Does he say anything?

 

[xfer]

forbes? yeah, they use a ton of clips from his interview. spooner uses this technique where he shows a common thread running through a lot of peoples' experiences as black folks in the punk/underground subculture scenes, so he'll be talking about how there's very few black people at shows and will show like 9 people saying "I saw another black guy at the show and was like HEY I'M THE BLACK GUY AT THIS SHOW!" and forbes is in a few of those clip-sequences, and also some more extensive talking.

it's a good film--you should see it if it comes to your area.

i'll watch it as long as there are no diatribes about longing for individuality.

[Helm]

"definitely forbes appearances in that trailer!"

F- see me after class.

 

[deadair]

alex, i really want to see that. (matt davis is in that too right?)

review that DVD!

 

[rachmiel]

yes, he is... rip

 

[azal]

there was a black dude who always went to Lamours shows in a superman outfit...is he in the DVD? because he represents two minorities, the african american and the retarded.

 

[xfer]

what's wrong with that post helm?

jake I will DEFINITELY review it--I didn't even think about that.

azal, that dude is not in it. Spooner said he found people to interview based on messageboards and e-mail and maybe that dude has no internet contact.
