled to the brim brah, with grand daddy purple.

mick and smurfy boi wrestling on the floor …thats what we want for breakfast…

…now bizzare the guy from D-12 …i do have a thing for him!
i will pay all his bills if he would just pay me the time of day…

black bears mmmmmmmmm.

Beware!

You’re all a bunch of homos.

Movies about drugs and junkies are cool. If all you care about is the “music” then shut up and go listen to your CD’s. Some of us like watching others destroy themselves and others around them because it’s totally badass and if you don’t agree it’s 'cause you’re a whiny little fruit.

i totally agree! i also agree with the obvious downslide in overall quality when rock stars quit heroin, it’s the same thing when superman lost his cape…or thor losing his axe…just 1/2 ass’in it man!..yee haw gonna go get me a yoo hoo on that f’in note!!!

Or Mario without his mushrooms???

First, stop acting like jackasses.

<Think that’s impossible>

Second, it’s a movie about a band that did crazy stuff. Have you ever had a friend tell you about the stupid crazy stuff they did? It’s usually funny. Some people don’t like it or don’t get it. They don’t have to listen. Personally, I like hearing about weird things. So, I am looking forward to seeing what the movie is about because I was a big Ministry fan at that time and want to see what they were up to. If you think it is a stupid movie then don’t watch it. Go watch Benji or Star Wars or whatever it is you enjoy. Not every movie is made to entertain everyone. Clearly, this movie was not made to entertain you whiners. So stop your whining. It’s one thing to complain about a song that sucks but complaining about something that really happened is stupid.

Much agreed.

I don’t think of ministry as a junkie band… i mean AL was a junky, but (and i’m not familiar with everybody else) i don’t think paul or connelly were hardcore users, bill reiflin i don’t think even strikes me as a user outside of drinking…

it’s like saying nirvana were a junkie band… when i think of a rock band who were users I think of like motley crue, and that’s just 2 of the 4 who shot up.

[reply]I think yer shouting to the wall steve. perhaps you’re right on a national scale but as you may have noticed the populace of this board is no where near the #'s of any one country let alone a town. Moot thread.

why do i imagine this kid…

because the thick coat of bong resin that sits on the inside of your skull has dampered what little imagination you might have once had.

my cocks st®aighter than your cock brah

You obviously can’t read sarcasm. Well, at least you can read, that’s a plus right?

and every(space)time i see the name “grmpysmrf” i feel like i(m getting ready to be violated by a pedefile. (pedophile) )

I guess you decode o.k. but you can’t spell for shit (it’s far worse than just the normal lazy speller) but since you are obviously using the forums for practice, I suppose that’s great for you, at least you’re trying.

Your coherency is a bit off though, 'cause the first line of your dumb ass post also calls me a “kid” how could one kid be a pedophile (that’s pedefile to you) to another kid, or an adult if you so fancy yourself an adult? Did you print up and post your original rant on the fridge? I’m sure you did, but you should take it down now that you know that it ain’t all that! (Lucky for you, I didn’t grade the whole thing!)Poor guy, keep trying though! Glad to see pot heads still chuckle at what they “think” idiocy! keep the SPARK alive pal!

Benji! That made my night! [laugh] I bet Benji, Star Wars and Fix would make a great triple feature!

I watched “Cool as Ice” the Vanilla Ice movie last Saturday. That movie was awesome. Maybe the whiners would enjoy that one better than “Fix”.

lol this thread is fucking retarded. I like how this random cast of new characters is making Prongs more lively. Things were looking grim for a time around here…

Certainly is more lively. funny though… how I was pretty much the only nice person to bong boy in the beginning, when everyone was ripping on his “FREE TACO BELL” “DVD/BLU RAY” threads. and now he wants to start attacking me in children speak! Makes me think of, if one of the special olympics athletes tried to heckle one of the referees from the bench. Hysterical!

QUIET YOU!!!

<adopts fighting stance and hucks gob of spit at the floor>

well, I’ll have to point out the dichotomies of the trailers-

“this band wasn’t taking the cash 'n fame route. No they’re going straight to Hell.”

Al-“I just want a quick fuck, no talk, no nice preamble— just sex, 10m min max.”

shots of drunken/drugged members

what appears to me is a sex/drugs/debauchery movie

and now that they’re “clean”, why not name the movie that?

why not call this thread “get a life”? [:/]

God, it’s a fillm about a ROCK band. Ministry at that! Probably more interesting than a Fugazi tour doc.

It is for this reason being in a straight edge band would completely, and utterly, suck.

Don’t wanna drink, smoke, whatever, that’s fine… they just all seem so damn uptight. And this is coming from someone who doesn’t drink himself.

and everytime i see the name “grmpysmrf” i feel like im getting ready to be violated by a pedefile.

I’ve gotta admit, this made me laugh pretty hard. Mainly out of how much I’d enjoy it. I’m waiting for you, grmp… [;)]

Agreed with voidhead, big time.

It’d be interesting if they looked at the aftermath tho… hell, even perhaps get Al and Paul’s sides of each others story…
