The movie starts in New Zealand tomorrow. I might see it with some work mates next Thursday. I will tell you what I think of the movie then. I already like the soundtrack.

There was a review of the movie in the Christchurch Press today. I thought I would post it here as it mentions Hayley.   Next Thursday about 20 of my workmates (and me) are going Ten Pin Bowling after work. One of our suppliers is paying for the bowling, food and alcohol (whoopee). Then after the bowling some of us are thinking of going to see the movie. So we will probably be half drunk when we see the movie lol. |

and on another tangent. I found Hayley's support or involvement with the War Machine far more objectionable than her connection with this trivial film. I absolutely agree with this opinion. BTW, the movie is not that bad, we had some good fun watching it! |

Hi Everyone,
I watched this movie last week, it isn't usually the sort of thing that I watch but I like Matthew Horne & James Corden in 'Gavin & Stacey' and although their sketch show leaves a lot to be desired, I thought that I would give it a go.
I don't think that the movie is as bad as the title suggets, just a bit of brainless harmless fun, but it's not something I would sit through again, given the choice.
The one thing that grabbed by attention though was the soundtrack, I knew Hayley had been involved although I had only heard clips until then, but I went and ordered the soundtrack straight away.
It arrived on Friday and I have been listening to it most of the weekend, it seems to get better with each listen. My favourite movies are fantasy, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings etc, they are all movies with big soundtracks but for me the score for Lesbian Vampire Killers tops the lot. Even without Hayley it would be a fantastic soundtrack.
It seems bizarre that such a low budget, average movie can have such a fantastic soundtrack. If you haven't heard it then I would highly reccomend it to anyone.

BTW, the movie is not that bad, we had some good fun watching it! I think Jordi and Comet, there is a misunderstanding here. The British Legion is a charity that picks up the pieces from war. Nursing and welfare is its main aim of those affected and then their families, support for those who lose a parent etc. It's motivation is Remembrance of those who made the greatest sacrifice of all, the high cost of war and why it should be avoided. It is NOT in any way a celebration of war but highlighting its terrible humanitarian cost and why we should always try to avoid it. Peter S. |

My objection was to the visit to Basra and we all know that did Hayley no good healthwise.
Drafted soldiers are just as much victims of war as the civilian casualties.
I have no objection to the poppy appeal or The British Legion association.
War is usually just about controlling wealth, natural resources like oil or other valuable commodities and of course the arms trade and the world of finance who lend the money to the poorer countries to keep them in debt so they can live in luxury on the interest knowing it will be a long time before they will be able to clear their National debt.

One of my friends went to see this film the other night and he really enjoyed himself. I said to him that I was suprised, as it received a lot of bad reviews. His reply was 'it was stupid, but actually quite funny'. Fairly violent though. He said that he thought that the film's high rating would have come from 'adult content', but apparently not so (I think he was disapointed  ) |

i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif Well I had fun at the ten pin bowling even though I was useless lol. About seven of us then went and seen the movie. Some even smuggled in a bit of alcohol. Since I was driving I only had a couple of beers before hand. I think it helps to be half drunk before you see this movie as it was so funny because it was so corny and didn't take itself too seriously. There was a lot of gooey mess and beautiful girls and was aimed for the teenage boys market. I loved hearing Hayley throughout the movie and the soundtrack was great.

Oh my.......what a painful experience, I just read this thread in its entirety...a one and a half hour NOVEL of difference in opinion. My mood has gradually fallen throughout the reading...and I would not recommend any new users doing the same - unless you have to! I'm looking forward to listening to Hayley's healing voice to reconcile me to my good mood - after I share my opinion. Firstly, I'm glad this 'story' had a positive 'ending'. I read it from start to finish and had no idea if there was going to be any form of resolution. I would like to say that I am disappointed that members seem to feel they can judge a persons character purely by association. Your personal views are important only to yourselves, and in the right context yes by all means you should share them - this promotes democracy. But, what relevance does someone merely associating with something you do not agree with have with you placing a judgment on their character? Or should I say, what justification is there? Of course there are some clear cases where one may be justified in making a connection - but in this case we are talking about a movie... Am I to be scared that someone will judge my character because they don't agree with my views expressed in this post? Should we place judgement on the character of someone who cares for prisoners, or perhaps someone who is associated with an event that is hosted by a questionable organisation? Where do we draw the line? Why can't we just accept that the world is a diverse place, and that something that is questionable to someone, may not be as questionable to someone else, and therefore doesn't pose any reflection on their character? Now my standing on the film: I'm somewhat conservative, have my own religious views etc...I may think it sounds tacky, and the title is somewhat blatant, but the film in my opinion is of no harm to the wider population. Many of my favourite movies have high violence and other "cautions" - for instance films by Stanley Kubrick (I'm sure lots of you would really hate them) - I have introduced myself to these movies since I turned 18, and I do believe that its the parents and governments responsibility to censor minors - it is illegal (at least in this country) for minors to watch restricted material, regardless of parents opinions. Standards have certainly dropped! I would say this started escalating in the 60s... (long before I was born)... but people should try and avoid making these sort of comparisons, they just reflect a change in overall values (I'm not implying that your values have to change with them). Thanks for reading. Even though the matter has been resolved, I do believe I deserve a reply or two considering I just read for over an hour!  P.S. Comet, you may "rock the boat" with that last post! Cant say I share your opinion though. Interesting views none the less.  |

Cant say I share your opinion though. Interesting views none the less. Ha ! I don't mind falling out of boats, that's why we learn to swim ! Clockwork Orange was probably one of the weirdest films I ever watched, such perverse characters and the worst part is we all know that people like these do exist, It's a few years since I last saw the film. But I remember thinking .. These are the ideas you should not go putting in minds, no matter what age they are. I would agree with The absolute banning of films like that. :2fun: and shouldn't you be studying ?  |

Can't say I approve of that one. I don't agree with the banning though. Actually I'm not sure why I even mentioned Stanley Kubrick, I did enjoy a few of his movies, but I don't think any of them would actually feature in my favourites. Studying?? Thats what the last minute is for! I'm guessing that was in response to my reading the entire thread? |

Well, Jono88, it is very interesting that you read through the entire thread. Ideally, anyone replying to you should do likewise to ensure they reply with the same refreshed state of knowledge. I lack the time as I do regretfully on too much here into which I would like to burrow further.
My immediate reaction to your post was that this was the first time a breath of sane air was blown on the topic. The repeated praise for the soundtrack (which I have not yet acquired) brings me round to thinking I should acquire it.
It is not that I am concerned about what people think of my tastes but that I don't wish to burrow into certain markets. As you state in your own post, you have noticed standards falling. Those of an older ilk than you can magnify that over their time tenfold and more. In this genre of film I was brought up on the classic version of the novels and understood the mastery behind their creation. The 'follow-ons' appear to be the equivalent of 'what the butler saw' machines at the end of the pier.
What I found most inexplicable was how superb talent at the theatre end of the pier could immerse itself in something more appropriate down a back alley. It is perhaps a generation thing. Certainly a cultural thing. High on the list must be pre-perception.
However, in the marketing world, pre-perceptions are important considerations in advancing artist awareness. How did this, by its title, enhance Hayley? I think that is what lay behind many people's concerns. If the soundtrack is something to to be amazed over, who of the ilk to value it is likely to be drawn to it?
Others will doubtless add their own comments in time.

Hi Peter S., thankyou for your intelligent response to my post. I like hearing thoughts from older people because in most cases they can offer a LOT more perspective on a matter. Well they say that any publicity is good publicity, which I do believe true, but is not the argument which I think is relevant (especially since Hayley didn't know it was being recorded for LVK). My argument was more based on the presumption that the person had already chosen to do something that individuals may not agree with - I think we should have open minds to allow other people to make these decisions, without placing judgement on their character. Why does it matter which groups will be drawn to it? Is there some sort of standard to be allowed to be Hayley's fans? Wouldn't it be beneficial to Hayley if she had a diverse fan base? (as I'm sure she already does) - I don't mean to sound so critical of your argument, I'm just asking - Why does it matter? EDIT: Or maybe I completely missunderstood you and you meant - who "with value" would ever be drawn to it? - which is a good point.On films, I can say that I do not believe LVK would be one I would enjoy. Maybe what your generation sees as more appropriate for a "back alley" is now seen as appropriate and challenging to express in film - just a suggestion. Many years ago there were many restrictions which prevented these things being expressed. This is not the appropriate place to go into any detail of what I'm refering to specifically, but if you have a look at the IMDB top 250 movies, it would give a good overview of the range of movies present day film fans approve of, which reflects quite closely on my personal tastes. (with some exceptions, of course). Its funny that in many "discussions" I have with people in day to day life I seem to take a more conservative approach, but on here I could be seen as taking a liberal stand. |

Hi everyone
Apple are operating a "12 Days of Christmas" giveaway on iTunes in the UK, and today (31/12/2009) they are offering the download film of Lesbian Vampire Killers completely free. It may not be to everyone's taste, but it does allow those of us who do not have the soundtrack album to listen to Hayley's involvement. Be warned though that it is a long download (1.2GB).
Kind regards
Colin
