Plese, take pics and try to understand if there will be a future dvd release (I guess so) ... THAT would be perfect for Christmas!

I know some of us are still planning on making it, provided it takes place as planned.

'Tis indeed. I'm on the wrong side of the transportation divide and have to bail sadly, but Susan, Conroy, and sockii are still in, at least. Not sure who else.

Have fun, everyone!

It was great. I don't want to spoil too much but there are some easter eggs in there that nutters will love, especially the final scene of the movie before the credits roll.

I have to admit I was skeptical at first that a 90 minute movie would be able capture the heart and soul of Andy's book but it totally works the way it is framed in the film. It starts off during the reunion tour goes back to Andy's early days to set up the rest of the movie. Once it comes to Police's formation, the movie seamlessly moves between the frame of the reunion tour and the rise and eventual dissolution of the Police. The music is what cohesively ties it all together. it is brilliant. Everyone user on this forum must see this wonderful film!

My only complaint is that they incorrectly spelled Dietmar's last name in the credits (Clos).

Can't wait to get a chance to see this

[Dietmar]

I'll hire a lawyer and will have all copies destroyed!

The film was very enjoyable, and it's always fun to see Andy. I'm not going to spoil anything, but if you don't want to know anything at all about the film, skip the next paragraph.

I must say that for me (and I'm sure I'm not alone in this), a standout sequence (despite this being a movie about a musician) was Andy quietly roaming around at night taking photographs (on a film camera!). It was neat watching him size up a subject, select his approach, and then to see the results. This sequence alone, especially for an Andy fan, should be worth the ticket price. And then, as a bonus, he stumbles upon something almost unbelievably amusing and amusingly unbelievable. So, now that you've read this far, you need to see the movie.

In the Q&A, Andy mentioned with regret that some reunion tour rehearsal jams (verging into new territory) ended up on the cutting room floor. All sorts of good stuff from "One Train Later" didn't make the film because they didn't have corresponding footage. When asked about his current relationship with Sting, Andy gave a spectacular but entirely evasive non-answer involving tantric sex. On the other hand, despite what seemed to be residual frustration/grumpiness towards Sting, he described Sting as the band's primary peacemaker. He also mentioned that he cut about 500 pages from "One Train Later"; I caught up to him afterwards, he confirmed that statement, and I encouraged him to post the outtakes online -- he seemed to like the idea, so let's hope for the best.

I'm a little too brain dead right now (after all day at casting tryouts) to be too coherent yet, but what other folks have said. Though for me the standout part is the section set to, of all things, "Behind My Camel". I've honestly never liked the song much and tend to always skip over it on album But the way it's used in one sequence of the film? Brilliant and perfect. It's like the song has finally found the film it was meant to be the soundtrack to after all of these years.

Yes. The music (and story) of "Behind My Camel" deservedly triumphs.

I like "Behind my Camel"

Did anyone hear when/if this will be a DVD or Blu-Ray release?
