WTF is "The man who fell to earth"???? With David bowie....

[HollywoodGothique]

"Man Who Fell to Earth" is a 1979 sci-fi film directed by Nicolas Roeg with Bowie in the title role, an alien who crashlands on Earth and cannot get back home.

You're welcome. I think MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH is my favorite Roeg, too.

OK, who else thought it was a little creepy when he pointed out Bowie's pubic hair in the photo...

I remember the first time I saw The Man Who Fell to Earth...So strange but eerie and beautifully shot. I loved it!

Mick Jagger was the Swinging Sixties made flesh. Along with his ragtag court of haute-bohemian gypsies like Marianne Faithfull and Anita Pallenberg, this son of a gym teacher and an Avon Lady was the embodiment of a high-low society that brought together models and photographers, plutocrats and aristocrats into one drugged-out, sexed-up jet-set happening.

This is what NYT New York Times wrote about Jagger.

Thanks for sharing this with us Bowie fans.. He deserves a lot of credit and I think he is a very successful artist. I would pay to see this come to Boston.
