Pope Ondine, the guy in sunglasses in the background who plays Scum Baby, seems pretty high here. And ohhhh, Edie... It's so strange that nobody in Hollywood never contacted her, and that she never had some kind of agent, except Chuck Wein. She was obviously star material.

She's so graceful, isn't she? Edie was a picture of grace, right up until the end. She is a legend, really.

@MowgliX dont get me wrong im not trying to compare west side story to the warriors haha but the whole gang idea for the book makes sense.

[MowgliX]

@PlanetNamedDesire But *much* more violent! I guess the problems that became more pronounced in New York City in the 1970s and '80s already existed in the '50s and '60s, just not that out in the open. Cramped living spaces and so on. Oh, and btw, the opening shot of West Side Story is beautiful.

@MowgliX oh was it, i didn't know that either. doesn't surprise me though what with west side story being around that time

@PlanetNamedDesire I didn't know until now that the film was based on a 1965 novel. Surreal!

@MowgliX im not a massive fan of the warriors but there is defo something cool about that film. i wasn't born till 85 so i defo couldn't have gone to see it when it came out haha

@PlanetNamedDesire Actually, I never saw The Warriors. I figured it was... hmmmm... too late 1970s even back yonder in '79. And also, I was a minor at the time and the movie had an age limit in my country due to excessive violence, so I couldn't go and see it. :)

For similar reasons I never saw Christiane F. (original German title: Christiane F. - Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo). I hate to see young people like that end up in misery, and in Christiane's case, a living hell. I still can't take it.

@tudorcito Thank you! I think so too! These are absolutely the best bits out of Vinyl. I only wish the Andy Warhol Foundation would re-release all of Andy's films, including Face and Lupe, on DVD or as downloads in restored condition. But they sit on them in Baltimore and won't release anything, because they make so much money from reproductions of Andy's art and from photos.
