I haven't watched Quadrophenia since a brief stint as a wannabe youth Mod. Which reminds me, I need to dig up my military parka and put it back in service, now that I have like a billion patches to put on it. Netflix queue-erized.

I liked that the movie had to do with the story than the band. It would have been a good story even without the music. Also, +1 for full frontal male nudity. And, I'll be watching movies as I ride the trainer this winter, so it's still cycling related. Sort of. I sort of like Wikipedia’s description:

(And I don't <i>just</i> mean The Wall.) Case in point, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081441/" rel="nofollow">Rude Boy</a>. It's got The Clash in it, it couldn't possibly suck, right? Wrong. Drove me nuts, so I eventually just fast-forwarded through to the live music parts. Oh well, glad you like Quadra... Quadropeneene... the movie. :) P.S. Yes! A Movies section!
