Gimme Danger: Jim Jarmusch documentary on The Stooges (November, 2016)

I think many here have been waiting for a film like this one. I personally think that Jarmusch is a perfect choice for this project. He and James have worked together many time over the years.

 

I'm an IDIOT!
At first look, I thought Jarmusch was doing a documentary on THE THREE STOOGES!!!

 

Close, these are The Four Stooges.

And you're not an idiot. Simply increase you caffeine/sugar levels.

 

I also had a vision of a SNL sketch;
"Jim Jarmusch's "The Three Stooges":
Moe, Larry & Curley are just standing around for an hour-and-a-half!
CREDITS

 

A very good interview by Movie Critic Peter Howell in today's Toronto Star.
Also, Mr. Howell's review of Gimme Danger.

 

Philadelphia critic liked it as well. He was like 'whddaya know? Igg is well spoken and deep.'

 

Jim made it? Oh boy, I'll bet this is the sh_t! Me likey.

A piece from the Chicago Tribune (rock critic Greg Kot has always been a huge Stooges fan): New documentary shows how the Stooges finally outlasted naysayers »

 

A must see !!!

 

That actually sounds like a more interesting documentary. How many rock star docs do we need? I'd rather hear about the sordid personal lives of Larry, Moe and Curly. Shemp's story might actually be more fascinating than Iggy's!

 

Then you want this, from a family perspective. And it includes clips from all 190 shorts, not just the standard public domain clips.

As for the documentary on The Stooges I hear there is a great Moe Howard story involved with the group!

 

I saw this today. It's probably light on any serious revelations but the footage of the Stooges in action and the interviews are well worth it. They were so cool. See it!

 

I'm currently having a pint at the pub right next door to the rep cinema I'll be watching this doc at in 15 minutes. I'm ready to rock.

 

Did this ever get a release on DVD or Blu-Ray in North America, I cant find it listed anywhere?

 

Sometimes it can be a long wait... so many music related docs I want that were only ever seen by festival audiences or art cinemas in very large cities.

 

DVD only in the US. I believe there's a U.K. Blu-ray.

Happy viewing, Michael

 

DVD. I reviewed it and thought it was entertaining but frustrating:

Gimme Danger (2016)

 

Honestly, this is a film I doubt would really benefit from Blu-ray. The only high-quality footage comes from modern-day interviews, and do we really need to see circa 2016 Iggy in hi-def?

The music might benefit from lossless, but I doubt it, mainly because interviews became the emphasis. This isn't a program to play to enjoy the music, as we just get snippets without much more on display...

 

Highly recommended. I think it's excellent.
