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!"
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!
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.
Wait, did anyone let him out at the end? Or at the very least take him a cup of tea?
When he said St Martin's, that lyric kicked in :D
... that's where I..caught her eye
she came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
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...
@@obswild we live in testing and divisive times
@@jethrobradley7850It’s almost too much to bear.
@@andyhall7032 Yup,.
Good old Jarvis! Love him.
finally i’ve been waiting for this one for weeks and he did not disappoint
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.
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.
"Why live in the world when you can live in your head?"
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.
ok cormac mccarthy
@@oedipamaas2067 I have three of his novels. I haven't read any of them.
It was kind of our Pulp Ficiton, had such an influence on British movies and movies in general
@@starwarsroo2448 I never thought of Trainspotting as being in-step with Pulp Fiction but I think you're right.
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.
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 Pulp. And Jarvis is just about the most perfect frontman of any band. Saw them play in 2024 and they were brilliant.
Fantastic Mr Fox is an absolute delight !
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.
Whoever had the idea of putting him here is a bloody genius.
Thank you I think this was one of the best criterion closet videos so clear and easy to understand
JARVIS! Y'all have outdone yourselves.
Love Jarvis and his picks. Was delighted by his cameo in Anderson's The Wondeful Story of Henry Sugar.
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 !
Glad to see him in the Closet. Mother, Brother, Lover completely changed how I view songwriting and writing in general. Cheers, Jarv.
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!
MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!!
🌟💮
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.
Some great stuff on it, yes, though personally I think pre-huge success 'His & Hers' is far more exciting and interesting.
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…!
IMHO it’s his worst.
I love how I've seen 3 criterion videos and everybody picked blue velvet. Amazing. Think it was willem, norman reedus and now Jarvis Cocker
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 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?
Jarvis, it doesn't matter how old you are. You will never be ready for it.
Nice to see Jarvis on this.
Another treat Criterion, keep them coming! X
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.
Swervedriver
Cerys Mathew's 😊
Awesome guest!!
Didn't expect him here at all. 😂
Ken Oath
Same I was litrally just listening to the 'Fantastic Mr Fox' soundtrack. So juicy. Like an apple juice flood.
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
Jarvis! Excellent picks! Different Class lp is fabulous!
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
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
I love Jarvis.
Made it through 5 minutes of Salo myself before I had to turn it off.
Awesome guest
Fantastic my Hero❤️
Blue Velvet has gotta be an all-time Criterion pick at this point
Jarvis is so cool🌸 please bring David Byrne next🙏
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.
"Mile End" is a wonderful song... Trainspotting
Jarvis Cocker. Director of Apex Twin, LFO & Nightmares on Wax videos. When not singing in Pulp.
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.
There's a quote by him on the back of my copy of The Hawkline Monster by Richard Brautigan. Great songwriter.
Heaven is a place on earth... and its with Jarvis Cocker in the Criterion closet.
Jarvis you are so cool
Love your picks
Blue velvet
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!
Jarvis has impeccable taste in movies.
Some of my favorite music.
I love trainspotting/blue velvet.
Heineken. Fuck That Shit
Saw them live the same day this video was recorder I already miss seeing them on stage long live pulp
This is not who I expected to see here, but very glad he did it
Love Jarvis!
Very nice product 👌
Catch the live 'Common People' from Reading 2011. The man is the coolest nerd in music.
LOOK AT THIS CLEAN SHIRT
fantastic old films.... 💘💘💘💘
Brett Anderson closet pics when?
A great chap
I love this guy, and a northerner like most great people
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.
He came from Sheffield he had a thirst for knowledge, he studied film at Saint Martins College, that's where I...
3:45 taken from Gravity's Rainbow
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
him talking about tv being more real than the real world made me think of videodrome
I saw the tv glow
@@10countrysongs aka videodrome (a24 version)
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.
Library was such a good 👍
Amazing 👍👍
Blue velvet ,great choice,and Mean time.
life changing closet video
Nice review
Jarvis is a UK national treasure... although he would probably hate that description
Wonderful!
Where is this library
This looks so cool😍
Love this guy
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 love Jarvis.
Great video
Appreciate it👍
So cool!
Good review
Great choices
I want to see him live ❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic Mr Fox is a great movie .
Wise gentleman with interesting views. I would like talk about films with him.
Beautiful
Another favourite Mike Leigh film of mine is Grown ups
I'm not quite familiar with him, but he does have charm and personality. And solid taste in movies.
Good job
Nice project
nice review
Magic voice 😊
the goat of music 🐐
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.
I love Jarvis
Love Javis❤
