In Movies

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.

Also in South Park, the Timmy 2000 episode (season 4 episode 4):

The band that Timmy (and the Lords of the Underworld) beat in the "battle of the bands" is called "Sisters Of Mercy Hold No Pain Against the Dark Lord"
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

I can't believe no ones mentioned it yet, but there is an early Buffy episode in an underground "goth" ish/vampire club where they are listening to Floodland - can't remember which song. At the end of the episode on the original broadcast it says "this episode features music from the Sisters of Mercy" and shows the Floodland cover.

Season 2 Episode 7 "Lie To Me" it was.

But the music was changed for the DVD release.

Everyone just gloss over the fact that I was sad enough to know that...

I remember that the poster for the Albert Hall gig back in 1985 was in the background on Eastenders, many times :roll:

A BBC TV drama film in 1990 or 1991 about a youth with schizophrenia - he had a Floodland poster on his bedroom wall 8)
