I've heard he never plays the same solo twice in concert.

Would you want to hear a guitar solo two times in a row?

I watched His Name Was King. An okay example of the spaghetti western. Nothing special. Sort of deceitful in that Klaus Kinski was hardly in the movie. Great soundtrack though.

5/10

The video and sound quality are amazing and I love how there are no annoying special effects and the camera isn't all jerky, showing long, clear shots of the musicians. A must-see for everyone who likes Zappa.

I just watched that for the first time, last week, and enjoyed it very much. Even more so than the live footage from 1974 (which is also excellent in quality and performance) on 'The Dub Room Special' video. Definitely a must-see for Zappa/Mothers fans.

The Dub Room Special is pretty awesome as well, but I don't like it, when concert footage is mixed with animation, interviews etc.
I want to be as close as possible to the live experience and Roxy is ****ing amazing in that respect.

Watched this a few nights back. Not a perfect movie by any means - the supporting actors don't always cut the mustard and the costumes look... well, like costumes; but the underlying theme involving power, violence, corruption and mass deception is as relevant as ever. Really good film overall.

Reminds me of The Mark of the Devil.

They really did hand out a small paper puke bag when you bought your ticket.

Absolutely brutal scenes of torture. Google image the movie title.

^You ought to check out Martyrs.

The google images are pretty grizzly.

Is the violence difficult to watch?

Watched I Saw the Devil last night. Excellent Korean revenge thriller. I liked it a little more than Oldboy, actually, although it's similar. Typical of Korean genre cinema, very bloody and brutal at points, but it runs on a tense script and takes risks that its Hollywood counterparts wouldn't dare. I give it an 8/10.
