August 7, 200718 yr Ok i know, this movie is old news (released on 04/06 i think) and i know some of you are probably too young to know who the pixies were, but i saw this movie on saterday and i just cant get it out of my mind. This movie follows the pixies on their re-union tour back at 2004,on stage but mostly off stage. From the gathering part,through thier world-wide tour and till the final concert in New-York. As someone who was a pixies fan (in realtime) this is probably the saddest and most effective piece i've seen in a while. Even non-pixies fan might,in my opinion, enjoy it since it's not about music,it's about ego,relationships,miss-communication,mental and physical destruction,ageing and more.. I think this movie is one remarkable monument for one of the greatest band ever lived. Those of you who know the Pixies and didnt see the movie,go see it!!! Those of you who dont know the Pixies read the quote below (taken from here): was trying to write the ultimate pop song. I was basically trying to rip off the Pixies. I have to admit it (smiles). When I heard the Pixies for the first time, I connected with that band so heavily I should have been in that band - or at least in a Pixies cover band. We used their sense of dynamics, being soft and quiet and then loud and hard. Kurt Cobain,1994
