Can't wait to see this. Hoops forever, y'all!!!!
This film is right up your alley, pshabi. :D
has he been working on the bball movie or gala dvd?
Hmm...I assumed when they did the last radio show and said Yauch was editing that he was working on the Detroit/Chicago gala event dvd, but perhaps he was working on the basketball documentary instead. Gee, maybe we won't be getting that gala dvd afterall.
Congrats to MCA!!
Look how Skip to My Loo is repping Rucker Park in the NBA right now. Houston Rockets are getting it done without the Great Wall of China (Yao Ming.)
Oh goodie. We can look forward to a photo of Yauch with De Niro.
I want to see the movie. I'm not a huge fan of basketball but I like documentaries. I wish Yauch much success!
Any word on a new Beastie Boys song on the soundtrack?
No clue...
I would be very surprised if there were.
I'll ask you: What is a "highly musical documentary"?
Hopefully one of our New York friends will get to the festival!
I dunno. Lots o' songs with bass? ;P
The movie synoposis says "raw hip hop music."
I am really interested in this film, it sounds pretty good and it will be a good thing to see Yauch actually have a full length film out. I also wanted to comment on the drunken hero picture on tumblr. haha, I'd give my left nut to have that happen to me back in the 80's, at the age I am now of course, because a 1 year old shouldn't be participating in that debaucherie.
Two emails from Yauch in 24 hours! I hope he puts a poster download on the website like he did for AIFST.
