Wow! What a great pick Mitch Baker! This one was right up my alley! The skateboarding, the soundtrack, the 1970's, the hair!



Looking at old DOGTOWN videos I see that they were very true to the original videos in a lot of ways, and there is a lot of attention to detail in this movie!

Also of course a lot of this reminded of being around SKANK SKATES, I am sure Dogtown is right up GEORGE SINCLAIR (rest in peace) 'S alley - actually this morning texting Springfield punk legend KEVIN BRADFORD, Kevin tells me that George actually had some original Dogtown memerobilia up in his apartment above Skanks that is worth a lot.

A couple of other takeaways:
- oh yeah, of course we all got a kick out of that brief BLACK FLAG appearance - which had me looking up what year BLACK FLAG actually started? The movie depicts them in the year '76 or '77, and doing some research wow, they started in '76 and were originally called PANIC for the first two years! I did not know that! (and sorry movie, but a BLACK FLAG shirt being worn by one of the band members does not make sense in this case timeline-wise, but I get it, they are wearing it to really show the viewers that this is BLACK FLAG)
- yeah I loved the soundtrack, my favorite is that BUDGIE was playing (right before JOHNNY KNOXSVILLE shows up dressed up as KID ROCK)
- my friend Evan says we all have to watch the 1978 movie "SKATEBOARD" now (not sure where that is streaming)

WHELP, THE VOTES ARE IN. THIS WEEK'S OFFICIAL PICK IS:

THE ICE STORM (1997)

[brain galacki]

We actually have an official pick this week, underground movie club.

Movie club Mike picked it from the too far underground online list that I made a separate thread for a couple of days ago.

That is Japanese film "Black Lizard" (1968)



I have been downloading this film on my computer all day, but just realized it's actually streaming multiple places on youtube....



Have fun watching movie club, report back with what you thought!

Hello Mitch I watched the Mummy yesterday just for you. The special effects reminded me of T2: Judgment Day. I wonder what else James Cameron has been up to lately.
