Big screen Bowie

Kara Zor-El · Jun 18th 2022, 8:27pm

it looks like there is two movies about David Bowie coming out!!

There is the biopic Stardust which feels like pretty standard stuff really

And a documentary, which is the one that i am excited about. Like something I WANNA see and HEAR on a big screen! It's called Moonage Daydream. Check it out and tell me if you agree?? :thumbup:

I dunno...I feel like the guy in Stardust doesn't LOOK or SOUND like david bowie...AT ALL.

the other one looks great.

I forced myself to watch the first one, just to make sure it was actually serious....because tbh the screencap looks like some kind of parody (or SNL skit) of David Bowie :lol:

The second one is definitely more watchable

Am I going to make myself look stupid by admitting I don’t really know much about David Bowie and his music? So I guess maybe I should watch these.

Are they sure the first one is even meant to be Bowie? Not even sure the acting and personality is what he was really like. My mums a big fan of his so I've seen a few documentaries and programs about him. The second one does look like it could be good

oops. The Stardust movie came out two years ago!! Apparently it really WAS forgettable. It made $9,087 at the box office!

But glad that everyone else seems on board with that second one!! :rockon:

Yikes! And it seems like they blew $5,5 million to make it! That's harsh.

Bowie didn't want to have a biopic after his death, so his family refused to give the license for his songs.

Yes. And if his family did ever want to have a movie about him they have a good person to make it anyway. As his son is BAFTA winning director, producer and writer, Duncan Jones

They probably didn't have any money left to spend on music.
