New film!

Ooohhh...aahhhh...

I imagine it'll go straight to streaming, but that's OK with me. I'm excited! (Note: I am a late convert - basically became a big fan in the last decade or so.)

I interviewed Russell a few years ago, and he was a delight.

that trailer is riddled with celebs whose opinion of Sparks holds no interest for me. I am curious to see the film, but Jason Schwartzmann? Flea? Patton Oswalt? C'mon!

Maybe the idea is to introduce, say, Red Hot Chili Peppers fans, to Sparks? Like, if we throw all these celebs on screen, we’ll get a much bigger audience then just Sparks fans. Maybe they’ll get some new fans. (Even as old fans might say “who cares?”)

Carn't wait!! Don't care about the celebs. just the archival footage is making my brain melt. [and where is that comprehensive video album promised 20 years ago…] Please oh god of DVDs, deliver unto me on this one as I smite the Streaming Demons®!
Here is the trailer
