(Quick blurb/review) I watched Riding Giants recently and found it quite enjoyable. I think it’d be great to watch this, and Step Into Liquid, on a bigger screen while I chill out. RG is divided into 3 main stories and has a lot on the history of surfing thrown in for good measure. The 3 parts are about Greg Noll (the coolest dude in the movie), Jeff Clark, and Laird. My only criticism of RG though is that the third part of the movie seemed rushed and anti-climatic. Well, not anticlimatic, but after watching the section on Mavericks, the time devoted to Laird didn’t seem as important, even though it is. Go rent it. Even better- rent it, then wait for Angie and Mike to go out of town, then break into their place and watch it on their plasma screen.
Edit: Marc sent me a quick email to 1) remind me that I need to enable comments on the blog and 2) to add this comment:Dude….if you’re going to break into Mike and Angie’s to watch
RG on the Plasma…do some justice while you’re at it. You need to pull out all the Transformer “toys” (yes I said toys) and play to your hearts content. I’m talking full on Twain…. “Dance like nobody’s watching; love like you’ve never been hurt. Sing like nobody’s listening; live like it’s heaven on earth; Play with transformer toys like your [sic] a wee lad.”
