Sundance 2009 - The Doors

[cellardoor199991]

WTF?! Some of you are crying becuase you think Ray is being cranky. The guy has a sense of humor, he's jut teasing. God, you people are a bunch of pussies

[cellardoor199991]

Ray looked like Lennon when he was younger

[cellardoor199991]

Sad how Densmore never wants to be in the same room as the rest of the guys

[tsakalos25]

THEY ARE NOT THE DOORS.THE DOORS IS JIM

[cmskid20]

@tsakalos25 That's not true.

[tsakalos25]

@cmskid20

it's true

[fernandoalive]

they should put eddie vedder insted of johnny depp..but johnny did a good job anyways

[captainscizo]

johnny depp is the narrator lol

[jaguaresybeatles]

hahaha look at min 1:07 instead oh john densmore they put ray manzarek

[BowetBurger]

@jaguaresybeatles that s not john densmore

[Treefreak1]

@jaguaresybeatles

That's not John Densmore, that's the director Tom DiCillio

[THRASHEDTILLDEATH]

There such an amazing band god I was put in the wrong decade this decade is so tasteless and has no originality it's pop and rap who wants that ?

[tsakalos25]

THEY ARE NOT THE DOORS

THE ORIGINAL DOORS IS

JIM MORISSON

RAY MANZAREK

JOHN DENSMORE

ROBBY KRIEGER

[MrTamerlan1980]

if jim would returned back he would not recognized his co workers....they became old..

[stpahd]

well, i see John is still taking a different path by not being part of this.. :( i think Ray is StILL on the coke. he's super hyper. lol. jk.

[stpahd]

well, i see John is still taking a different path by not being part of this.. :(

[209116032]

It's so goddamn stupid how people end up arguing in the goddamn comments section like raving idiots. Chill the hell out.

Nice to see good ol' Ray and Robbie full of spirit. :3 Love them.

[docturlough]

Wow, it is surreal seeing them now....They are still awesome!!

[themightymufin]

@lovetaylorlautner100 jejeje. .thanks, i was just following ray's lead and poking fun. .

[lovetaylorlautner100]

LOL, RAY " IM NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT OLIVER STONES, NOW WHAT DID HE CALL IT NICKSSION?" ♥

[Sixtiesera]

6 dislikes Wow haha idiots!

[2893sine]

wow there getting old

[Merrida100]

@2893sine What the fuck do you think, asswipe? YOU are going to get old too. Why does it surprise you that they're older now than the pictures you see of them 40 years ago? People expect no one's going to age or change. They haven't lost their talent and they're giving good interviews and their performances are still excellent. So what's the difference?

[2893sine]

@Merrida100 i know dum ass i was just saying that i love the doors and i know they still got talent so fuck you and i know everybody gets old

[Merrida100]

@2893sine Oh, I'm guessing mommy didn't breast feed you when you were a child.  All that hostility. Try an anger management course.

[bruces3]

The Doors movie was amusing and fun, but thats it. I just bought this doc. and besides all the footage i hadn't seen on The Doors now I've got the accurate picture of them.

[themightymufin]

did he make a movie about the doors? i dont remember.

[lovetaylorlautner100]

@themightymufin there was the doors movie with val kilmer and the actual story about the doors, its actually really good but i didnt really like the one with kilmer cause they made jim morrison an asshole!

[Ladyli63]

Finally a movie about the real Doors.

It was time to end the bad image,with wich director,Oliver Stone..."priviliged",JIM MORRISAN!

[tayluvmj]

I thought the movie was very well made, val kilmer was Jim Morrison in that film he was briliant, im sure somethings werent quite to the T at times but it was still a great movie.

[sabonisrules]

Everyone is a critic, I loved the film, but I would have liked a talking head in the film. Anyhow, it was a brilliant movie. I felt sorry for Jim being so hooked on alcohol...it's horrible watching someone suffer from addiction like that.

[kickback4me]

when this coming out on dvd??? cant wait 2 see it

[NathFilms]

@kickback4me

i got it now, if u havent got it already, and im from Australia

[crowbat]

this movie is awesome i watched it in a hallowed daze

[wisesatyr72]

wow everyone looked super old..myabe Jim did the right thing lol cant wait to see this movie..Narrated by Johnny Depp, American Masters: When Youre Strange is the first feature documentary about The Doors, premiering nationally Wednesday, May 12, 2010 at 9 p.m. (ET) on PBS (check local listings)

[FilhodeViriato]

Is this movie already availablel to watche???Is this the movie narrated by jonhy deep??

[oeyvind93]

want it on BluRay!

[easycat21]

Ray needs to have his own radio show. or needs to be medicated. LOL Love him...

[givintomemike]

I'm sorry, but I have to add something else. Jim Morrison was soooooooo DAMN FINE!!!!!!!!!!! If I were alive back then (I'm 35) I'd be aaaaallllllll over THAT! He's like Michael Angelo's David....for REAL!!!! That man was beautiful!!! And an amazing voice too! I don't understand how some people say he couldn't sing....BULLSHIT!!! Love his voice...everything!!!

[givintomemike]

This is great! I am a huge Doors fan! I think I'm more than a fan. They're my favorite band ever! I have every album and I think poster ever made!!! I have a lot anyways! This is great seeing you guys all together just chilling and talking about things! Amazing! I wish Jim were still with us though.

[SeniorConcha]

Manzarek, stop acting like an rock star and stop smashing the Morrison bones, u r and was a Vainilla guy, trying to be an mystic duuuuuuude, and ur poor pet Krieger, just fallow ur stupids comments

[Chrisdrumz]

"Four friends came together"? Well,not exactly. More like two guys who were sort of friends in college decided to start a band and needed a guitar player who also knew a drummer. Thus THE DOORS were born. Any "friendships" (between Jim and the others)that began at that point were pretty much dissolved within 3 or 4 years.

[classicrockhead1969]

i CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT!

wHAT HAPPEND TO jOHN? wHY IS HE NEVER AROUND ANYMORE?

[990305]

@classicrockhead1969 Some how it seems John has these mood swings, he sued the Doors. And he suffers from tinianitus.

[thecrystalshiplsd]

yeah that was john they suck

[ilikeblondie]

ray was the guy sitting by himself on the chair not the first guy they said he was

[tomeeeee1]

check it out fools, in two hundred years, if we still have a society, people will be asking about these Doors guys. We are lucky enough to get to see them in person, and Densmore is a good drummer but his book was pretty pathetic, but I'm still lucky to be "first person".

[jz12891]

Where's the original drummer?

[TheKenney81]

he dont go near ray or rob anymore, they had a big fall out in 2003

[TheGradumate]

There still trying to get this documovie out in theatre man fuk that.

[caruk25]

they are fucking idiots,the man who is speaking first is not ray

[Fazolina]

@caruk25 hahahaha most definetly NOT

[xEJD2x]

umm yeah it is ray dude, the pianoist for the doors in the flesh. it was 2009 dude hes fucking old as hell of course hes not gonna look the same

[FairSOLDIER13]

Seriously? I liked the Doors movie, I agree though, Stone didn't capture Morrison right, he almost made him seem like an arrogant alcoholic asshole. But I am a big fan of Val Kilmer and I think he just played the part he was given and played it well. Anyways I don't know how much room I have to talk cause I'm not a hardcore Doors fan, I am basically a newbie at this stuff haha. I'm a metalhead and I think the Doors may be the only classic rock band worth listening to.

[FairSOLDIER13]

Cause I think the beatles suck, the stones were alright, but Jim Morrison was just so interesting and his voice was probably the most amazing thing in music history.

[petermrb81]

great work guys hope to see more like this p.s. val kilmer  stick to your batman gigs or drive a truck or something

[doorsfan4ourever]

to yoirock45- this is still in film festivals, but i heard that it's coming to DVD soon

[malleebull75]

alright alright alright!

[yoirock45]

is this going into theatres? is it on DVD?

[nobody36]

ray and robbie aren't the doors.... they're salesmen who wear their souls on their faces..... if jim were alive today, he'd be ashamed of them.......... john is the only true doors member left.........

[AshtrayPolitics]

how do you know what jim would want or feel, you didnt know the guy.

[nobody36]

when jim was alive, they sold light my fire to a car commercial and he was far from thrilled....... besides, you know jim as well as i do, i don't think you're in any position to say i'm wrong....... happy new year by the way.............

[AshtrayPolitics]

first of all thank you. Happy new year to you as well. if you havent read it yet i suggest you pick up a book on him called life death legend or something akin to that out of the four books i read about the doors i felt that was the most informative.

once again h.n.y.

[CLOVERFEILD1234]

well i agree with the jim part. but ray and all of them sorta wennt off with that after jims death. they moved on they already made their footprint on society

[thebsprky180]

Thanks You!!

[HarryPalma]

just saw this documentary on ifc,it's pretty cool johnny depp did the narrating too.

[HarryPalma]

hey rusty! quit typing this same bullshit everywhere...it makes u look stupid dude!!

[Rusty0555]

Oliver Stone my have created of load of hogwash in terms of truthful fact. But he definitely delivered a new audience and a truckload of keen fans to the doorsteps of desperate Doors shareholders. Will we see the impact both in fan base increase, and box office earnings from When You're Strange? Not if the TRUTH has anything to do with it. Keep your anecdotal truths and precious Doors facts; I'm going on the ride.

[GmManze]

Where Is John???Is He Ok??

[sRANDYkopec]

Yes he is. But they had problems with law, so John left them...he is selfishy idiot in this..

[glimmer2158]

Why does Robbie Krieger look like he's 90 years old?

[halconsurf]

too much LSD back in the days.....try to play "the end" with your brain acid-washed.....scary!

[Partoftheratpack]

if any f**kwit asked who was that playing jim morrison they need shooting.

[metriod87]

this dvds never comin out

[gaddjodilo]

so where's new footage? there's no new in this trailer

[TheLizardKing1967]

The host is GAY !! WAKE UP !!

[rmcnealy123]

The host is a douchebag... seriously

[speedycyclist13]

thats great man your husbands verly luky i love this band so much i cant wait to c it on dvd whenever that will be

[Tones4me1]

My husband was 16 years old when his band opened for the Doors on their first tour! Great memories of an amazing time in history.

[Monchoso17]

i whant it on dvd!!!

[backdoorman1971]

ray is a cranky genius ! love the doors*****

[Rusty0555]

This movie is the best thing that could have happened financially to the remaining Doors, lets face it, the remaining Doors were just a back up band, or a vehicle to assist in the launching of a career of one of the most charismatic and enigmatic singers in rock history.

I hate seeing the remaining Doors bitching about Oliver Stones interpretation of Jim Morrisons life as if they fucking own the guy. The Doors movie is what rekindled interest in the band some 20 years after Morrison die

[gunsass]

yah but for all the wrong reasons.....and if it wasnt for that "back up band" jim morrison would have never been famouse you douche

[Zwika47]

And you probably think Oliver Stone's interpretation is fact.

[universal24]

Does anyone know when this comes out on DVD or if there is anywhere on the internet to view it??

[heckyesimlindsay]

i keeep asking the same question, IM DYING TO KNOW!

[paaskeharen77]

WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD THIS MOVIE

[Klaniarhs13]

1.07 he isnt manzarek...hahaha

[glemercier]

I think it´s a little pretentious to claim that there is such a thing as "the real story" or the definitive version about anything. Everybody remembers o thinks about these events in many different ways, especially the people directly involved in them.

I´m a long time Doors fan and I know that most of what Oliver Stone shows in his movie is a lot of crap, but I´m also a HUGE Oliver Stone fan and I have to say that, on it´s own, "The Doors" is fine piece of cinema.

[ole4bryantv12]

i saw this film yesterday, and i thought it was a great film! but i question myself yesterday who was playing the role of Jim Morrison, and i just got a answer.. haha

Great Documentary!

[RetroGuy5000]

WOW!!!!!!!!!! so theres the 2 members of The Doors and umm yeah 2 other guys.I wish i could meet Ray Robby and John!! R.I.P Jim

[korky94]

Question to anyone know knows

1) Is this gonna be screened anywhere in Northern California? San Fran area?

2) When is this dvd coming out?

[peterhangi]

And you behaving like an admin here. Dont do that everybody will hate you... Maybe thats what u want , MY FRIEND but I dont take the piss. Watch yourself...

[Jeet27]

Tell all the people that you see, it's just 'me'

[peterhangi]

Johnny Cash and Jim Morrison portray was based on their dark side because its more interesting on trash movies. But I hope we all want to know who was the real Jim cause I f my child will watch these movies may say its cool to take drugs and alkohol to be superstar blablabla. Its very bad.

Jim Morrison could see the world as it was really.

People haunting their career and ruin other people's life because they think they are "better" then mediocre people.

[whenevero]

jim would have no time for u

[Rusty0555]

I can appreciate your passionate perspective, in regards to the previous comments I made on the remaining doors, but I have come across this type of self indulgent and narcissistic behavior before from other bands. In the end, it just stirs up nostalgia from old fans, and confuses new fans, I say; let the music speak for itself.

[peterhangi]

How do you know that ,I was inspired by his passion so I take passion in an another area what Im good at.

[Rusty0555]

Sometimes I feel the remaining Doors tend to live and thrive off the carcass of what was one James Douglas Morrison, and exist off the remnants of an era of turmoil, which occurred more than forty years ago. They have romanticized Jim Morrison to such mythical and multi-dimensional proportions; it is difficult to recognize that he was just a singer/songwriter. Dont embarrass and belittle yourselves by continually flogging this dead horse for your own selfish agendas.

[gwmod]

this film looks great though!!!

[whenevero]

what the doors where a great band maybe the best of all time shout your face man

[Rusty0555]

I loved the Doors as a band in their heyday, and still play their music, but I think the Doors myth has grown so distorted and unfamiliar; it is hard to recognise whether Ray is selling a consumer product or genuinely trying to maintain an interest in the Doors music, values and principles to a new generation of fans. I happen to think the former.

[imborn2perform]

agreed!

[clickswitchh]

the director is really full of himself

[PepperWhite62]

Doors Fest April 2002. I ask Ray Manzarek " would you be interested in a new more factual film about The Doors?"

His answer: " No way man, no way I lived it man, really no way man."

I wonder if that whore had anything to do with this film's production?

Mentions Paul Ferrara but doesn't mention Frank Lisciandro or Babe Hill that also shot this footage. Raymond Daniel Mnaczarek is a whore peddeling dead flesh.

[CPpunk132]

robby looks like shit

[LSDemonoid]

Im happy there is gonna be a high quality documentary for them after all these years,mabey do the band some justice after previous attempts.

[kblixt]

The oliver stone film may not have been accurate at all, but it was still funnier than shit.

[shatterdwing]

Johnny Depp has been officially announced as the Narrator for the commercial release!

[nattt23]

Ahhh yeh! Johnny's good at the aul narrating! Done it for HST too.

[eaglenow5]

shut up ray

[nikebrooklyn]

oliver Stones version wasnt even all true, it was all lies thats why they are saying this film is based on the truth i dont know about the guy that portrayed jim but i prefer seeing the real jim Morrison...

when does this come out though??

[PepperWhite62]

Stone and Kilmer should both be taken out and shot for portraying Morrison as a unfocusing monotone dolt. Pure fiction at it's best.

[willypaul7]

WHERE IS JOHN DENSMORE???

[fogdog60]

yah wtf he needs to bury the hatchet with ray and robbie and move on

[kopaygorod]

he left the doors

[jbizzle2326]

he is an ass he and morrison's dad(who jim strongly disliked if not hated) sued ray and robbie for i believe 2 million for using the name the doors.

[PepperWhite62]

Not sure what he sued for but John Densmore is no asshole and he won in court.

[jbizzle2326]

dude he sued them for what i was talking about that is an asshole thing, then suing with Morison's dad that is extremely gay, and he is an asshole, he was not a good drummer, he put some Hispanic beats on to make it sound hard it was easy.

[PepperWhite62]

he felt using TheDoors name wasn't right and a court agreed, He sued in conjunction with both holders of the Morrison estate,Steve Morrison and Corky Courson. Gay? Easy? Son you are greasy!

[jbizzle2326]

way to make one of the worst rhymes i have ever heard, and yes they were easy. That is still sueing with them, you reworded what i said that doesn't change the fact he did. And they used the name the doors after Jim died, he is a hypocrite.

[Axloooo]

they aren't the doors without jim, they are old now, let them do their own things

[harveydents]

the interviewer is a fucking idiot

[bwil0401]

Why don't they have a prerequisite ode to the audience (that are primarily educated Doors fans) that "the interview here barely acknowledges Oliver Stone's version... (with good reason!) The thing is: IS that the band (and truly educated public DOORS fan) shouldn't be dissing Kilmer.. Dude did alright portraying Morrison.. Its the manner in which they (Stone) portrayed MoJo is what brings the film down... Tragic Genius.. The intrigue should have been placed on his intellectual self-awareness...

[fogdog60]

he portrayed the alcoholic crazy side of Morrison brilliantly however the movie didnt make much of an effort to portray the sensitive poet intellectual side of morrison.

[dxakis]

Great!!Can't wait for it!!And the most nice thing about this movie is that Jim Morrison is not going to be replaced by no one!!

[MorrisonHotel87]

The host of this is a dick. Good interview though.

[Rusty0555]

I feel The Doors made a huge mistake allowing this guy to direct a movie with this type of intimate and historic film footage. The result of When Youre Strange has come off as little more than a DVD supplement; Oliver Stones version of Jim Morrisons life may have had its flaws, but it was by far, better researched and more creatively directed by Stone.

[PepperWhite62]

Researched? What color is the sky on the planet you are from? That was not Jim's real personality and it portrayed events that never happened. It was trash.

[Rusty0555]

Honestly, 98% of the Doors doco created by Tom Dicillo could have been downloaded from Doors archival video footage off YouTube and edited by an amateur undergraduate filmmaker. The film implies Doors 101 for dummies, and is creatively incompetent.

[kendostick58]

yea but not alot. because from what im told, they have actuall footage from miami. no thats not on youtube

[Rusty0555]

No video footage, only audio.

[kendostick58]

yea. but they acctually have video for the movie

[Rusty0555]

I have read reviews of the new film that indicates that the main content, pathos and chronological sequences of events were previously covered in the Doors movie.

IMHO, stakeholders in the bands legacy tend to like to maintain the mythical sensationalistic side of the doors in the collective psyche for their own personal agendas. They just dont like respected directors like Oliver Stone creating the agendas.

[mbtemlett]

when is this film released!!!???

[musicmorgan12]

i cant fuckin wait to see this

[pieceofpaper1]

the oliver stone film may not hve been accurate, but it was still funnier than shit.

[murphy268]

no nobody was playing jim morrison

jim morrison was playing jim morrison

[TheLizardKing1967]

This is GREAT !!!

[rollingdeaddoors]

when does this release?

[117246]

happy birthday ray!

[tohotxox]

cool! olaver stone didnt hit the mark just rite in his version.

[JarawaraMusic]

Make the Myths.

[christopherwildchild]

NO limits, No Laws.

[orbital92hotmail]

Yeah Ray does let his ego get out of control. He acts as if he was the only one who new Jim. Its crazy to think Jim`s Dad is still alive.

[vanador1]

Jim's Dad and Mum are both Dead.

[christopherwildchild]

Both his parents are NOT dead, both alive and helped with this documentary

[vanador1]

Steve - November, 17th 2008

Clara - December, 29th 2005

RIP

[JcjR1988]

his dads dead

[dancindandanson]

Danny Sugarman; back from the grave to direct this thing?

[davetoporek]

keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel

[johndavid1969]

Come on Ray,Release the Whole Isle of Wight concert or the Toronto Festival.These are the footage we never got to see.This movie looks like feast of friends meets Hwy. All footage thats already out there put together.

[orbital92hotmail]

Ray does seem to be a bit of a knob. I`ve read loads of books on the doors and the oliver stone movie wasn`t that bad. PLus %99.9 of the footage here has already been seen.

[dancindandanson]

The 'director' seems like more of a knob. As they implied, the story's already written so he's a glorified editor, really. Looking forward to seeing it, though.

[PepperWhite62]

Stone's movie is and will always be pure junk. Characters were created, events portrayed that never happened. WAKE UP! Kilmer played Jim as a unfocusing monotone dolt. The real Morrison was a lot deeper than Stone ever let on.

[reznorfan15]

densmore never is around is he?

[AXISOFHENDRIX]

looking at the footage here-- NONE OF IT IS NEW - its been available all over the place for years. the footage of Jim in the car is from his movie Feast of Friends.

[AXISOFHENDRIX]

Ray is goof. He signed of on the Stone movie-- now he condems it

[drunkskunk005]

I agree...I've got to see this.  I hope it really does have new footage.

[HuntersMoon73]

Man I wish I could see this film NOW. I'm in tears, just verklempft or whatever that word is. I want to see all the rare footage.

Kelvin, I think Ray is just outgoing and fairly high energy. Most of the time he's just riffing, just goofing - he means no harm :)

[kelvinkloud]

densmore sure doesnt feel that way hmoon. look ray is very talented & obviously a key component of their talents. I just feel the guy discredits the bands great legacy when he spouts all his bs. frankly it comes off explotiative, all the hippy guru, satyrs jumping out of jim's ass bs. get real, its pretty transparent the dude's let his ego/greed out of control. the dated new age psycho-babble & jim=God is so obvious a front to add another villa in the wine valley. john is right, jim would puke.

[AndrewMann552]

They should have shown more rare clips in the preview, every other shot is already available on some Doors collection DVD.

[kelvinkloud]

when ray is a rm, bring your oxogen tank, the dude could suck the oxogen out of the superdome... narcissim cubed.

[violentblossom]

they messed up and called the first guy "Ray"....

[starbaby105]

Whoo!! Love the Doors!!!

Ray is always on a high mission

and Robby is always smooth!

[spiritualED]

Oooooooooooooooh FUCK YEAH!!!

Can't wait for this to KICKIN' IT WIDE!!!

THE DOORS RULE!

[shamanking022]

You said it man!!!!!!!
