Sid and Nancy The Sex Pistols' Sid Vicious and groupie Nancy Spungen.  As a factual portrayal of the life of Vicious and the Pistols the movie doesn't quite measure up. Nancy falls for Sid because he is the first guy who wants her around for something other than sex and drugs. In fact, the Pistols in Sid and Nancy seem very fashion conscious which they were not, (Sid in some rare concert footage is onstage wearing a dress and shower cap.) To the contrary, Rotten was known for his contempt of other bands', such as The Clash and The Jam, fashion statements. www.geocities.com /Hollywood/Set/7601/sidnancy.htm   (1044 words)

Sid and Nancy Nancy Spungen was born in 1958 in Philadelphia to Frank and Deborah Spungen.

‘Sid and Nancy’ (R) Based on the romance between Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen that eventually led to their deaths (both presumably by Vicious' hand), "Sid and Nancy" is a docudrama of sorts that succeeds less as drama than as documentary. Nancy uses sex the way department stores use loss leaders, and soon enough, she's a permanent part of Sid's life, bringing heroin along with her. As Nancy shrieks and Sid blunders through some solo gigs and Nancy shrieks some more, the movie becomes a look at the slow (and rather dull) suicide of two addicts, and the comedy dries up. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-srv/style/longterm/movies/videos/sidandnancyrattanasio_a0ad6d.htm   (754 words)

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on And I Don't Want to Live This Life at Epinions.com For those of you who are unfamiliar with this story, Nancy Spungen was the girlfriend of Sid Vicious, bassist for the seminal punk band the Sex Pistols. Nancy was made out to be a spoiled, self-centered groupie, rebelling against her middle class upbringing with drugs and wild behavior. Even after hearing that eleven-year-old Nancy stood on the garage roof screaming “I wanna die!” then climbed back in through the window and chased her babysitter around the house with scissors, threatening to kill her, her doctor refused to acknowledge that she was troubled. www.epinions.com /content_32018566788   (1813 words)

Movies.com: Marketplace The stress and loneliness that Spungen must have suffered as the primary caregiver of a difficult child is no doubt harrowing; however to put all responsibility for such a disloyal act against her husband on Nancy's shoulders only exacerbates the mistreatment she suffered as a result of behavior that she was unable to control. I also felt, at times, that Spungen and her husband disregarded the mental health and general well-being of their other two children by allowing Nancy to control the household at an age where said children were too young to understand what was truly going on. While Nancy was like a hurricane, destroying all in her wake, Deborah was always there to pick up the pieces and after Nancy's tragic death Deborah was still picking up the shattered pieces of her family's life. movies.go.com /marketplace/details?asin=0449911411&allreviews=true   (2129 words)

The Austin Chronicle Screens: Video Reviews With their disdain for all things conventional, including life itself, Vicious and Spungen are a pathetic pair and one very potent reminder of a turbulent era that neither of them survived. In fact she's pretty scary with her ratty bleached hair and apocalyptic make-up, but it's the depth of Spungen's debilitating misery that Webb captures in an ugliness bordering on bravery. The shrewish, whiny, manipulative, and very tragic Miss Spungen has found a soulmate in Sid Vicious (Oldman), the ultimate punk rocker from the Sex Pistols. www.austinchronicle.com /issues/dispatch/2000-12-08/screens_video.html   (405 words)

25 Up: Punk's Silver Jubilee: So Tough: The Boy Behind the Sid Vicious Myth PopMatters Music Feature Vicious was once arrested after beating Nancy in a London hotel room (which prompted McLaren to briefly throw him out of the band), and during her final phone conversation with Deborah Spungen, Nancy admitted that a number of beatings she'd claimed to have received from street thugs had actually occurred at the hands of Sid. Nancy's mother, Deborah Spungen, recalled Sid being very polite and shy during their phone conversations, and when the pair visited the Spungens at their Philadelphia home, Sid was subdued and childlike, even letting Nancy cut his meat for him. Shortly after being released from Riker's Island, however, Sid phoned Deborah Spungen and told her, "I don't know why I'm alive anymore, now that Nancy is gone" (Spungen, 381). www.popmatters.com /music/features/011108-25up5.html   (4342 words)

Movie Database - tvguide.com SID AND NANCY does not canonize Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen, the Sex Pistols or the punk movement itself, nor does it glamorize the couple's horrible self-destruction. SID AND NANCY will certainly be tough going for viewers unfamiliar with the punk movement and unprepared for the extraordinary amount of cynicism, ignorance, anger, and self-abuse that went hand-in-hand with it, but the film's value lies in its honest, unflinching gaze at a social phenomenon. Nancy is a loud, whining, American rock 'n' roll groupie who's wound up in London at the height of the punk rock movement. online.tvguide.com /movies/database/ShowMovie.asp?MI=20299   (399 words)

Salon.com People Let us now praise famous wankers At least it is finally a chance for the surviving Pistols to piss all over slimy manager Malcolm McLaren for all the rotten, devious managerial shit he pulled on them in their heyday, and to show a whole new generation of people how truly revolting Nancy Spungen was. The famous footage of Spungen and Vicious hopelessly high on dope during that interview where he keeps dropping cigarettes on her looked kind of funny and pathetic to me 10 years ago, but now that I am a better judge of character it looks like a real screaming indictment. Spungen, the demon succubus, the tumor that killed Vicious and one of the best bands of the 20th century, as opposed to the other way around. archive.salon.com /people/col/cintra/2000/04/13/wankers   (1080 words)

0231 The only real failure I saw was that Chloe didn't affect a British accent every thirtieth word (Nancy Spungen lived a long time in London, and her heavy Bronx accent would give way to an altered British pronunciation every once in a while). In this movie, he has given much more information about Sid Vicious, the Sex Pistols, Nancy Spungen and the whole musical/social revolution in the UK than anyone else has dared to try before. Instead, we are given an impressionistic view--both characters represent the *effects* that the people had on Sid and Nancy, not the actual people they are based on. www.cc.gatech.edu /classes/AY2005/cs6300_fall/projects/project5/movies/02/0231   (708 words)
