There are still tickets left for tonight's SIFF/No Age show at the Triple Door. You should go!
Here's what Eric Grandy has to say:
Tonight, as part of the Seattle International Film Festival, L.A. noise punks No Age will perform an original, never before heard score for Jean-Jacques Annaud's 1988 film The Bear. All I remember about this movie is the scene where the orphaned baby bear eats a psychedelic mushroom and everything starts to look like it's coming through a prism or a kaleidoscope. No Age should really have some fun with that one. But given their facility with distressed, color-bleeding ambiences, tension-building guitar loops, and balls-out rhythmic racket, they should have no problem scoring the whole film in high style.
And here's what Andrew Wright has to say:
Jean-Jacques Annaud’s mock nature documentary stands as one of the most beautiful, baffling kids’ movies in history, with sustained passages of “How did they do that?” leavened by more than a few instances of “Why did they do that?” (The scene where the orphaned cub trips out on mushrooms is as dumbfounding today as it was on first release.) The Bear is uneven, to say the least, but the bits that work work absolutely. Screenings will be accompanied live by a new score from Sub Pop duo No Age, which can’t help but be a good thing.
And here is another picture of bears because hahahahahahaha!!!!!
