Title: if you like the pistols you won't like this DVD
Review: the director julien temple didn't understand what a great band the sex pistols were. he had all this great film-material of the pistols live-performances. what did he do? he wripped it all apart. every song is permanently interrupted by some footage that is supposed to illustrate some part of the pistols history. you have the pistols playing a song and after the first chorus it cuts to some actors in an old play or a tv-show with comedians. it is really annoying. this film is more about the director trying to be creative and illustrating his associations with absurd metaphors than about the band the sex pistols. it seems one more example of some filmmakers thinking the only thing interesting about a band is a whole lot of unknown music-journalists talking about them. how sad! the footage of the pistols on stage looks like it's great. why didn't they show the footage. why didn't they have them play their songs from the beginning to the end??
