Documentary thread

I kept hearing about this. Then I kept forgetting all about it. YT recommendations are useful for something.

Full doc.

Trailer.

Caught that on Amazon.
Has its moments and starts good but just falls apart.

The trailer makes it seem like a load of famous older skaters talking vaguely about a thing that they weren’t directly part of.

That N Men doc was good I thought. Cool, funny, sad. GF fairly impressed at how eternally young lots of them look, dunno how old TG is but the fucker seems not to be ageing.

It’s definitely worth watching in my opinion.
I was unaware of Don Bostick’s full back story too.

Respect for the N-Men

Loopy. Real life or death stuff potentially. Looks beautiful and horror scary at the same time

It’s all gone a bit Larry Clark…

(I’m being lazy here with the copy-paste YT description).

An atmospheric portrait of the iconic downtown New York City park, showcasing the skaters, punks, teens and junkies who make the public space their temporary home.

The documentary portrait was filmed in 2016 and released in February of 2017. Filmed and Edited by Jack Greer.

Yeah. Can’t even wait until the segment is finished. Needs that vitamin C right now.

This was great. Loved the bacchanalian feasting with Sleazy devouring that chicken. Balance was speeding his tits off in that interview.

Sleazy really was quite a sleazy chap, by all accounts. His experiments with coprophilia almost killed him, according to England’s Hidden Reverse.

Quite likely (and hopefully) the first time this sentence has been typed on a skateboard forum.

Saw him do the Threshold Boys Choir thing and it damn near got the venue shut down.

Where was this? I think a mate of mine went to see one of those performances somewhere in a venue in Scotland iirc. Found it, ahem, troubling.

Stereo. Optimo promoted it, and they’d already had a bit of grief after putting on Whitehouse (probably about ten years previously right enough).

The trouble with the Stereo show was the projections.

Yeah some quite explicit and not necessarily consensual content iirc.

Just googled coprophilia. Day ruined. Thanks.
