Sisters on Film

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Bizarre film that. Never really watched it, but from what I gather it's that bird elizabeth berkely (you know, from saved by the bell) wandering around naked. Its by that Paul Veorhoeoeoeveoeven chap wot did starship troopers i think.

Presumably not porny enough to be good porn and with no plot/story to speak of its pretty much got nothing going for it.

Is this one of the few movies that ANdy decidedd NOT to have the Sisters taken off?

It's actually a really good film, and not for porn reasons - it has a hilarious vibe running through it, I can't believe anyone took it seriously.

Really? i find this sorta thing facinating - makes you wonder; maybe one of the producers of the Bill is/was a secret Sisters fan?

I rented the movie Showgirls only hear to Vision Thing because a friend told me the song was in the movie... I thought the movie pretty much sucked otherwise. MacLachlan should have stuck being Agent Cooper...

Vision Thing was also played on t.v. once, on Newman and Baddiel, if that's what it was called. A scene where they smashed up a shop, if I remember. They took out the vocals. But it still rocked.

I remember "Dominion" being used in a commercial for a videotape with carcrashs

Here's a 'Sisters on TV':

Apparently, 'Neverland' was used in an episode of Buffy, but only in the first airing of the show--on subsequent airings it had been replaced by an original composition from the show's music people. Now, I checked my local rerun schedules and the episode was on a few weeks ago, so I watched it and guess what? 'Neverland' wasn't playing--but it took me a second to be sure because the 'original composition' had the same drum beat!

Why do you suppose it only aired once? Maybe because it was playing in the background of some teenage vampire-wannabe club. Heheheh. :lol: :roll:

Dodgy darklings anyone?

This Corrosion was used on some crappy early-90's ITV cop show set in London's Docklands, can't remember what it was called maybe "Docklands" but maybe not "Dempsey and Makepeace".

Just remember this. This rabble you keep talking about does most of the working, paying and dying in this community.

They played I Was Wrong in the sweedish set of Big Brother. The song was meant to accompany the mood of the group after a turbulent voting, or a party that got out of control, or a sexual intercourse, I don't remember. Probably a mix of the three.

p.s Not that I ever watch Big Brother, I just happened to catch a glimpse of it while searching for CNN and Cartoon Channel. :wink:

I remember that, wasn't it in 1990/91 and the teen in question was suffering from schizophrenia? :eek:
