    I could sort of understand your angst if your whole argument had started after the recent reports of what had happened on set but I seem to recall you were never particularly supportive of the film from the off.

    I probably haven't followed the thread closely enough, but from a personal point of view, the constant negativity on the northern scene in general has worn me down. So many saviours and martyrs to the cause, materialising, who don't seem to grasp what the northern scene is about......... enjoyment. These 'chosen few' set guidelines on just how we should be experiencing 'this thing of ours', without recognising we most of us know what we want from it. It's the constant, having to justify oneself, whether it be about clothes, venues, oldies, whatever, so as to not have 10 posters implying that you're a philistine that I find most wearing.

    My only gripe about the film was that they used the original recordings - especially for the dance scenes.

    I voiced no opinion about anything else.

    I was sceptical from the off when they came on here touting for extras - and rightly so it would seem.

    They have treated members on here badly.

    Some feel that's ok. I don't. And I get slagged rotten for it.

    But that's ok.

    this scene has been ripped off by many people and a large amount of folk on here care not one jot.There are venues up and down the country were sharp and dodgey practice has been and is still going on,mainly perpetuated by people who don't give a f**k.A lot of members on here only SEE what they want to see.If they have been treated badly (i'm sorry),but you could just see it coming. atb tezza

    Some of us could see it coming Terry. :ohmy:

    And yes there has always been dodgy goings on. Doesn't make it right though.

    But hey ho... just another day at the soul office :)

    Yeah...those thumbscrews and the rack were a bit extreme...and where did they get that iron maiden from? Perhaps they hired it from the British Museum from the expenses they were supposed to pay you :):ohmy::yes:

    The new you didn't last long did it Beeks.

    Back to throwing veiled insults with a few smilies on the end to look as though it was said in jest.

    If you were to read all posts before commenting you would have read that I said of course members turned up of their own free will.

    Doesn't make it ok to take the piss out of them though does it?

    Or are you one of those who think that is perfectly acceptable just because it's in the name of cinema?

    It's all a bit disappointing that some people want this film to fail for whatever reasons...........

    I'll definitely go and see it, so I can make my own mind up, about how good it is or isn't, as a film!

    Winnie :-)

    This is what I can't seem to grasp.

    People are willing to ignore the fact that members on here have been treated so badly just because it's a 'film'.

    Unbelievable.

    The above is my copy not Kev's - but you get the drift!

    Same backing as Bobby Jones - Talkin About Jones - Expo.

    Bobby has the edge - but this is still good. And at that price a bargain! :)

    Someone get the Chris Campbell, fantastic record and a good price me thinks.

    Regards - Mark Bicknell.

    Cheap as chips I'd say Mark!

    Can't believe it's not been snapped up yet.

    That must be some hedge :)

    I'm not being precious about it. Look at my previous comments on this!. If folks had known beforehand that they wouldn't be treated the same as paid extra's and decided to do it then fair enough but they weren't.

    In hindsight, I wonder how many people would do it again?

    So what if they're happy with their 15 minutes of fame? I think you'll find this kind of thing happens all the time, not just on this film. Its called 'keeping the budget under control'... FFS even BBC and ITV are guilty of it too. Are they rip off merchants or does it only apply to people producing this film?

    Stop being so precious about it.

    Just because some of you are ok with being taken the piss out of and exploited... doesn't mean we all have to think that way.

    Members on here aren't stupid... of course they turned up for the filming of their own free will.

    But from the experiences I have read about and those I have heard from those who actually went and did it... I think you will be hard pushed to find anyone with anything positive to say about the whole experience.

    Apart from those on here who have been paid of course.

    And as for your 'keeping the budget under control' statement... why offer to pay people's expenses in the first place then?

    Could it be because they knew they wouldn't have got the amount of people they needed to turn up otherwise?

    They came on here and took advantage of people's love for soul music and the soul scene. And it stinks imo.

    But I for one can't wait to see the film.

    This has got to be the best looking record ever.

    You can tell just by looking at it that it's going to kick some serious soul arse!

    Obviously a full box of records has fallen off a high shelf and landed on John Boys head :thumbsup:
