I've been waiting for it to finally finish and hope to get to see it
somewhere! I'm just wondering if it ever reaches any other than small
independent film festivals and the premiere night in the U.S. (where Morales
shows up with his monsterbuilt steroid bodyguards:)
Hopefully the film aires on TV sometimes somewhere...
There's been a debate about the lack of Chicago jocks (Hardy etc.) in the
film, only one included is Frankie. It basically concentrates on the N.Y.
scene only.
But it does have one unique element to it though: the last interview with
Francis Grasso, the founder of modern beat-mixing. I must say I'm waiting to
see that particular piece in the film more than anything. Hope there's some
documentary footage from that era also!
Detroit -let's face it: I don't think Detroit will ever get the recognition
(or film) they deserve. People just don't understand it, basically to most
dance enthusiasts Detroit guys were just a bunch of loonies who did wacky
beats and experimented with modern pop music... Don't kill me for saying
this! It's not my opinion but I believe that's the common folks opinion if
they had any.
