I guess I don't know what acting is- I found him totally captivating. I can't think of anyone better for the role.

And I shan't get on board, either. This is a beautiful clip. Thanks for posting.

He's good in every movie. I discovered him in the movie Labyrinth.

At that time, Bowie WAS Baal.  Brecht would have loved him in the role!

For those who don't already know it, David Bowie's son, Duncan Jones, is a self-taught movie director, whose premiere movie "Moon" (starring Sam Rockwell and the voice of Kevin Spacey, a la Hal in 2001: A Space Odyssey) which was nominated for 7 BAFTA awards (the British equivalent of the American Emmy) and for which he personally won 2. His current DVD release "Source Code" is equally appealing. There are certainly strong talent genes in that family!

I've always wanted to see this, being a fan of the album - thank you very much for sharing this with us.

Isn't the Ichthyosaurus water dwelling anyway? I wouldn't think the flood would bother it. Perhaps that's the whole point of that little speech...

I've never seen this before. What a jewel. Bowie is so talented. I have the BOWIE BAAL songs in vinyl and love it!

[Michael Walsh]

Dave, they are shuttin' down your links as I watch them so much. Just got the vinyl version going on variable speed. Great stuff. Michael.

Wrong... so wrong.

God !! They sure made him look like a real scuzz in this,.. I can tell that already !! I'm not used to seeing Bowie look scuzzy.
