I used to use a punk club in Birmingham called Barbarella’s in the late 70’s

Me too..........First heard White Riot there, loved it. But took me ages to find out who it was by - LOSER......

[IrishHeart]

@Giles coincidentally I saw The Clash at the old Top Rank in Brum on the White Riot tour. Great days

[Giles]

Pre-punk, saw Status Quo, 3 times at The Town Hall, even the 3rd time, they hadn’t worked out how to do more than 3 chords

[Tago Mago]

@Giles they still haven’t

Excellent thread drift but, back to the movie. I thought it was OK. The trailer gave me the impression it was going to be to be more about the record store. At the end of the movie when he says… New York had the haircuts,and London had the trousers,but Belfast had a reason,I found myself yelling several choice obscenities at my TV screen.

@Jett129 I can see how that line might not land well for you.

@ÆRϺΔΚ Finally saw Marty Supreme tonight,and was on the edge of my proverbial seat. Just absolutely loved it,as did my wife.

[flannel slut]

found Marty Supreme very entertaining, just wasn’t ready for everyone in the film to be so unlikable

[Bridger]

@flannel-slut - just watched Marty based on your recommendation. I would never have watched a movie about table tennis otherwise. It is a hell of a ride. Not a short film, but very pacy and likeable. 3.5 stars

@Bridger @flannel-slut I recommend looking up Marty Reisman who the film is inspired by. I found it to be an interesting rabbit hole to go down.

I haven’t heard a bad review about it yet. Looking forward to watching it.

On a related note, my general demeanor of crankiness makes me want to dislike Timothee Chalomet and his puckish manner but I have to remind myself that he’s a young guy on top of the world and he should be enjoying every minute of it.
