		There's just no explaining the sense of wonder that creeps into nearly every minute of "Stop Making Sense." Whether you've seen three rock shows over the course of a lifetime or 3,000, you can almost fool yourself into thinking that this might be your first.
		From that point on, "Stop Making Sense" is so straightforward, so Spartan in its conception, that you'd hardly expect it to swing, and yet it does.
		In "Stop Making Sense," he acclimates us, slowly, to the deep strangeness of David Byrne, without turning him cuddly (the unblinking intensity of his "Psycho Killer" still makes me a little queasy) or making him seem easily explainable.

	Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: Stop Making Sense (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		This being the 15th anniversary of the release of the Talking Heads concert film, Stop Making Sense is reason enough to re-release the old chestnut, with an upgraded sound mix and video remastering to CD, DVD and other such modern initaled tech like that.
		When you're young, it only takes a song or two to make you go back to an album looking for more gems, and tracks like "Psycho Killer" and "I, Zimbra" (or "Don't Worry About The Government" and "Life During Wartime") were better than good starting points.
		Stop Making Sense captures the Talking Heads at the peak of their powers.

		From the outset Stop Making Sense confines itself to the stage, populated by the band members and a few props.
		By the end of Stop Making Sense the field is full, all swaying to a synchronised melody.
		Which is not to say that Stop Making Sense doesn't enlighten you as to how Talking Heads interpret their material and elect to present it, just that the set-list is great in its own right.

		One by one, members of the band make their way onstage to build the pop-rock fever, but once this is achieved there's no reason to carry it on for another solid hour.
		Granted, Sense will certainly appeal to those who are fans of re-releases for their nostalgic value.
		Far and few between, however, are the residences with VHS access to Stop Making Sense -- and those that do are likely to have stopped making sense with their discretion long ago.

	stop making sense
		The smoothness of the unit onstage takes on an added poignance now, after the rancor and break-up, so that the film now seems not so much a snapshot of the Heads during their Speaking in Tongues tour as a record of what turned out to be their peak.
		The film is a summing-up of sorts (a successful blend of old and new), as if some part of Byrne knew it was the beginning of the end.
		Byrne's stage concepts are still cool after all these years; it's always fun to watch the band literally take shape onstage, while roadies push parts of the set into place (Byrne and Demme graciously give the stage crew a shout-out during "Take Me to the River").

	New Statesman - Stop making sense
		No, I think Nabokov is closer to the core of the absurd when he stops with the merely irrational.
		And yet the absurd isn't simply irrational - it's a particular kind of irrationality, or rather, I would argue, the representation of a particular kind of irrationality: the incomplete absorption and ineffective deployment of orthodox systems of ordering; a "crazy logic" that is itself internally discontinuous.
		It makes no apology for itself, it simply is. All children are Gregor Samsa, awakening to discover they have metamorphosed into giant cockroaches during the night, and then simply having to get on with it.

	Taling Heads: Stop Making Sense
		Stop Making Sense will never be my favorite concert film just because I'll never like the Talking Heads anywhere near as much as some other artists; it doesn't matter how well-constructed a concert movie may be if you don't like the band.
		Stop Making Sense appears in its original theatrical aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		If that isn't a strong recommendation, I don't know what is. Stop Making Sense provides a very entertaining and well-structured look at a Talking Heads concert, and the film has rightfully earned its status as a classic of the genre.

		All those economists doing incidence studies of the burden of the corporate tax (a subject I've been studying and writing about for my latest academic project) are going to have to turn around and write new papers about the incidence of the benefit from the corporate tax.
		For the first two-thirds I liked it, though sometimes I had to make myself pick it up, what with the themes being what they are.
		But it turned too episodic and scattershot, didn't build quite as I would have expected, and at the end took a sharp turn into a sarcastic historical fantasy ending that is the sort of thing I ought to like, but that I didn't feel built on or went with what had come before.

		Part performance art, part low-key workout, "Stop Making Sense" benefits from a set of 16 quality songs, an ever-changing visual style that never loses its inventiveness, and a lead performance by David Byrne that has to be seen to be believed.
		From the beginning to end, he has his shirt collar buttoned to the top like a Catholic schoolboy, and I'm not sure how or why.
		But it's a nice piece to watch, very sublime, and the new DVD treatment is a decided gem worth having.

	Stop Making Sense
		Between 1974 and 1981, Jonathan Demme was making weirdly layered art movies whose surreal characters tagged him as an "oddball." He too was getting funky, thinking about Haiti and infusing his films with new rhythmic sensibilities, new colors, new images.
		That the two elements would meet in 1984’s Stop Making Sense is no surprise.
		Having witnessed the shows captured in the film — as well as earlier Heads shows and all of Demme’s films — it wasn’t hard to see these artists splitting at the seams.

		This version of Stop Making Sense is "Widescreen" (I guess that's the DVD term for "letterboxed") and has been digitally re-mixed and re-mastered.
		This brings me to the real value of Stop Making Sense, which is as a document of art rock as a minimalist experience and source of "things have really gone downhill haven't they" chatter.
		The image of David Byrne jerking around a lone boombox like a big-suited trout freshly pulled from the water is way more visceral than any amount of sex, drugs or Satanism you can lather on that rock and roll.

		Prominent in the expanse between music and film is Stop Making Sense, helmed by both director Jonathan Demme and the Talking Heads.
		Foremost a concert, Stop Making Sense was shot during four subsequent shows during the band’s 1983 tour, though the resulting footage was edited to resemble a single appearance.
		Though the Talking Heads are no strangers to this convention, Stop Making Sense is a rare gesture; it excises potentially distracting philosophy and celebrates, instead, the essence of music.

		No other band is as accomplished at ridiculousness as the Talking Heads, and there is no better recording of their feverish carnival sounds than Stop Making Sense.
		The soundtrack to what many consider the greatest concert film ever (of a performance at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood in 1983), Stop Making Sense is so wall-to-wall with supersonic, polyrhythmic delights that listening to it in one stretch is like eating half a dozen pints of Ben and Jerry’s in one sitting.
		So whether you need to replace the original or jump in cold, Stop Making Sense is a mesmerizing 16-ring Circus of Wonders for serious music lovers only.

		The Talking Heads concert film STOP MAKING SENSE, recorded at a 1983 Hollywood performance, brought audiences everywhere face to face with the very visual aesthetic of conceptual artiste David Byrne and his cohorts.
		Serendipitously, STOP MAKING SENSE captured the band at an artistic peak, as it consists mostly of material from the glorious funk-inspired albums REMAIN IN LIGHT and SPEAKING IN TONGUES.
		The group began making twitchy pop in the punk era, but by the early-1980s the Heads had graduated to a dense, funky style incorporating a phalanx of additional musicians including Adrian Belew and P-Funk keyboardist Bernie Worrell.

		"Stop Making Sense" cemented the Talking Heads' place as the Beatles of college rock, capturing the band in all its art-funk glory.
		The film was shot over a period of days, and then edited together, but judging from the perfect quality of the performed pieces, I sense some post-game "sweetening" went on.
		You'll wish you were back in the 1980s when the Heads were the newest thing, though they never really got old.
