Pretty much, yeah. 

I saw this when it came out and  was gripped while watching it although the audience laughed a few times when they weren't supposed to. After the lights came up...well, some movies are just two hours of entertainment and nothing more. 

Nastassja was yummy.  
 
I saw this when it premiered as well.  It was nothing great, but it was fun.  Nastassja was yummy in it, so was Annette O'Toole.

Like the wife says...  Never trust anything that walks in it's own poop and then jumps on counters.
 
Dogs not only walk in poop, but they eat it, drink from the toilet, then lick your face.  Gonna light them up too?  {#No}

My favorite part of this song is the soulful backing vocals. Great stuff.

Oh, even better, this is the full-length version. Bowie's double CD greatest hits features the shortened single version of this and a bunch of his other songs, which is annoying.

Is this a recent recording of this song?  Bowie sounds like an old man here - but a really, really, rockin' old man!

Yeah, it wrecked what was otherwise an historically accurate bit of cinema.

Me thinks the incongruity was the point.

I remember seeing David Bowie on TV when I was a kid around the time this song came out and I was petrified. He was such a striking and strange looking person. I liked the music, and still do, but at the time, I had to change the channel :)

I think people get too caught up in the backstory on Bowie to appreciate the music. GIven when this came out and the times in which it was written, this is some serious sh _ _ . He is one great artisit regardless of what you think about him personally.....

this is the slow remix version. as others have mentioned, try the faster one on the Let's Dance album. it's even better and got better production


This is not a remix. It is the original from the Cat People Soundtrack.

No Essex, you are on track.

On another note, I'm glad you like Porcupine Tree. They are playing in Houston and Dallas in mid April. You should definitely check them out! Awesome band live.

What Bowie songs do you like?

 
Have you twenty hours?  Easier to tell you what albums I don't like.

There's Never Let Me Down.  Parts of Tonight.  Parts of the Deram Album.  Parts of Let's Dance. 

Part's of Hours.  A song or two on Reality.  That about covers it.

This is the movie version actually recorded for the movie: i assume the gist for the change in pace was related to the dramatic requirements of the movie's director.
