   Velvet Goldmine
Thursday, June 24 1999
Kim and I watched a flick tonight called Velvet Goldmine, purportedly a fictionalized history of post-Beatles British pop music culture. It featured both a fictionalized David Bowie and a fictionalized Iggy Pop and the Stooges. There's a lot of promise with material like that, and the from all appearances this movie had a big budget. But it was horrible movie all the same. As Kim pointed out, it had absolutely no narrative. And there were no characters with whom we could feel any bonds. At first, these severe failings weren't as evident and in any case was made up for by the spectacular cinematography and trippy antics and scenarios. But then it all got boring and we were distracted away.
