|   Anyone seen the new Bowie DVD? | JoeMama
Nov 30, 2002 12:33 PM | | The LA Times gave it a lukewarm review - primarily for focusing on his least productive 1980's period. The reviews on Amazon.Com are fairly strong. Just curious if others have an opinion? |

Nov 30, 2002 2:46 PM | | I like it ok, not something I'm going to watch very often. I suppose it depends on how much of a Bowie fan you are, and I'm a pretty big one, if you're only a casual fan, you'll probably be pretty disapointed.
My favorite type of video is just a shot of the band playing, and there's not a lot of that here, mainly just the early stuff.
He sure likes washed out colors in his vids, that's a reoccuring thing in a lot of them. |

If you do get it, or watch it, look for an amusing little thing I noticed during Fame 90. They're scrolling the lyrics along the bottom of one "frame" (in the web browser sense), and during one line, they omit it entirely. I'm not familiar with the exact lyrics, but to me, they sound like "...got to get an erection going", although most sites claim it's "...got to get a rain check on pain." I never thought about those lyrics until they omited them. Is this correct? Any other opinions? |
| I have bought Heathen by Bowie | Colin^
