With respect Ian, your only contact with the northern soul scene these days is via the internet - so in a way I can understand why you have such a poor opinion of it. Now, I have to admit to being very flattered by the fact that you are so bothered by me. But that said, I am not the least bit possessive. Passionate? Most definitely. My only gripe with this film has been whether they use the original music by the original artists. Now, while my persistence with this point has been annoying to some on here, I felt it a reasonable question that was worthy of being asked. I'm sure I am not alone in thinking this film has all the markings of being a cringe fest. But I will be the first person to hold my hands up and say I was wrong if it isn't. In fact - I would delight in being able to do so! But for me that will never happen if the music used in the film is by Duffy, Weller and co. Now while there are many people on here who aren't the least bit bothered about this - I don't feel I should have to apologise for not being one of them. Surely everybody is entitled to their opinion?

No word from the Ipsofacto campo then? Something tells me now that they've got exactly what they wanted out of this sight and it's members... we won't be hearing from them again. Anybody know what the film industry term is for being used?

Next thing they know - filming is about to start and they've got no 'young dancers' or 'people with the right feel'. So what do they do? They come on here pretending they want to hear our ideas and are keen to take on board any suggestions we may have - when really, they don't give a toss what we think and are only interested in using this site and its members. But at least Elvis Davis gets it

Despite you getting your message through eventually, I reckon you are bang on the money with what you've said. They have come on here for one thing and one thing only - and that is to get the people they need to dance in their film - and to get them to do it for nothing. They wouldn't give this site the time of day otherwise.

The thing is Shimmy you DON'T know your arse from your elbow as far as the soul scene is concerned. And as for us fighting amongst ourselves, contradicting each other, and finding little to agree upon.... how the hell would you know? Next you'll be telling us you've been logging on here for years to help you get more 'insight' for your film.

Hmmm.... you lot keep harking on about the soundrack never being finalised until after the editing has been completed, which may be true, what do I know about film making. But no one has asked you WHAT songs you are going to use in the film - only whether you are going to use the ORIGINAL recordings by the ORIGINAL artists. And from your reluctance to answer that simple question, its looking like it's going to be Duffy and Weller after all then. On the bright side - if the film turns out to be a flop - why not turn to a career in politics, you are all very good at talking a lot and yet saying very little.

Ha ha.... I used to do that with bottles of cherryade... oooh... I'm such a wild one

Or freeze them before you went. Personally it wouldn't bother me in the slightest cos very rarely I drink. Even when I do then it's no more than one or two. I would love to say it wouldn't matter, but in all honesty, it probably would. The only way to find out is to do go ahead and do it. Because as you know yourself Jayne, what people say on here and what they do are two completely different things. It will be the second and third nights that will tell what people really think imo.

Jeez... wish I hadn't just had an early lunch Can somebody please help complete his collection please... then we can have the old Jock back again!

I'd like it a bit better if it was about the tunes that made you the guy or girl you are today!

Never been too good at being subtle Phyllis - you should know that I wouldn't say I have been negative either - just persistant with my one question that's all.

Should we be scared now?

I will spell it out for you - and its Joan not Jean. You said: And I said - what has condition got to do with anything?

You think they are brave - I think they're not. You think this man has tried to re-assure everyone that the production will be as real as possible to the era - I think he's done nothing of the sort. But does that matter? I think not. You think this film will entice new blood onto the scene - well, you could well be right. Won't we have fun when they turn up to their first 'proper' soul do expecting to hear Duffy and Paul Weller! You say you don't get it why people are so negative about this film? I don't think people are being negative Phyllis - people are passionate that's all. Some a lot more than others it seems. I couldn't give a toss what the story is about to be honest. The only thing I care about is whether they use the ORIGINAL RECORDINGS by the ORIGINAL ARTISTS. Something I thought everyone would care about. Boy was I wrong on that one.

And not only mission accomplished - mission accomplished FOR FREE!

Hi Phyllis, I'm sorry - but 'brave to come on and answer peoples questions'? What's brave about logging onto an internet forum? You can't seriously think they are going to take notice of anything we have to say? These people couldn't give a spin or a backdrop about what we think! They have come on here for one thing and one thing only - publicity. So as far as this forum is concerned - its MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Jeez you lot must be good - being able to judge people's looks and dancing skills over the phone!

And here's what 1,000+ people looks like. And you don't intend paying any one of them? You lot are taking the piss!

No they are NOT paying them Paul. This is on their advert - and I quote: "Please note, there are no fees for extras or dancers. We will make a contribution to your travel."

Not true my friend. I have loads of records that go for far too much imo. This, however, is not one of them.

Or maybe its because this is at least the second time Cookie has listed it for sale on here?

quality!

I give up! Can't believe I'm arguing with Ted Massey about the likes of Duffy and Amy Winehouse! Knock yourself out guys

You think? I'd say they were all little toes on the same soul less foot

Here's a question - what about the DJ's? Will they have actors playing the original Wigan DJ's I wonder? Hope so - who do you think will play Dickie Searling?
