Pregnant Sally Posted August 13, 2019 Totally. Which is why I'm finding it at the theater, have some nostalgia style popcorn while I'm at it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pregnant Sally Posted August 13, 2019 And what the hell happened to the Pet Shop Boys, British folk? They're so good, do they do nothing anymore? I could see them maturing with the times quite nicely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pregnant Sally Posted August 13, 2019 I found the showing, not far from my workplace so I can head on over sometime after work, starting this Friday. Or I could go to the matinee general and spend 10.99 as opposed to 14.99. Will need that three dollar saving to help with my junk food bill while being entertained. I need to be entertained right. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They guested with The Killers at Glastonbury this year, and they're headlining a show in Hyde Park next month. I might go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rizla Posted August 13, 2019 Is that a thing, booking cinema seats? I never do, I just turn up. I've never not got in. Not that I go often. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-Sussudio- Posted August 13, 2019 Hearing It's A Sin suddenly blast through those cinema speakers was one of my favourite parts about the film when I saw it in Glasgow a month or so ago. One, because it's an awesome song, and two because it set up the era nicely. It could have easily opened with a Bruce song but took another route. Good choice, I think. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember It's A Sin being a huuuge hit in North America back in the day, I've heard it cranked out of a lot of speakers through the years, such a great tune. Beats West End Girls, another mighty big hit, by some miles and miles. Although, don't mind one that either really. Making a movie on anyone musician should never preclude other artists, wouldn't even make any bloody sense. They don't exist in a vaccuum. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't even a sparkle in my Dad's eyes when the song came out but thankfully my mother, a child of the 80's and a huge lover of pop chart music, made sure I knew such songs whilst growing up. I agree that it also beats West End Girls. I've never really listened to Pet Shop Boys outside of a greatest hits compilation but maybe I should.

Pregnant Sally Posted August 13, 2019 This thread has been too long for my old brain, but have you heard their version of Bruce's Last to Die or have I asked you that already? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could see them maturing with the times quite nicely. Pet Shop Boys are still at it! I'm sure they toured and played the O2 in London in recent years. BBC Radio 2 have an end of summer event every year now (making use of the stage that is set up each year in Hyde Park, London) with several artists all playing on the same bill (think they maybe call it their "festival in a day") - this Sept amongst others Status Quo and Simply Red are on the bill but their "headline act" are The Pet Shop Boys! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not recently but I remember seeing a live video of it on here some years ago before I actually joined. I recall it being quite decent actually. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
