Members FitchFY Posted November 14, 2014 Members Posted November 14, 2014 Have any of you guys seen Whiplash yet? I think it's awesome that there's a movie out with such a strong buzz about a drummer... I'm looking forward to seeing it this weekend. I like Miles Teller in his comedic stuff and am looking forward to seeing him do something serious. He's been a drummer since he was 15 and I'm curious as to how much he actually plays in the film, since you can't exactly fake the movements and sounds.
Members 1001gear Posted November 14, 2014 Members Posted November 14, 2014 IIRC Whiplash checked in for the new Box thread. Strapped like the rest of us. What movie is this? Details puhronto.
Members Dendy Jarrett Posted November 14, 2014 Members Posted November 14, 2014 Not heard of it yet. I'll now have to google ...
Members 1001gear Posted November 14, 2014 Members Posted November 14, 2014 Oh, the MOVIE is Whiplash.Duh...
Members 1001gear Posted November 14, 2014 Members Posted November 14, 2014 Watched a trailer. The drama could be intense. The drummer not so much.
Members Drumstix101 Posted November 14, 2014 Members Posted November 14, 2014 It's out in limited release now, but I will be looking for it
Members Dendy Jarrett Posted November 14, 2014 Members Posted November 14, 2014 Oh, I am getting it now ... WhipLash. I thought you meant Whip It (The Dazz Band):[video=youtube;LICpO7ePxgo]
Members Dendy Jarrett Posted November 14, 2014 Members Posted November 14, 2014 Or Maybe Whip It (Devo): [video=youtube;j_QLzthSkfM] OK, enough of showing my age ...
Members Dendy Jarrett Posted November 14, 2014 Members Posted November 14, 2014 Honestly, I just watched the trailer and this is a must see for me. I got choked up watching it because as a player, I have never measured up in reality to what my brain believes I should be able to do. Really intense looking film for a musician/drummer. Thanks for bringing attention to it. D
Members FitchFY Posted November 17, 2014 Author Members Posted November 17, 2014 The usual for me - if it involves drums or mountain bikes, I want everyone to see it!
Members 1001gear Posted November 17, 2014 Members Posted November 17, 2014 I gotta say that band director is brutal. Literally brutal. I'm now inspired to pan everything that comes across my desktop.
Members Drumstix101 Posted November 25, 2014 Members Posted November 25, 2014 Just got back from seeing the movie. Damn.....it was a good movie.It's a must see movie. My wife does not usually enjoy movies about musicians or bands and I was surprised as to how much she talked about the movie on the way home. She enjoyed all aspects of the movie and is recommending it to her friends, so the movie is a hit for non-drummers too.
Members Dendy Jarrett Posted November 26, 2014 Members Posted November 26, 2014 I'm glad to hear it. Many are not liking it because they say it is a "rough" reflection of music education. I have indeed experienced instructors who have "pushed" me beyond what others may have thought was "appropriate", but most of them knew my potential and just wanted to pull that out of me.I can't wait to go see.
