AICN Exclusive! The Flaming Lips - CHRISTMAS ON MARS Score - For Your Instant Satisfaction!!!

Saw them in Glastonbury a few years ago by seppukudkurosawa	Nov 10th, 2008 08:14:03 PM
Remember that scene at the end of Ghostbusters where Mr Staypuft explodes and marshmallowy goodness falls down on everyone below? That's what it was like.
This movie was absolutely terrible. by DrAndonuts	Nov 10th, 2008 08:37:15 PM
I saw this at Lollapalooza a few months ago, and it was easily the worst movie I've seen all year. And this is coming from a Lips fan.
90's Lips shows were nuts by Hikaru Ichijo	Nov 10th, 2008 08:41:02 PM
Always a visual component, even today. How long have they been making this movie? Seems like ten years. Very cool soundtrack.
1st time I heard The Lips was "Batman Forever" by Chishu_Ryu	Nov 10th, 2008 09:02:32 PM
Or at least that's the first time I remember hearing them. Now it's like 1 out of 3 bands you go see live include robots, bubbles, and a guy in a Santa suit on stage...
They pretty much rule here in OKC by Sith Witch	Nov 10th, 2008 09:13:31 PM
it seems every week they're doing some sort of official event as Oklahoma's resident darlings.
I once danced on stage in animal costume for them by drturing	Nov 10th, 2008 09:14:38 PM

90's Lips shows were SUPER nuts by bonecrushersmith	Nov 10th, 2008 09:55:50 PM
Their newer shows... pretty boring. I left the last one I went to, because I was bored to tears. They played in a small baseball field near my house way back when, and melted my fucking eyes off!

I love that these guys just don't stop... by Kirbymanly	Nov 11th, 2008 12:27:21 AM
... they keep coming up with better and better media experiments. What other band does this nowadays AND actually makes good music?! LOVE THEM!
Had the opportunity to see the world premier of Christmas on Mar by loodabagel	Nov 11th, 2008 12:57:59 AM
But I missed it because The Cure played four three hours. Wayne Coyne and pals were walking around that day at the Sasquatch festival up in Washington, handing out tickets to their movie, which would debut in a circus tent they rented at midnight. I didn't really regret missing the movie since I got to see their concert the next day. Plus, The Cure was way better than I thought The Cure could be.
drturing me too! by gotilk	Nov 11th, 2008 01:23:19 AM
Those without dance find it on stage with the Lips while dressed as giant stuffed dogs.
So this isn;t by Napoleon Park	Nov 11th, 2008 01:28:28 AM
about a Life On Mars Christmas Special? Too bad, the Blackadder and Dr. Who Christmas Specials were pretty cool.

that trailer looked like excrement.
Flaming Lips are one of the best bands ever! by erichaislar	Nov 11th, 2008 11:15:45 AM
But i think i need to trip acid to enjoy this film.
Marching Band from Hell by saintaugust	Nov 11th, 2008 11:21:17 AM
Adam Goldberg's scene is the best part of this film.
The Flips are awesome.... by Mosquito March	Nov 11th, 2008 04:09:09 PM
...but CHRISTMAS ON MARS isn't. It screened in Orlando after I made the local art house theater aware of it. After sitting through the film, I felt embarrassed. I didn't expect it to be great, but I expected it to at least be entertaining in a quirky way. It just wasn't. It played like a wannabe hybrid of DARK STAR and ERASERHEAD, and the acting and pacing were pure torture. Even Adam Goldberg was terrible as a result of the cockeyed editing.
Will AICN do a review of the film? by Kirbymanly	Nov 11th, 2008 07:04:55 PM
Just bought my copy and can't wait to watch it!
Does this work on Mac? by Zeegloo	Nov 11th, 2008 11:34:00 PM
HELP!!
I've had the pleasure of meeting these guys... by DeadPanWalking	Nov 12th, 2008 10:38:13 AM
... and I have to say I've never met more cool, down to earth rock stars (with the possible exceptions of Sonic Youth and Go Go Bordello.) These guys absolutely rock in the purest sense of the word, and they're pretty damn hilarious to boot. I wish them success with the film. It looks interesting but I'm willing to bet the soundtrack is the thing.
Can't wait! by elvenblade	Nov 12th, 2008 08:18:18 PM
I love the Flaming Lips, even if they suck life (I went to one of their shows - the presentation is great but Wayne's voice was totally dead). Definitely going to pick this one up.
You mean their not just Tom Jones backup band? by Tindog42	Nov 13th, 2008 09:32:47 AM
It was years before I could get the title song from 'Duck Dodgers' out of my head. Oh, wait, it's back....
