Gorillaz Interview
Arena, March 2001
The first film you ever saw?
2D: The first film I ever saw was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Murdoc’s dad was in the porno version of this called Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Bang, he played the child catcher.
The last film you saw?
2D: I saw this thing by Werner Hertzog on BBC 2 the other night about devotional religion that he’s made with some old composer, they had obviously written each other introductions because they were both described like earth-bound gods. It was full of people dragging themselves about on their knees, crying and shit, with somebody singing the word “Mother” over the top in Greek. I asked my girlfriend to crawl around my bedroom after but she wasn’t into it, and we had a bit of an argument.
The best film you saw?
2D: Easy! Rockers! No, shit! Zombies Dawn of the Dead. No, Rockers. No, Zombies Day of the Dead. No, Night of the Living Dead. Oh, I don’t know. No I know, Showgirls, yeah that’s it, or anything by David Cronenberg. Can I start again?
The worst film you saw?
2D: That fucking goddamn awful Velvet Goldmine. What the fuck was that all about? It's like a bag of dog pooh tied up in the middle with a bit of old rope.
