Cracked Actor (1975), Michael Murphy? February 6, 8pm, Feb 7, 1:30pm (some). View count: 1.5
This was a pretty fun little documentary, even though it has its share of 70s wankery. Bowie is actually coherent and says a decent amount of things that aren't the usual rock star meaningless babble, even though he's apparently in the midst of his cocaine-and-milk phase (and his fans are amazing stereotypical nutjobs). Probably the best part is his singing along or pretending to sing (there's no sync sound) backup to that 'You make me feel like a natural woman' song, which is playing on the car radio. Oh, Jub Jub.
Most of the concert footage is either at a terrible distance or right at Bowie's feet, which doesn't really make for terrific results, but still it's pretty cool to see some Diamond Dogs live (I love Diamond Dogs). Oh, and apparently he employed some cut-up technique in songwriting (including 'Sweet Thing'), which rules, of course.
We are all WE LOVE BOWIE HURRR, so we thought this was great, but probably no one without a serious interest in 70s hair and eyebrowlessness will want to sit through it in real life. This is okay.
Oh, I must note the wacky commenter on the imdb page:
Yes.

9 Bowie follows his dreams like a wise owl. 10 Bowie confronts nothing musically, except music itself.
Yes.
