Mr. Tony Margaritatime Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Old Joe MovieI was browsing myspace films and ran across this independent film starring our buddy Bonnie "Prince" Billy. The soundtrack is by Yo La Tengo. Anybody hear anything about this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oil Can Boyd Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I remember seeing him in John Sayle's movie Matewan in the late 1980s and thinking he was great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
holweger Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 He was actually an actor before he became a musician. He even played the dad in the made-for-tv movie about Jessica McClure, the girl who fell in the well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighFives Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 isn't the movie called "OLD JOY" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Tony Margaritatime Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Wow! Interesting...you learn something everyday. It is Old Joy. That's what I get for typing too fast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Papillon Parade Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 He's been in quite a few films actually. Most recently that I've seen him in was Junebug. He plays a small part, but a part nonetheless. I haven't seen Old Joy yet, but I will. Unfortunately he's taking some heat in the press about this movie. People are comparing it to Brokeback just because it's about two guys in the woods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

People are comparing it to Brokeback just because it's about two guys in the woods. I caught him in that too, although his part was very brief (not that he was n00dz or anything). Yo La Tengo were also responsible for the soundtrack to Junebug. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anodyne Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 matewan is excellent, and will is a very major character. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
earlyinthemorning Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 "Old Joy" has gotten pretty much unanimously positive reviews. It's about 2 old friends who've drifted apart somewhat and attempt to reconnect on a hiking trip in the Oregon woods. It's pretty short (around an hour) and has been described as a cinematic short story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Papillon Parade Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 not really a movie, but his best appearance was in 'Tripping With Caveh'he eats shrooms and gets goofy on camera for free! LOL..Just bought this a few months ago and LOVED it! Nothing better than seeing one of your musical heros get high and stung by bees. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aarvid Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Yeah, I found it quite amusing. It was a little short. I would have liked to have seen a bit more tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
