no this movie is about hm some kid who gets killed and "he has to solve the mystery of his own death so he can live again"

(same type of unimaginative crap)

woody allen sounded plausible, ha ha ha--- doesnt he bring back a ghost in "scoop"?

Bringing celebrities back to life, even ones who were not killed by thier own devices like Lennon or Marvin Gaye is kind of ridiculous. Sure they may make more music, or simply get to know thier kids, but I have no personal connection with them.

Heath Ledger and Elliott Smith. Two people cut down in their prime. I would include Kurt Cobain but I'm relatively sure he wanted to die (screw conspiracies).

fugazifan 04.04.2008 02:59 AM

d. boon

MellySingsDoom 04.04.2008 03:20 AM

I would bring back Albert Ayler, John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix, Sonny Sharrock, Akira Kurosawa, Michaelangelo Antonioni - and on the Brit side, Leonard Rossiter, Ronnie Barker, and um, John/Jhonn Balance.

Oh yeah, D Boon. And Cliff Burton, so that Metallica can rock once more.

I think Cliff would just throw up if he came back to life and saw what Metallica became after he died. I don't think he'd work with them. Which is not to say if he'd lived he might not have degraded along with them, but he Cliff that died in the '80s wouldn't even recognize Hetfield and Ulrich today.

That said, yeah, Cliff and D. Boon and also John Lennon all seem like good choices since they died with cred in tact and from things that amounted to robbery of their lives.

You have to wonder though, if Lennon had lived would he have agreed to a dismal Beatles reunion at some point, doing a tour that featured weak "Real Love" type new songs plus "Imagine" and "Band on the Run" perhaps with some lame alternarock sidemen from Radiohead or Oasis helping carry them through the old songs?

Syd Barrett of the sixties and early seventies, but not Roger Barrett, who recently died.

jon boy 04.04.2008 06:02 AM

probably someone whose life was cut short tragically instead of someone who died of old age.

Cantankerous 04.04.2008 06:04 AM

no one
if youre dead, stay dead

ALIEN ANAL 04.04.2008 06:05 AM

the first human being

oh and hitler
me and hitler would go kill some crap people that we dont enjoy because we like to be shocking and immature
then we would recreate the holocaust but using kittens instead of humans
and then the twin towers all over again ARE YOU SHOCKED YET!!??

jon boy 04.04.2008 06:05 AM

maybe nostradamus.

Cantankerous 04.04.2008 06:17 AM

nostradamus was an interesting cat
however i don't think he would be of any use

maybe kurt cobain, so he can come back and tell us that he hated us all and thus decided to kill himself, so all the conspiracy theorists will shut the fuck up because i'm sick of hearing 13 or whatever it is years of their shit.

I will sound pretentious, but
Ian Curtis

It would be nice to see what kind of music would he be making as of now.

Probably crap like New Order are playing now. Better for him to stay in the coffin.

Korla Pandit
Joe Meek

Towards the end of Joy Division's career, they were using keyboards and synthesizers, and I read that if he had stayed alive, JD would have followed a similar path to that of New Order.
