Gypsy83...What???

nwestohiofan · #1 07-16-2005, 12:39 PM

This is my first post ever...I have been a visitor to The Ledge for awhile but never replied or posted...byt HAD to get some opinions on this.

I know it has been out for a long time, but I just got my copy of Gypsy83 on ebay. Here's what I knew...a girl who loves Stevie, takes a trip across the country with her friend to go to Night of 1000 Stevie's. Ok? Sounded fun.

What did I really get? A ridiculous movie that I felt mocked Stevie as well as her hard core fans. I was SO disapointed. I would NOT recommend this to anyone.

So...was it just me? Was it too DEEP for me to "GET IT?" This has been bugging me...am very interested to hear how others felt about this film.

Worst movie ever!!! The sex scenes were just disgusting, the girl was just plain awful and gave a bad impression of what Stevie fans are. She was just gross... And to top it all off Sara Rue made fun of Stevie on a talk show or something.

Not all Stevie fans are fat goths who can't funtion in the real world. I thought this movie gave Stevie's fanbase a bad name to be quite honest. I'm really glad Stevie did not give the music rights to this trashy flick.

She called Stevie a "has-been".

If Stevie is a "has-been" then Sara Rue is a "never-was"

Glad to hear it wasn't only me. The movie was awful and I agree the sex scenes and nudity were terrible. Stevie fans are generally very cool people...I was lost.

I would LOVE to see a movie/documenatry on Stevie...like 'behind the scenes on tour, etc. Kind of a "Madonna Truth or Dare" type film. Think it would be very interesting.

I had heard about the Sara Rue comments on the talk show...Conan OBrian I think. She really was offensive torward Stevie. TERRIBLE MOVIE!

See I was really mad that people that watch this movie now think that all Stevie fans are these ackward losers.

i can't understand why the guy who made the movie (who apparently is such a big Stevie fan), would produce a movie like that... perhaps he's not a fan like we are, but an NYC Night Of A 1000 Stevies-dress up in drag-kinda fan

nwestohiofan · #9 07-16-2005, 01:06 PM

I had also heard that the director was a big fan. I wonder if Stevie ever saw this movie...I sure hope not.

i went to the movie premiere in NYC, loved the experience but didn't love the movie at all. todd the director was pretty cool, great Q&A after the screening. FYI i asked if he'd been to NOTS and indeed he had, performed in 2003? and did Sorcerer in full drag. rue never did it for me in the first place, but i definitely think someone else could have made the movie better than what it was. the gypsy/amish sex was way creepy and gross, the rest was alright though IMO. john doe and karen black were great in it, and the scene where she's on the treadmill is pretty priceless.

overall though, i would hate to think that that movie is associated with real stevie-fans. ps - kett is really really really cute in person

i've only recommended it to two people, and that was only because i felt like they should see it to believe it. and for the sake of seeing a movie where stevie nicks is mentioned...

This movie was totally discusting... If you've never seen it, please don't do it. I had to watch it when my parents wern't home so they wern't like "What the hell are you watching?" Very dissapointed.

She was on Craig Kilborn (sp?) and she made a reference to her character as being someone obsessed with a "coked-out old hasbeen".

Sara Rue's boobs should not be viewed on a big screen TV. I'm just warning everyone!!!

I haven't seen the movie so I don't know how it is, but I don't think it's meant to be a descriptive of Stevie's entire fan base, as much as a story of one particular fan. Anyone who goes to Stevie concerts knows that there ARE fans out there who are accentric, or over the top, or whatever you want to call it "fat goths who can't function in the real world" is a little harsh. I mean, the thing that is so great about Stevie fans is that there are so many different kinds, and yet they all seem to be cool and accepting of eachother for the most part. I saw Stevie once and there was a guy in full drag behind me who was singing Bombay Sapphires louder than Stevie (and not well, either). It seems like people who dislike the movie may have had the idea that it would be more about Stevie. I mean, just because a character in a movie is a Stevie fan, does that mean the character is supposed to be likeable because we are also fans? Maybe we weren't supposed to like her?

paleshadow: it wasn't intended to portray ALL stevie-fans in the same light, but i really think you need to see the movie. and as for if we're supposed to like her character or not, it's more like the movie sucks than i don't like the character.

and diamondsnake: it's not about how cute/uncute her boobs are, it's the scene in which they are 'unleashed' that is disturbing.
