Iwan Kemp Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 I have a couple of tickets available for tonight's screening. Drop me a PM.
Iwan Kemp Posted December 1, 2011 Author Posted December 1, 2011 Remember the good old fashioned BUMP?
Capricorn Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 flamebait perhaps, but dont expect too much. They awesome at those 2 - 3min webisodes, but the style does not translate to the big screen. meh
Tumbleweed Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 flamebait perhaps, but dont expect too much. They awesome at those 2 - 3min webisodes, but the style does not translate to the big screen. meh Interesting take. One of the few bits of negative feedback I've heard about it. Can't wait to see it tonight.
Capricorn Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 tw: the riding is insane, can never be faulted, but the presentation was underwhelming tbh. but keen to hear your take on it after youve seen it.

For sure. I thought the Coastal Crew had a rawness they carried off well, but that that may have been tempered and knocked into shape by Anthill's involvement. Looks like I'll have two opportunities to evaluate it. Might be watching tonight's Jozi screening and the Pretoria premiere next week too!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) Tumbles, the riding, as Cap says, is fantastic. There were several OMF! moments in there, and some really good footage. My main complaints are that it was A: Too damn short! They could have inserted the 10 3 minute shorts they published on the web to make it that much longer and more worthwhileB: It didn't flow nicely together. Follow Me & even Lifecycles had far more depth and enjoyment factor, and they were only about 10 to 15 minutes longer (okay, that is like 33% to 50% longer, so that is a big difference)C: Too damn short! As for the rawness - I definitely agree with you there... But it just didn't carry over to the screen as it did in the shorts. The shorts were all "small time riders riding big time stuff" and just having fun - what it's meant to be. The film, however, is just ride ride ride ride, oh, a train. Ride ride ride. Finish.

Thanks for that. Now my own opinion is going to be coloured by yours and Capri's! Oh, and congrats on Baby Mayhem!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Thanks mate! Don't get me wrong - the riding was UBERtastic! But you'll see what we mean.
Tumbleweed Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Thanks mate! Don't get me wrong - the riding was UBERtastic! But you'll see what we mean. Cool! Even if the film is a bit disappointing, the vibe of The Bioscope, the Maboneng Precinct street life and the &Union beers will more than make for an entertaining night.

Oh - and look out for the frenchies!
Squier Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Got some tickets for the PTA screening on Monday! Looking forward! Missed out on Life Cycles, not missing out again.
Capricorn Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 bang on with The Frenchies suggestion. You gonna love the froggies Tumbles.
