LINE OF SIGHT

AGAIN a fixedgear-related post…? Well, hahahaha, I just had to share this quote of Mat Hoffman (via Nalden):

“If you want to see what it’s like to play a live game of ‘frogger’, on a bike, with only one life, check out Line Of Sight.”

Inspired? Join July 8th “Ellendecat” or “Down the Rabbit Hole” July 14th!

Beginners

Just came back from the cinema and want to recommend this film to those who are interested. I wouldn’t and couldn’t write a review of any film, but have to say this is just such a nice and touching film… The script, the shots, the speed, the music, the acting – Wonderful!

The central nugget of the film happens to be true: The director’s father, Paul Mills, former director of the Oakland Museum of California, came out at 75 and died of lung cancer four years later. Other aspects of the film are not strictly autobiographical.
But the drawings that Oliver (played by Ewan) works with in the film, are all drew by Mike himself… Not to miss!

And for those who don’t know: Mike Mills also directed the music video for the Air song ‘All I Need’, which is, seriously, all you need to know.
