I've always heard Salo 120 Days of Sodom is one of the greatest first date movies. Blue Velvet might be a good one too, just to break the ice and get to know someone, or show her both as a double feature. Break out the popcorn!
Far be it from me to bicker with Jarvis's memory, but Pulp's "Mile End" was actually used in the montage of Begby visiting Renton's apartment in London later in the film. The toilet scene song in the early part of the film was Brian Eno's "Deep Blue Day". ;-)
Also, in his interview with Mike Leigh from the Meantime release, he says the film Leigh brought to show his class was Grown-Ups, not Nuts in May. These galling untruths are a stain upon the closet.
in fairness he's not suggesting "mile end" was played during that scence...he merely refers to the fact they had a song in the film...and then refers to a scene he enjoys in the film...
And that let to a Pulp fan saying one of the most brilliant sentences ever: "All he did was wiggle his bum, and then get kicked in by some bloke dressed as Buddha".
Well ladies and gentlemen, Another closet video to add to the ASMR playlist. He has a wonderful speaking voice on top of singing voice. Never go wrong with Jarvis
Trainspotting is a masterpiece. Every second is dynamic and gorgeous and dangerous and musical. I still remember the posters outside the bus shelters. Mile End is a superb song.
I remember hearing Pulp's song "Disco 2000" when it was released in 1995. I waited for years to add that song to my 1999 New Years Eve Party playlist. Good times.
It has hard to believe it is nearly thirty years old. I remember it well and the year 2000 seemed quite far away, almost futuristic. Now it a mere quarter of a century since the millennium!
He should have had a new year's eve party with Prince, and invited Michael Jackson just so Prince could play bass quite aggressively in his face, and so Jarvis could teach him about Jesus again etc.
I like how slow-paced his short remarks on these films are. Nice choices too. By the way, I am also a short-sighted filmmaker who makes some sounds and music. :3
Criterion you HAVE to get The French Dispatch in the collection. Jarvis does some fantastic music in that and it's one of Wes Anderson's best films if not his all-time best
Knew he'd have positive things to say about Mike Leigh. There's a YT vid of him interviewing him. One of the best interviews of Leigh I've seen in fact. Cheers!
@ Yes very similar although Mac was probably bigger and broader and looked middle-aged whereas Jarvis has retained a youthful look. They sound almost identical.
@@AntheanCeilliers I probably did. When I knew Mac I don’t think he had seen Jarvis since he had abandoned the family many years before. It was just as Pulp and Britpop in general was becoming popular.
Yes, he was the best frontman from the UK in the 90’s. Yes, some of us await his 3rd solo album like crazy and yes, I still watch regularly the stop motion music video he directed for Aphex Twin back in the early 90’s. Proper piece of collaborative art between two brilliant creators.
@ Well, I liked his piano album with Chilly Gonzales and some of his Jarv Is project specially the House Music single, that was great but I don’t consider them proper solo albums. Certainly not the chanson covers one that came out recently either. I did read about Rough Trade just today after I had made my post. New Pulp is always welcomed.
Im a DVD collector. And proudly old school. The Criterion Collection is always a go-to. Always offers up true class. Support the medium. OWN some art, dont just rent it
I was working in an art cinema in Sheffield ( The Anvil Civic Cinema) when we showed Blue Velvet on its release. I didn’t know anything about David Lynch at that time and I guess I thought that this was a very serious art film. So when two girls started giggling at the animated birds singing at the beginning of the film. I went up to them, shining my torch in their faces and told them off for giggling. On reflection, the amazing thing about these events is that the two girls apologised to me. It was probably the most British thing that ever happened.
i feel like i'm standing there with them sometimes, nodding along. i love cinema. it brings us all together through stories. it's like a magical yarn factory. i want to hang out in that closet with chuck spadina someday.
Great to see a video without background music. I think me and Jarvis were separated at birth, he picked several of my favourite films. And I'm half blind too, when I started school I sat at the back, each year I moved one row closer to the blackboard lol
been watching a lot of Wes Anderson films in my collection recently as I recently bought Bottle Rocket because it was on sale here in the UK (Criterion releases aren't on sale that often), hopefully they gave Jarvis a multi-region player as all US criterion bluray releases are region A coded.
That is just the thing either you are ready to take the plunge and watch Salo. Or you are not. All that has been said and written about it is true to one extent or another. And you simply have to ask yourself am i up for that level or am i not. It is a rewarding watch but man it will give you a number.
@@warlockofwordschannel7901 Wow kudos that is early. I think i was in my mid 30s. It is a milestone in cinema so i woudltn want to put an age restriction on it. But as i mentioned dont necessairly read up on it dear criterion collection fan but do some research just so you have an idea whats in store. ITs an experience.
I jokingly remarked that Salo is rewarding. But honestly, I don't have the intellect to genuinely glean something from that movie. it's ultimately something I regret watching. But out of curiosity, how did you find it's rewarding?
@mmayer1558 if you're interested in De Sade's work, and Pasolini's other films. It's anti-authoritarian/ anti-consumerist messages pop out at you more.
@@mmayer1558 ITs a bit hard to explain im not a native english speaker. But in my purest form i got out of it feeling that man Pasolini did a feature like this in the 70s in a highly catholic country and while it is full of questionable content to say the least he doesnt shy away from nor does he exploit in it either. It is simply portrayed straight. Its up to the viewer to make their mind up about the events. He simply lays the cards on the table for the viewer. But i fully see where you are coming from. And i think many viewers will reach the same opinion aswell. Like why did i do this. Im not e movie professor. But since you asked. :)
Well, real life is weirder than fiction, and some real things you wouldn't believe in you saw them in a film. You would have to sack the writer and director for some real life things that aren't supposed to be fiction.
Jarvis, wow. I mentioned previously, regarding the Mike Leigh/Marianne video, that I'd binged on Mike Leigh films this year; more recently I binged on Pulp/Jarvis archive, here on utube. I wondered if he'd pick a Wes Anderson film. Liked his intro about being short sighted and TV/"reality," plus his comment on Blue Velvet.
Is that the same guy who made music for Wes Anderson like Fantastic Mr. Fox and The French Dispatch? Cool! Love his movie choices including Salo, Trainspotting and of course Fantastic Mr Fox.
Yesss the incredible shrinking man is brilliant! Normally when movies have that kind of faux philosophical rambling at the end it's completely hollow but somehow this weird B movie rings completely true and even literary somehow.
Fantastic Mr. Fox! Oh I love this session with Jarvis. If fashion is your trade Then when you're naked I guess you must be unemployed yeah are my favorite PULP lyrics. Just for added effect.
I quite actually got an answer to a question in my head, as to "why was there a time of Jarvis with no glasses, and a time with him with massive glasses". Amazing, that. Cheers. As for this, there's some rough editing that is jarring to the point where I wonder why, and what they had to edit him saying? Was it an issue of concise message? He definitely pregamed his picks, so I now wonder how long they get to kind of.. peruse, and get lost in thought. Some film heads could spend hours in there, due to just reliving films before they even make a pick.
my Mom read the book The Incredible Shrinking Man and she told me that at the end of the book, he got so tiny he was blown by the wind onto the body of a normal sized person and within that body he was in a land of others like him, then he began to shrink again. ?
Great choices except for Salò -- which may be great. I've not seen it. It's not going to happen but I'd love to see Mark's picks. Candida's and Nick's, too, to be fair... but Mark has very partcular opionions about film.
I took her to Criterion’s Closet. I don’t know why, but I had to start it somewhere…
So it started, there.
@@warlockofwordschannel7901 I said, “pretend you got no money”
@@warlockofwordschannel7901 I said, "Pretend you don't know Lynch or Lumet", And she just said, "Oh, Rushmore's funny!"

Nah, Peeping Tom is the way to go.@@isaachaze1
Sorted for Leighs and Wes.
Bravo 👏🏻
Oh very good!
Brilliant
Yes 🎉
Whoever had the idea of putting him here is a bloody genius!!
Up next, Robyn Hitchcock.
What, on earth?
Agreed.
When he said St Martin's, that lyric kicked in :D

@@obswild we live in testing and divisive times
@@jethrobradley7850It’s almost too much to bear.
finally i’ve been waiting for this one for weeks and he did not disappoint
Jarvis and Michael Jackson’s collaboration on stage is cool
And that let to a Pulp fan saying one of the most brilliant sentences ever: "All he did was wiggle his bum, and then get kicked in by some bloke dressed as Buddha".
Me arse!
Goated moment
Jarvis was also getting down with some random lady at the same venue, right before joining Jackson on stage...
I like how Noel Gallagher claimed Jarvis should have been knighted for that.
MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!!
🌟💮
Good old Jarvis! Love him.
"Why live in the world when you can live in your head?"
Well ladies and gentlemen, Another closet video to add to the ASMR playlist. He has a wonderful speaking voice on top of singing voice. Never go wrong with Jarvis
Trainspotting is a masterpiece. Every second is dynamic and gorgeous and dangerous and musical. I still remember the posters outside the bus shelters. Mile End is a superb song.
Agreed.
It honestly changed my life...for the better.
he studied film at St Martin's college... that's where Salo caught his eye...
"That's where I, caught her eye" - I've always liked that line.
Jarvis is so cool🌸 please bring David Byrne next🙏
Fantastic Mr Fox is an absolute delight !
The album "Different Class" is freakin' amazing 🤘🤩🤘🤩😍🤘
So is His N Hers and This Is Hardcore and We Love Life. Throw in the Jarvis and Further Complications albums in there as well why don’t you.
Hardcore is even better.
I remember hearing Pulp's song "Disco 2000" when it was released in 1995. I waited for years to add that song to my 1999 New Years Eve Party playlist. Good times.

I never knew Jarvis Cocker was a film student, but rock stars have to come from some art school!
Many of his songs lyrics are very cinematic, imho.
he also directed & edited some of pulp's own music videos like babies, lipgloss and razmatazz !
I like how slow-paced his short remarks on these films are. Nice choices too.
By the way, I am also a short-sighted filmmaker who makes some sounds and music. :3
I love trainspotting/blue velvet.
Heineken. Fuck That Shit
Criterion you HAVE to get The French Dispatch in the collection. Jarvis does some fantastic music in that and it's one of Wes Anderson's best films if not his all-time best
Totally agree. Fortunately there’s a very high chance of it going in.
Yes! TIP TOP! Great album. ❤
The last segment - and Jeffrey Wright's acting in it - has got to be one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my life.
Really like The French Dispatch especially the Hergé inspired scenes.. its maybe not his best work but I did like it indeed…!
Knew he'd have positive things to say about Mike Leigh. There's a YT vid of him interviewing him. One of the best interviews of Leigh I've seen in fact. Cheers!
JARVIS! Y'all have outdone yourselves.
Blur or Oasis? Pulp actually
No, Ocean Colour Scene.
@@katoness lose the comma: 'No Ocean Colour Scene'. 🚫 💫
Felt was way more interesting than any of those bands.

Cerys Mathew's 😊
I worked with Jarvis’s dad Mac in Darwin, Australia back in the 90s. Jarvis would be about the age Mac was back then (RIP).
Does Jarvis resemble his father? Mannerisms?
@ Yes very similar although Mac was probably bigger and broader and looked middle-aged whereas Jarvis has retained a youthful look. They sound almost identical.
Sounds like you probably knew his dad more than he did based on how he's talked about him haha
@@AntheanCeilliers I probably did. When I knew Mac I don’t think he had seen Jarvis since he had abandoned the family many years before. It was just as Pulp and Britpop in general was becoming popular.
@User-mj9hv what was the jist of how he talked about him? Did you get any sense of how he felt about it all?
Glad to see him in the Closet. Mother, Brother, Lover completely changed how I view songwriting and writing in general. Cheers, Jarv.
Catch the live 'Common People' from Reading 2011. The man is the coolest nerd in music.
Jarvis! Excellent picks! Different Class lp is fabulous!
Yes, he was the best frontman from the UK in the 90’s. Yes, some of us await his 3rd solo album like crazy and yes, I still watch regularly the stop motion music video he directed for Aphex Twin back in the early 90’s. Proper piece of collaborative art between two brilliant creators.
He did have a third solo album, and a fourth... And Pulp just signed with Rough Trade, so new album coming.
@ Well, I liked his piano album with Chilly Gonzales and some of his Jarv Is project specially the House Music single, that was great but I don’t consider them proper solo albums. Certainly not the chanson covers one that came out recently either. I did read about Rough Trade just today after I had made my post. New Pulp is always welcomed.
A lot of his style aped from mark e smith
@@curiositytax9360Not really but if you are gonna steal from someone might as well be from Smith and The Fall. It’s guaranteed to be good.
Didn't expect him here at all. 😂

Same I was litrally just listening to the 'Fantastic Mr Fox' soundtrack. So juicy. Like an apple juice flood.
Im a DVD collector. And proudly old school. The Criterion Collection is always a go-to.
Always offers up true class.

Another treat Criterion, keep them coming! X
Jarvis Cocker. Director of Apex Twin, LFO & Nightmares on Wax videos. When not singing in Pulp.
Love Jarvis and his picks. Was delighted by his cameo in Anderson's The Wondeful Story of Henry Sugar.

Jarvis cocker is the best lyricists of all time.
No he isn’t. A lot of his style aped from mark e smith
@ ok you just convinced me hahah
Nice to see Jarvis on this.
There's a quote by him on the back of my copy of The Hawkline Monster by Richard Brautigan. Great songwriter.
What a fab change-of-pace visitor to the closet, I love Jarvis's low energy vibe. You should get a Florian Habicht film (or two) in the collection!
Habicht's Pulp doco was so good
Awesome guest!!
Fantastic Mr Fox is a great movie .
A great chap
"Mile End" is a wonderful song... Trainspotting
He came from Sheffield he had a thirst for knowledge, he studied film at Saint Martins College, that's where I...
Another favourite Mike Leigh film of mine is Grown ups
Some of my favorite music.
been watching a lot of Wes Anderson films in my collection recently as I recently bought Bottle Rocket because it was on sale here in the UK (Criterion releases aren't on sale that often), hopefully they gave Jarvis a multi-region player as all US criterion bluray releases are region A coded.

Oh I’ve been waiting for it since I’ve seen the photo of Jarv being in the closet, and I’m absolutely not disappointed with it!

Yes, and he's the lead vocalist and chief songwriter for Pulp, one of the greatest rock bands to ever come out of the U.K.
He also acts and did music for Asteroid City (he's one of the members of the cowboy band).
Jarvis is a UK national treasure... although he would probably hate that description
Hero for our times
Jarvis you are so cool
Love your picks
Blue velvet
Love Javis❤
I love how unpretentious Jarvis’s choices are, like he’s not trying to impress anyone.
yeah it's the only episode that I have seen more than one, this episode 6/7
He’s never been pretentious. It’s part of his appeal.
Yesss the incredible shrinking man is brilliant! Normally when movies have that kind of faux philosophical rambling at the end it's completely hollow but somehow this weird B movie rings completely true and even literary somehow.
This is not who I expected to see here, but very glad he did it
life changing closet video

I am surprised he didn't choose the classic film Jarvis Cocker's Search For Knockers.
Jarvis has impeccable taste in movies.
Meantime is a brilliant choice Jarvis
Fantastic Mr. Fox! Oh I love this session with Jarvis.
If fashion is your trade
Then when you're naked

The only closet guest to leave with a film on each format
it's been a long time since i've seen "salo".... i'm not sure if i want to watch it ever again.
Can't believe they managed to get Petey.
