Lydia Lunch

Postby version sound » Thu Sep 19, 2013 10:07 am

I'm a big fan of Honeymoon in Red, Shotgun Wedding, and Death Valley 69. I'm not much of a fan of her no wave stuff. Did she ever do anything good without members of the Birthday Party and/or Sonic Youth propping her up?

I quite enjoyed Big Sexy Noise when I saw them live. She doesn't have members of sonic youth or the birthday propping her up. Gallon Drunk are the band who prop her up now.

I reviewed the road rant DVD she did last year: http://cinemania.co.nz/review.php?id=886

I won't recommend Teenage Jesus and the Jerks to you (though I enjoy that stuff) based on what you wrote above, but check out the record she made under the name 13.13 as well as her Queen of Siam Lp. The only other thing I've ever knowingly heard by her is the Harry Crews record (it's her with Kim Gordon) and it's more interesting than listenable.

Didn't she do some Richard Kern art-porn film with Rollins? I vaguely remember hearing about it late 80s/early 90s. Anyone ever seen it?

I think she did more than one.

That was Right side of my Brain (and she performed oral sex on Jim Thiriwell badly). In Fingered, she stuck a gun in her bushy cave.

And the answer is: NO SHE NEVER DID ANYTHING GOOD. :twisted:

It wasn't a Richard Kern film, but she did a movie called Kiss Napoleon Goodbye with Rollins. It is hilariously awful, but she was incredibly hot in it.

The only one she actually ruined was "Some Velvet Morning".

She probably rejected his advances at one point.

I love me some Lydia Lunch and I used to think she was hot back in the 80s. I loved Teenage Jesus and the Jerks and the 13.13 album and Queen of Siam were really good along with some other stuff. I also really liked the Stinkfist EP she did with Clint Ruin (aka: Foetus)

I don't think she's very positive. I'm pretty sure she isn't straight edge and her music is hard to mosh to.

Not my cup of organic, caffeine free, herbal tea.

Ah, yes, Fingered was the one I thought Rollins was in. I'd never heard of Kiss Napoleon Goodbye before, but it looks laughably bad from the few minutes I just watched... It looks like he does have some sort of artsy soft-core/Skinemax sex-scene with her in that one. :lol:

So is it good? Well, that all depends on what you like. It looks great. I love that soft, orange film look (budgetary as it may have been) and the castle (which actually was home to Napoleon at one point) is gorgeous. Lydia Lunch is fairly sexy and spends a good deal of time wearing next to nothing and boning everyone within arm’s reach. But the dialog is cliché and the acting wooden. You know a movie is in trouble when Henry Rollins comes off as the best actor of the bunch. Of course, I missed at least a third of the dialog anyway. I had to turn the volume up to ungodly levels and be careful not to chew or breathe in order to catch what was being said.

I'll put it this way. It's conjecture (a bit cynical, perhaps) based upon Albini's reputation back in the day. See Liz Phair's "Glory." I only learned what that song is about when I saw her play about 10 years ago and she introduced it as being about Albini making creepy advances toward her. My girlfriend at the time then asked "who's Steve Albini?" Needless to say, the relationship didn't last. :lol:

:o Thanks for that clip of Henry, the Lunch Lady & some other poor sap who agreed to act in that shite, JGJR. :roll: Just seeing that little of this bad art film made my head explode and the mess it made on the keyboard, wall and my boy Cat-Astrophe is pretty bad. Just seeing Henry kiss that no-talent dog made me ill. Even the bunny rabbits in the film were desperately trying to get out of the Scarlet haired succubus clutches. Poor bunnies.

Was someone saying "how hot she was in this :?: ". The only way Lydia Lunch could be considered "hot" would be if she was on fire. Do some of you need to get your eyes or glasses checked ?!

"Who is this "she" you're talking about? Doesn't sound at all like the subject of this thread."

I agree wholeheartedly with Obik here.
