Henry Rollins in 'The Alibi'


I attended a Spoken Word performance with Henry Rollins a couple of days ago,
and among other things he talked about his part in this movie and some backstage trivia.

His performance was brilliant, and based upon what he said, this movie sounds very amusing. Looking forward to this one!

I saw Henry's spoken word show on the 24th, and yes he was very amusing while talking about this film - but I can't help getting the impression that his anecdotes are going to end up much funnier than the film itself...

I saw him on the 29th in Hammersmith!
I almost peed my pants at "pussy whip for the lactose intolerant" :)

reply

I was at the Hammersmith one too...it was so funny. I can't believe he talked for three hours though...VALUE FOR MONEY OR WHAT!!!

He was great. I dont reckon the film will be much cop but it'll be worth a watch coz his story about it was funn enough.

"I just have one concern... do you make a Pussy Whip product for the lactose and tolerant?" - Henry *beep* Rollins

reply

lactose 'intolerent' - it's when people can't eat too many dairy products LOL not lactose AND tolerent LOL - I saw HR too and he was fab talking about this.

reply

Yes but what date is it out in the UK? I was at the Hammersmith show as well and I damn near fell off my chair when the "pussy whip for lactose intolerants" line came along. I can't wait to see if it was left in the film. I can't see a release date anywhere on this site (maybe I'm just blind.)And I just HAD to download "I can't get behind that" after the very amusing William Shatner story (and very convincing impersonation of 'the good Captain'.) If you haven't yet listenend to it - do it now.

<<when the "pussy whip for lactose intolerants" line came along. I can't wait to see if it was left in the film>>

I just saw him last night at the Vic in Chicago. He gave us the anecdote of The Alibi. The whole theater roared with laughter at the pussy whip line.

He mentioned that it was a rehearsal take, and won't be in the film. Bummer. I'd pay to see that.

he was so damn funny last night. The whole show was worth the standing out in the cold wind waiting for him. I got an autograph, hug and a pic. He really is such a nice guy.

i don't think the line is in the film... least not the US version. I saw the movie today and I'm sure that line would have stuck out...

i saw him in atlanta in 2001, and he walked out on stage carrying a stool and a bottle of water, he puts the bottle on the stool, and he rants and raves for 3 hours, standing/jumping around, never once does he sit on the stool nor does he open the bottle of water! what a machine

reply

I saw him in Melbourne, Australia last night (I think that makes it about 4 times I've seen him, now) and he was unbelievable. Ranting and raving, like mad, without stopping for about 2 and a half hours. The man is a champion !

reply

I got to see him last nite. For some reason the show started at nine "instead of eight like his shows ususally start"(those were his words). So I only got to see him for 2 hours. While I don't feel cheated at all, I'm jealous of everyone else that got more time than I did. What an incredible man.

Saw him tonight in Milwaukee. He's great. I also think his stories about the movie are going to be better than the movie itself, but I'll try to check it out anyway.

reply

hey I just caught the late show Henry did in Portland, if I had made it to the first I would have happily paid to see him again, that man is brilliant, he didnt talk about this movie, but I would love to see it.

reply

I saw the 7:00 show in Portland that night. That's too bad that he didn't talk about the film with you, he talked quite a bit about it on our show, and it was hilarious. Good to see someone else in Portland that appreciates Henry :)

reply

its all about black flag!

reply

i saw him in ann arbor on that tour. that lactose comment was funnier...but did he talk about the anal beads at any other stop?

reply

Henry Rollins for God!

Peter Griffin: You know those Germans; if you don't join the party, they come get you.

reply

Yep, he did talk about anal beads when he was in Atlanta. I should've brought a tape recorder...

Oh no! The dead have risen - and they're voting republican!

reply

If you missed it live, you can see the story on his dvd "Live in the Conversation Pit."
