The Man Who Fell to Earth

think he did.

I think whoever did the poster for the Man Who Fell to Earth.

Is

that the first instance of the Iron Maiden font?

I think it's been used in lots of things.

I know Steve Harris very much takes credit for that, but he can't.

No, because the Man Who Fell to Earth

poster has the Iron Maiden font on it.

Watching The Linguini Incident two weeks back, I was reminded how much I like that guy.

The Man Who Fell to Earth, The Hunger, Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, Labyrinth, The Last Temptation of Christ.

That's a career.

Number four, Sting.

So, good Bowies, number one.

Have you seen The Man Who Fell to Earth?

I don't think I have, actually.

You

His love for his son was real, but that love was competing fiercely with cocaine, work and the frightened version of himself that he had become.

In 1975 Bowie took the leading role in The Man Who Fell to Earth, playing an alien who arrives on Earth seeking help for his dying planet, only to be gradually consumed by human greed, alcohol and isolation.

With his skeletal frame, ghostly appearance and air of emotional detachment, Bowie seemed almost genuinely alien on screen.

What audiences did not yet understand was how little transformation the performance had required.

At this time, however, he would create while concealing the struggle which inspired it.

Bowie's final creative period centred on two connected projects, the stage musical Lazarus and the album Blackstar.

Lazarus continued the story of Thomas Jerome Newton, the alien Bowie had played in The Man Who Fell to Earth 40 years earlier.

Still trapped on Earth, Newton is unable to return home, but unable to die.

Next, another 4K release coming November 16th.

This is a big, fancy release from Studio Canal as part of their Vintage Classics line of The Man Who Fell to Earth 50th Anniversary Edition, the classic David Bowie film from 76.

This is Nicholas Rogue's iconic science fiction odyssey, and it's going to have a 4K disc, two Blu-ray discs, two disc soundtracks.

You've got five discs total.

100-page booklet with a new interview with Candy Clark, four art cards, four photo cards, four posters, including two original artwork, one new artwork from Alexander Wyjuski, and then an exclusive poster of George Underwood's artwork for Walter Tevey's original book release.

And then extras, brand-new 40-minute documentary, The Man Who Fell to Earth at 50, Bowie and Rogue, Aliens in America, and then all kinds of archival extras that were a piece of the previous releases.

Fun movie.

Have you seen this one? I haven't, but I would like to see it.

Yeah.

I mean, well, I mean, I was trying to remember whether I'd seen The Man Who Fell to Earth again, and I mean, that was around a similar period when we watched that.

Yeah.

And it'd been a f- been a very, very long time.

All right.
