I really thought this would be cool and again this was a movie I had wanted to see for many years. I will say that it was a good job by Gary Oldman, but this was boooooring. I suppose the "based on a true story" part made it okay, but geez I was totally not into this. It really didn't go anywhere, other than to show daily life. There was a lot of skipping from scene to scene. I actually found myself wondering why they were in like 15-20 different houses throughout the movie. I guess it took place over many years? Who cares.
Actually, from what I've just read, it's apparently not too close to being based on a true story and people who were close to Sid didn't want to have anything to do with the movie, not like punk guys would want to do that anyway.
I like punk music etc., but didn't like this flick. I think I'm slightly stupider now for seeing this. Good day.

Sorry you feel this way, homie. I own this piece. Criterion version to boot. It's a great performance by Oldman. Good day, sir.
Yeah, I just couldn't get into it at all. The plot was barely anything but them partying. I guess it's his life, but it wasn't my thang - I'd rather see Frente! in concert than see this movie again.
