CRASH
chrisTiaN.a.h.
pretty simple message here. go see the movie crash. it's, um, stranger
than fuck. with a lot of fucking ironically. (but cronenberg/burg
always uses sexual overtones in his movies...) that song, and video, by
korN would fit the movie well. and yes, i do like some of the groups on
MTV. if that makes me "non-industrial," then my goal has been achieved.

YESYESYES- it was theee movie of '96 (erm, maybe Breaking the Waves was, but
still ...); Cronenberg is back in great shape. Funnily, I found that of all ppl
I spoke to who'd seen the film, about 95 per cent thought it was utter shite
while 5 per cent thought it was mind-blowing. No in-betweens. Worse than old and
new school industrialists. Fantastic.

Erm ... _un_erotic??? _very_ _un_erotic?????? I have to disagree here. Porns are
unerotic. Big ugly wet dicks in an ugly lighting are unerotic, CRASH has an
awesome weird eroticism I still cannot fathom out. The mechanical sex acts
between Ballard and Catherine - and ultimately between all of the protagonists
display a kind of eroticism unseen before. Even the vagina-like scar of the
crash victim is in an unsettling twisted way - maybe not erotic, but definitely
not un-erotic. BTW, Downfall, what's the higher purpose? I was deeply disturbed
and desperately needed a cigarette when I came out of the cinema; ain't that
purpose enough to be fucked up by a film for a while?
A little anecdote: A few days after seeing the film I was driving back from a
band rehearsal with a friend. I got really scared when we passed the airport,
the concrete blocks, the mulitiplicity of complex motorway interesctions, dozens
of lanes merging splitting darkness thousands of cars, us driving along at 90
mph. Then he said: "Have you seen Crash?" He had thought the same. Metropolitan
freeways will never be the same again ...
Erm, and read the _book_!
BTW, why do they screen American films in America half a year after they were
shown in Germany? Did nobody want to distribute the film?

Actually, with this film in particular, the distributor saw it and
freaked. Said it was perverse and refused to distribute it. For some
reason i want to say Ted Turner was somehow involved with the decision,
but I'm not sure about that. It took this long to re-jockey the release
in the US.

Well, it was really a Canadian film - it was released there way back. I'd
also imagine that the US distributors wanted to see what happened overseas
before releasing it. Fr'example, if it caused riots in a relatively
easy-going country like the Netherlands, it probably wouldn't go down too
well with the Moral Moronity here in the US. Or, to look at it a little
more cynically, if it caused riots overseas, they could then stir up a
whole bunch of controversy at home, which'd lead to more people going to
see it. I suspect if they'd released it first in the US, it'd have shown
quietly at smaller arty cinemas then disappeared without trace.

Have to say that, although I've not actually seen the film, I was also a
little saddened to hear that the soundtrack didn't include any of the many
tracks that've been inspired by the book. "Warm Leatherette" is the most
obvious, but there's a few others out there, like John Foxx's "Underpass"
(and a good chunk of the entire _Metamatic_ album - Foxx was *heavily* into
J.G. Ballard at the time).

declaring that a certain piece of art has a "higher purpose" or "wants to tell
the viewer something". This is usually said about films that leave you clueless
or bored or both. Then ppl say it's art and that I have to think about what the
film tries to tell me. I wanted to say that I expect a film to have a direct and
immediate impact on me - like Crash did. Second question would be: Why does this
film have an impact? Then you can point to the subtexts that you immediately
felt but not consciously thought about - and after a few sleepless nights you
might have a clue why the film gripped you and what its intentions are. Pointing
out the higher purpose is like saying, "okay, the film might be a drag, but
think about it and you will find that the author has an important message." The
message has to be brought across immediately, IMO. A film captures my interest
because the message is there. I love Bergman, Godard and von Trier because these
films disturb me instantly not because I know that there's a complex subtext and
a multiplicity of readings that I have to find in painstaking analytic work.

Actually I've played this for two Madonna fans, one of which was a
die-hard..and I mean *die*-hard madonna fan (no I don't understand) and I
gotta say...they liked it. Mind you they were aquainted with that style
of music somewhatedly through me. It is a *much* more danceable version
of the song.

Yes, I played this for my Madonna-and-Prince obsessed roommate a few
years ago. After he'd already classified Ministry as "homicide music".
The look on his face when the guttural "NOW I'M DANCING!" came on was
priceless. Wish I'd taken pictures.

First of all, Cronenberg is Canadian and the movie was made in Canada.
Your question has been answered in just about every review of the film:
Ted Turner managed to keep it out of the country for a year because he
thought it was to explicit, graphic, etc. I don't know exactly why or how
they finally managed to get it here.

Hah! You're trapped in Milwaukee, too :-) Milwaukee is a pathetic place
for independent and challenging films, having only two theatres that cater
to intelligent cinema. It'll probably take another couple of months for
Crash to make it here, if it does at all. Breaking The Waves just made it
here last week, and that film has been out for months elsewhere around the
country!
BTW, whoever was it on this thread that said Breaking The Waves was the
movie of 1996, I just want to say I TOTALLY agree with you! Very

for anyone one who has not heard this album and is thinkin of purchasing
it out nostaglia (old metallica fans) here is the rundown
the first seven tracks are metallica songs from the albums up until
metallica metallica (the sellout album) redone in bad synth instead of
guitar with a different vocalist (pathetically bad)
the ninth track is actually alright and interesting (for old metallica
fans) it is a remix of die krupps rendition of "one" by Dave Oglivie and
is actually pretty listenable (i like it)
the eigth track is probably not that bad in that it is also a Oglivie
remix of Die Krupps "enter sandman," although i don't know this because i
will never disgrace my cd player by playing anything even remotely related
to that album
if you find it for $2 its worth the curiosity of track 9 but don't pay a
cent more

english 101. when someone says "stranger than fuck. with a lot of
fucking..." that's an ironic statement. why? because you're using the
word "fuck" to describe a movie that contains a lot of....yep, you got
it, fucking. now, go back to bed...

My votes go to Numb's "Push It" (way creepy) and the Pigface (with Ogre,
so it may not actually be a cover) live version of T.F.W.O. (Totally
Fucking Weirded Out, to you non-Canadians.)
I did like "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy"... Connelly's deadpan sarcasm was
brilliant.

Opus, a cheesy Austrian rock band attempting to be a stadium rock band;
the original was released in 1984 (I think), complete with a crowd
clapping and singing along to the tune. It was a #1 hit around Europe
then. BTW, the original is called "Live Is Life"

All this talk of industrial bands covering more mainstream stuff got me

of industrial stuff? I know there's tribute albums to 242 and throbbing

Fatima Mansions did a fine cover of "Stigmata" by Ministry on an EP;
they also did a very pointed deconstruction of "Shiny Happy People" by
REM on the same disc. Both are worth hearing. The US release is titled

I've seen Primus do Stigamta live, actually it might have been Thieves.
And The Urge used to do a bit of Stigmata in concert.

When I saw them live, they even did a cover of MC-Hammer's "Hammer
Time"!! Seth rolled around on the floor and threw things at us.

um, my guess is that because of the content there might have been a
problem, but most likely a distributing problem. which is strange
because it is a canadian movie. i saw it in germany as well, last
october when i was living in hamburg, and i didn't expect the film to
take this long to hit the states. (not to mention how cool i felt
telling my friend's here that i saw it last year in germany)
read the book!! one of my favourites as well...

Not many people outside of Germany will know trhis, but one of the best EBM
/ Industrial covers in the world is "Dich zu lieben" by Genital A-Tech. The
original song is by Roland Kaiser, a German schmaltz singer (think a blue
jeans version of Engelbert Humperdinck and you know what I mean). The cover
really twists the song into something sick and warped. I love it!

SOD (an Anthrax side project) do both Theives and Stigmata.
A better question might be, does anyone cover anything BESIDES
Stigmata?

The best covers by an industrial band (for me) can be found on Laibach's
_Let it Be_ album:
1] "Accross the Universe" is the only Beatles cover that I honestly think
is better than the original, and
2] "For You Blue" is beautiful in a way that defies description. As a
friend of mine said when she first heard it "It's like a symphony... with
a beat...?"

And I'm also waiting for someone to cover The Strangler's _Nice & Sleazy_
(guess I'll be waiting a long time...)
