Yes i went and only about 10 people there to see it.
Its ok i guess, wish the fan comments had been cut.

The camera mainly focused on Morrissey and other members.
I didn't see much background projection during Meat Is Murder.

Me too, but I didn't enjoy the trailer. I thought it was silly. I'm wasn't looking forward to the comments by the 'fans' either, but there's been enough already to draw a tentative conclusion.
This film exists.
It appears to be an entirely accurate portrayal of Morrissey in 2013 at the end of a long period of touring old material and a few insipid demos.
It will be interesting to see if this tour is reconvened with make-up shows for those cancelled or whether affected folk in North/ South America will just have to make do with a cinema screening.
I wouldn't go to see Morrissey again whilst he is still locked in this creative cul-de-sac. It would not be good value-for-money.
However, I would go to see him on a lecture tour to publicise his autobiography. If he really is the inheritor to Wilde (he's not) then this should surely be part of his next phase. It would be less strenuous than a full band tour and would probably be hugely profitable. He could get some Russell Brand / Jonathan Ross type clone to compere and M.C and deal with hecklers.
I guess the problem is in paying retainers to his band without a corporate record deal. They will, naturally, move on to other projects and might not be available if/when another corporate record contract that meets Morrissey's expectations is offered.
Morrissey often hint at retirement but I think he will be back. The question is whether his return is inspired by a new artistic vibrancy or cash-flow for a life of luxury. Or because he's actually just another Fame Whore like a moth to the flame. Whatever happens, I don't love him and he doesn't love me: that nonsense is 'inappropriate'. However, I have enjoyed purchasing his consumer products like CDs and concert tickets.
If he does retire, then he has every reason to be proud about much of his work, even if he could also usefully feel shame and embarassment about some of his wilder outbursts. But we've all done that stuff, some of us here, in this 'sanctuary' to his blessed name!
I've enjoyed contributing to this blog and really enjoyed the fact that others have not enjoyed my contribution! But it seems to me that there is nothing more to contribute to the discussion until a new chapter in Morrissey's soap-opera Dramas unfolds. Contrary to what many here have tried to insist, I am a great admirer of much of this man's work and have had enormous pleasure as a member of The Audience. The fact that he has revealed himself as a preposterous cult leader to his bizarre, dysfunctional hard-core fanatics is both slightly distrubing and disappointing. But it's also very amusing to debunk the whole nonsense. And I'm pleased he avoided suicide when he was vulnerable.
I'll return to lurking and LOL!-ing at The Cult Of Morrissey until a new iteration emerges (not another more-of-the-same tour). Oh, and don't bother with the snipes as I'll snap back at ya, bitchez! I have a feeling that now the new school year is beginning: "The Mentalist 3" will return to make fools of themselves all over again. Which will be fun to watch. It's been very pleasing not to have to put up with them whilst I concluded my deliberations. So, goodbye for now! And remember:
".. I'm, Not sorry for, For the things I've said
There's a wild man in my head, There's a wild man In my head.."
Thanks to all for 'playing the game'. I've enjoyed my wild-ma n 'meditations on Fame' with Moz as the subject to trigger my thoughts. But I'm bored now, too bored to go watch this film, too bored to go watch a show. Too bored to even comment anymore. It's time for me to go 'back to life, back to reality' and make some serious dosh. But he was right about his legacy:
"Let the heart rest
Lay back your head
You were good in your time
And we thank you......
Time takes all breath away
You were good in your time
And we thank you so, so..."
So, Morrissey. Goodbye. Or Farewell......
with every good wish and every possible blessing
yours, In Jubilo!

u been reading too much books brummieboy,haha,sadboy more like,seeking attention but clearly not getting any,as you have to come on here and slate moz all the time,i just dont get you,no one gets you,does your mother ,father get you,are you lost little boy,let me help you,there is a short cliff near by.
morrissey is the greatest,no one can ever take that away from the true moz fans on here,not even sad little brummie girl,sorry boy.
You poor sod. You obviously need to get out more.
reading too much books: "there's more to life than books you know" What, your cult and it's silly 'fans'? LOL!
little boy,let me help you,there is a short cliff near by.: "young bones groan and the rocks below" I'd jump off a cliff rather than join The Cult of Morrissey, that's for sure!
not even sad little brummie girl,sorry boy. Oh, didn't I tell you I was transgender? How remiss of me. "I am not a man, I am not a woman"
"concerns were laid to rest before the band came on. Billed as "absurdist aerobics", the warm-up act – in the most literal sense – was a bare-chested fitness instructor-cum-interrogator of gender norms who attempted to get the crowd going with chants of "I am not a man" and "I am not a woman" over a pumping workout beat."
