Lost Video Island

Okay, so I watched the documentary on IFC yesterday that was made in 2001 called "Dogtown and the Z-Boys" and I was totally enthralled for the whole two hours or whatever it was.

I previously didn't really wanna see The Lords of Dogtown, but after watching the documentary I couldn't help myself.

So, I thought it was pretty good. Did anyone else see it? I guess it's different watching it after seeing the documentary because it's really just like the period at the end of a sentence for me. I thought the film captured the look of Dogtown that I'd seen in the documentary original footage and sort of captured the feel of what was happening, though I can't vouch for any accuracy in the details.

I think, if you see the movie not knowing anything about Dogtown and the Z-boys, it should really be an "introduction" to them. These guys really were "pioneers" and I hate to use that word because it makes it sound like this was something that was planned and it makes me sound like a TV ad. It was just something that came out due to the right time, the right place, the right environment and circumstances. So yeah, I'm gonna be a professional skateboarder in my next life.


Anyone see it?

Alright, so maybe I'm the only one. I would recommend seeing the documentary way more than the movie in theaters right now though. Obviously, by my sig and avatar, I'm regressing to a time period before I was even born. Help!
