Saw the Indian face at LLAMFF last night - its an entirely new film about Indian face, not the old E9 6c short. Really good, all unseen footage and all the players interviewed with their views 20 years on.

I'm pretty sure it'll inspire a few repeats too - as is pointed out it waited 8 years for a repeat, 2 came along, here we are 12 years on and still no more bananas.

The Indian Face thing is well good and having seen it could sway me into getting the DVD. It won't though because I've seen Stone Monkey ten million times anyway, and the ten minute short, E9 6c, is the one you really want. Redhead puts in perhaps the greatest comic performance ever televised, if you haven't seen it you don't know what you're missing!

Total control - was that a route or his *cough* style? If the latter, it honestly didn't look particularly in control, thought I'm sure it was.


I can't believe no-ones picked up on this! You must be thinking about another video. We are talking Total Control, a video of Jimmy Jewell soloing several Welsh Extremes. Appropriately, he looked to me to be totally in control. You'd have to be to solo T-Rex, never mind doing it in about 5 minutes.  :shock:

I know someone whos got it on Vid, I have to say its filmed well but overall with the strange home made pr0n music and Jewells cod mystic voice over it makes for tortuous viewing

i think fras is referring to jims 'meat and two veg' style, something i have attempted to emulate over the years.

not sure how i would describe dawes style. a rare steak, and pea sandwich, might be in there..

I note that the Indian Face snippet @ the end happens to be "E9 6c".  
Fucking great (worth the price alone)!
It's the one where JR goes (with great seriousness):
"E9 6c is out there on the Streets every night."


I think I've seen that - doesn't he also say (about the painting on the rock scar)
"Of the three people who saw it, one is dead, one is mad and the other? <shrugs artistically>"


Ah, well. even though we've established that the film on the DVD is not "E9 6c", I've found a transcript of a radio programme using much of the  same material.

I misremembered the madness of JR

Quote
JD. ...and he paints this thing that is supposed to be like a Bayeaux hunting painting, or something, (JR. ... two people have seen it. One is dead, the other has gone mad. What can I say?)

A bump for this nearly-forgotten thread.

Someone just posted this link on ukc

Stone Monkey Teaser Trailer

It's got all the best bits in, including swearing, the Mancunican Way and some bits of the Quarryman groove (but I don't think I can spot Bubba in the Bus-stop :-\ )

Well I UTFS and seem to have dug out a thread from 2006. I can’t find my Stone Monkey DVD which i thought was in our cupboard of doom and isn’t. Copies seem to be well expensive nowadays and it’s nowhere online either. Can anyone sort me out with some kind of digital version?

Anyone got this on DVD to lend.

Have it on VHS which is obviously useless as I haven't had a player for decades  :lol:

I bought it on some auction site in the fall. The price was acceptable.
