...and in the end, it's love.

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.

It's just adorable. They are RIDICULOUSLY adorable. If you haven't already trawled my profile for comms, I'd recommend it.

I'd be more smug, but I know where you're coming from - [livejournal.com profile] cathybites did the same thing to me a year ago.
