I'm going to interview Ondi Timoner, the director of DIG!, in one hour. Any suggestions on what to ask her?

Ask her if being around edgy - smack heads all the time was tough.

is anton cleaned up? If so, what is he like now that he is cleaned up?

dunno, but i can't wait til it comes out on DVD next week. saw it at sunshine here in nyc and i'll buy that shit the day it comes out.
i love the dandys though, so i'm way biased.
Is your interview about the process or about the subjects of the movie?
- fullerc0
I watched the DVD 3 times last weekend! I love that shit and since I don't have cable it's the closest thing I have to Behind the Music.
The interview is going to be posted on an online movie subscription web site. It's for a major corporation so I don't think I should be asking to much about all the drugs but more about the process of taking 7 years to make the doc and seeing one band reach somewhat commercial success and the other implode and fail.
Even though the BJM guy seems to a smacked out lunatic they are much more talented the the Dandy's. That last album blew!

I think the Dandys suck in comparison to Brian Jonestown Massacre.

The interview went well, I'll post it in the PBS after we edit it.
She accuses MTV for stealing her pilot and making "The Cut".
She also said Anton has been threatening to sue for song publishing rights. She feels like Anton's Courtney now that those 2 have made up and become friends.

cool, glad it went well.

Just saw this last night... I've loved the Brain Jonestown massacre for a long time. hard to watch the price that genius comes with.
Dandy warhols are just about the lamest band on the planet.
- radar0
Yeah, the movie is awesome.
I love that there were always fights at shows usually between the band.

The Dandy's are nothing compaired to BJM.

I see both the Dandy's and BJM will be at Lameapoloza this year.

nice job on the interview, fullerc, very interesting-thank you

Rudy, my coworker, did most of the interviewing but I did manage to ask a few questions...
Hell Ya I watched it 3x's then again after the interview. I suggest watching it with the special features turned on...you get to even more of the craziness that way.
That Communist from Cleveland makes Anton look sane!!!

I read that Anton kicked his habit and has been clean for 5 years... his past two albums have been equally brilliant as his first few. Good to see he didnt loose his touch after kicking smack.
- fullerc0
"Good to see he didnt loose his touch after kicking smack."
like Areosmith, Rolling Stones, STP, etc etc....
- danthon0
Ric is right. Anton has been clean for years and does not endorse the movie at all. I have not seen it but from what I have read so far it indeed portrays BJM to be raging junkies that fight all the time.
- fullerc0
Dee Dee Ramone was clean for years when he OD'd.
Once a junkie always a junkie.
