WATCH ANVIL FOR FREE TONIGHT ON VH1
10.03.09I’m still very ashamed that I was too lazy to write a review of Anvil: The Story of Anvil, because it’s probably my second favorite movie of 2009 so far behind The Hurt Locker. And I’m going to put you in a hurt locker if you don’t watch Anvil for free tonight on vh-1. (see what I did there?) It’s showing at 10 pm ET/PT tonight on vh-1 and vh-1 Classics, and you should definitely watch it. Not because of the hurt locker thing, I was just kidding about that, I sold my hurt locker years ago, but because it’s seriously an awesome movie and you’ll probably cry. Because you’re a pussy. Boy, I’m hungover.

If they played Anvil in a double feature with Hitman, I might just have a Hart attack.
Slash said, “How many bands do you know that have been together for 30 years? The Stones, The Who, and Anvil.” Anvil rocks, and you should watch the documentary. Honestly, it’s one of the most emotional flicks I’ve ever seen. I’m not being sarcastic like a regular Filmdrunker right now, which is weird (I know). I just watched it, and I fucking bawled at points where Lips just poured his heart out for the band. I can’t recommend this film enough. These guys have struggled and struggled and struggled, and they still haven’t made it. They believe in the music, but no one believes in them. It’s the ultimate sad sack story, but you ultimately feel for these guys. They have a dream and they went for it.
I’m gay.
pysho, we’re called Filmdrunkards, not Filmdrunkers.
Haven’t you read The Mighty One’s blog on FD terminology? DOR SHO GHA!
Vance makes me want to see it, pysho makes me want to rip out and eat my own eyes.
What to do.
@Chino: If you decide to both, make sure you do the Vance option first.
um… DeFrank, I know they’re both Canuck Drunkettes, but Chino hasn’t made an appearance on this thread. I think you mean Al
I watched Anvil and then Metallica’s Some Kind of Monster. Made Metallica look like a bunch of whiny baby, self-important douchers. Some bands with genuine talent struggle so hard for so long and for all the right reasons while others roll in the dough and cry about it. I’d like to see Metallica play a show for one dude in the Czech Republic and not whine about it. Or *gasp* not get paid for playing.
/end rant
Also, I’m not a Canuck.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
My apologies Chino. I’m not really sure why I though that
*realizes hes almost as retarded as DeFrank*
thought
correction, I’m just as retarded
You probably thought that because I smell like Labatt’s and taste like maple syrup.
You look good in that toque, too, eh? Hoser.
I make this igloo look good.
This doco was originally titled Ann Veal! The Story of Ann Veal, but the film makers couldn’t remember what the subject looked like. True story!*
*Honest injuns!
Meh, not as bad as when I called the girlfriend Al.
Spooky. Just yesterday I called the boyfriend DeFrank.
Are you sure we’re not banging each other?
This doco was originally titled Ann Veal! The Story of Ann Veal
Who?
You might remember her as “Egg”, “Annabel” or “Ann Hog”. But you probably don’t.
Hurt Locker was awesome. Anvil was incredible. But I still think the year’s best film was Adventureland. Or Charley the Retarded Cat.
