Sponsored By No One
The Pearl Jam Movie!! That’s right. Made in 1995 by the band when Jack Irons was drummer and filmed over the course of their 1995 Far-East tour in Japan, Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand…it’s half tour documentary and half movie. This movie was apparently scrapped by the band at the final mixing stage for some unknown reason, seems completely unedited/uncut. It full of really wild and weird little skits by the band (like Ed and Jack acting out some strange Godzilla attack on the beach, Mike McCready's stage strip-tease), airplane, backstage & soundcheck footage of all the band members, the band on the streets & taking in the culture of the countries they’re visiting.
Una página de locura
Un marinero se emplea como ordenanza en un manicomio para liberar a su esposa, que se encuentra recluida luego de que intentara suicidarse y matar a su bebé. Esta es una restauración de la copia hecha por el mismo Kinugasa en la década del 70. Kinugasa redescubrió su copia personal, supuestamente en un cobertizo de su jardín y escondida en una maceta. Para prepararla para un nuevo lanzamiento, quitó algunas de las escenas más convencionales, así como eliminó todos los intertítulos, sin duda para hacer la película aún más "avant-garde" de lo que había sido. No hay constancia de que exista una versión original.
