No Nukes, the Satanic Pikachu

I saw that movie. What about you?

The parts that really stuck in my head were the following:
the music video of the film's title song (I noticed some of the images were out of sync with the lyrics)

the marching hammers! (gotta love those marching hammers)

the big black Nazi bird busting out of the itty bitty pigeon (I could never forget this one because I saw it the week right after Angel, my white cockatiel died-she was such a sweetie)

the schoolkids getting turned into ground meat! (actually, those wacky Brits call it minced beef)

"how can you expect to have pudding if you don't eay your meat?!"

the "Trial Of Pink" skit near the end of the movie (I had that damn thing going through my head for days-curse you Roger Waters!)

Never saw it, I'm not really a big pink floyd fan. I really enjoy Syd Barrett's pink floyd though because its so bizarre and trippy- too bad he lost his mind, he had some good songs about sitting on unicorns and riding bikes.

Yep, I remember all those parts of the film and there are some other disturbing ones that stick with me (I saw it when I was really young.) No doubt, this is one bizarre and disturbing (I know they mean the same thing) film

The album is one of my all-time favourites, but I rarely listen to it , it is too deppressing. I don't remember many things from the film, except that it scared the s**t out of me and that the subtitles helped a lot to understand the album (English is not my first language). They don't do things like that anymore, can you imagine an opera rock with Christina Aguilera or Britney Spears?

A great film, one of my favorites for its shear weirdness.  The animation is pretty darn good and I like Pink Floyd's music - so watching the movie is quite enjoyable.

Along the same lines: "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" reminded me of "Pink Floyd: The Wall."  The subject matter is quite different (you'd have to see the movie) and the music is less impressive, but it is still a movie telling a story through songs.  Be warned: it is a very weird movie.  

I like the bit about Thor wanting to smash people with his hammer.
