Hard Core Logo (1996). A documentary-style movie about a (fictitious) punk band that reunites for a short tour. Not comedy. Extremely awesome movie. Great music. CKR is super hot and Hugh Dillon is such a captivating fucking asshole you can't help liking him just as much as you hate him. I feel so sorry for poor Billiam; he shouldn't have come back. They're so fucked up. Of course, then there wouldn't have been a movie...

...and fic. Oh, the fic. It's twistedly delicious. <3.

So in addition, Hugh Dillon actually fronted his own hard rock band, Headstones, for a good 15 years starting in the late 80s. Great music. Definitely a song or two that I skip over, but overall, good stuff -- and I'm really glad to have come across it. Of course, he's an actor now; not sure what he's doing musically (if anything).

Oddly, I'd really love to have the audio track from this movie. I can just listen to it in the background; it's almost as good as watching it. Happily, you can stream the movie from here.

Men with Brooms (2002). A complete 180 from HCL. A sports movie, which means it's got sports, comedy, romantic interest, etc. About CURLING. (Reading the wikipedia article about curling helps with some of the references.) Light-hearted and genuinely fun to watch, this was an unexpectedly enjoyable experience. And Paul Gross's, Kiss You Til You Weep, a romantic little song used in this film, is quite sweet. D'awwwww.
