*vomits* just watched The Wall

That was probably the worst movie I have ever seen.  This is now officially my most disliked album, I never did like it (its not JUST because of the movie), but this film, and now seeing what it is all about, and how Floyd chose to portray it....dear god, unbelieveable.

its not the best Floyd album.
The movie is pretty horrible too.

Yeah, i will give the cartoon parts the edge...animation is always fun to watch.

About the music, I can think of things so much worser, I'd make out a whole catalogue. Pink Floyd would have at least 5-6 projects below The Wall, as music.

The interpretation of the album into a movie is indeed tad decreptive, still also the movie lives to a standard. I believe that ultimately the challenge resumes not to *vomitting* or *cheering*, but to having or not an affinity towards that or, even more, of understanding it or not.

im just voicing an opinion i dont mean to offend...i am just interested in hearing how people feel also.

lol...if only a had some friends over here with me we would start making fun of it or something to pass the time, rather I had to sit here alone, and in pain!

Oh I see. I personally like some of the songs a lot, but some of them are quite bad. A very uneven album for me. Haven't seen the movie though.

The album is great, but the movie is even better. I'd rate it five stars without a doubt.

I endorse your opinion completely (though you never realised I was a woman before a few days ago...). I saw the film when it was first released, but I have never really wanted to watch it again, as some scenes were a bit too strong for my delicate sensibilities (you know, being a lady and all that...). I also agree that Geldof was not the best choice as a protagonist, though at the time he was hot property because of the Live Aid thing.

That said, I love the album, especially as I was so lucky as to witness it performed by the band in 1980 at London's Earls Court. It may be uneven and all that, and it's undeniably dark and depressing - however, it contains some of the strongest ever PF songs, notably the perhaps overplayed but never overrated "Comfortably Numb".
