just can't help feeling that after two four DVD sets in last 5 yrs and now the SAL movie, there is the risk of overexposure of the band in its twilight years.....lets face it, despite a slightly changing selection of songs there's not a lot of fresh ground being uncovered in any of this new stuff
yawn, yawn

There's a reason for the Mick focus. Remember that Scorsese said that the movie would include a study of Mick's movements.

It seems like the only 2 biggest bitches about the film is the cutting of CONNECTION and too much MICK.

I'm still a little upset that I didn't make it onto the movie. I had secretly hoped that Paulywaul was going to come back and say "there's a great shot of Cindy at the stage dancing in front of Mick Jagger'. But I guess, I'll just have to try again the next time Scorcese films a movie about the Rolling Stones.

Pretty much sums it up I'd say, there's not THAT much to bitch about all in all.

okay, i'm really struggling here: i really do try to keep my public bitching to a minimum,
but i don't agree that those two flaws are "not much". even for hollywood, it shouldn't be hard to grasp
that a] the Rolling Stones are a band, and that b] no one wants hacked-up numbers in a concert film.
and if this was supposed to be a big "important" film "for future generations" those two pieces of gormlessness
are not very okay at all. (and yeah i know Tralala reported last year that Scorsese had warned us
that it would be a "study of Mick" - but just because he warned us doesn't mean it's a good idea.)
there are lots of say-hallelujah moments to treasure in this film.
there are two less-than-useless guest performers and a couple of distinctly phony bits.
there's Mr Buddy Guy kickin the Stones to glorious new heights.
there are several numbers where the sound + visuals are genuinely exciting.
and there are the Rolling Stones.
Well it's not like Marty made cuts in any of the other songs - but only in Connection.Quote
but, is the integrity of the performance as a whole or in any of its part the good measure for "a good editing" or a "bad editing"?

Cutting just that one makes it jump out of the whole frame. I don't get it at all.
the movie would have lasted maybe 124 minutes instead of 122, hadn't he touched it.
