its alright, not amazing. some good bits but it is really american and quite abit of "how he is doing this without the bolts and using his own gear" ball licking in it and blah blah. bouldering bits are better though

  very very annoying feature! I might pass and get something more bouldering centred then!

[SA Chris]

like wait for LOH!

If you want to watch bad Chuck Friedburger films, you can have my copy of Specimen.

[Wipey Why]

If you haven't seen them his earlier efforts of Core and Pure are much more enjoyable

Ditto, bit of a waste of £8. Looks like no decent bouldering flicks till life on hold then.

What was wrong with it? I agree the trailer looks good...

[clgladiator]

a lot of talking and looking at boulders not many showcases of  . Just not what I expected.

I haven't seen this video, or many others recently except "Tomorrow I'll Be Gone". to be honest, I rarely manage more than a few minutes of the big productions.
what I dislike in many modern videos is that they try to make art, philosophy and poetry out of a climbing video. they try to move our souls and to create emotions, but often just bigging up the resources and the length.
the result, to me, is that those parts, and therefore the whole movie, feels cold, detached and also a bit false. artificial.
the key, to me, is that the truly inspiring videos had behind truly inspiring individuals, before strong climbers. the contemporary wads, bar a few brilliant exceptions, have nothing to say or to show axcept the ability to pull on small holds. their human nature, their "depth" never comes out. maybe there's nothing in them apart the climbing, maybe there is and they can't show it. anyway to me they are transparent. what you see in the video is their entire persona. I know I'm wrong, but this is my impression.
or maybe I'm just an old fart who's just bitter.

   Maybe we're both old and bitter.

I thought that Outcrop's recent one, (the SA one I can't remember the title of,) was loads better than most of the recent american crop I've seen, and that was done as a bit of fun.

that's exactly "Tomorrow I'll Be Gone". that's brilliant.

[a dense loner]

a bit of fun? i wouldn't like to see anyone serious then...
actually chuck's serious, yeh i wouldn't like to see anyone serious then
no one video's boulder problems and puts them in a film for fun

tomorrow i'll be gone brilliant? its slower than castaway

That's still going on the DVD cover

Yep. I downloaded this and was also disappointed. Lots of talking - wild places are soulful, rock is inspiring, need to slow to down to climb well etc. etc. and unfortunately hardly any climbing to balance it out, which is a shame as lots of the Jimmy Webb/Brian Voges vimeo stuff shows some great looking problems in that area.

Watch Stickit, The Real Thing, Rampage and the Dosages first. Then look behind your sofa for some spare change and seek out West Coast Gimps and L'Etranger. Then stop watching bouldering films, because none of the others have any bouldering in them.

Not a slight at all, in fact I like it, but there are some deepish philosophical prose in your blog as to why you climb and do what you do.

Someone will have to lend me a DVD burner if they want WCG    Don't know if climbing films are either getting shitter or  i'm just not as bothered in my old age.  I like the Outcrop stuff and Progression was quite good, big thumbs down for Chucks stuff for all the reasons above.

I agree. Forgot about that one.

I think "The Scene" is quite OK.  I liked the interviews in it, especially the last ones with Sharma and Andrada.  The Indian Creek thing in the beginning was boring, but I got a psyched on New River Gorge.  I think I'll do an east coast / american south trad trip (gunks>new river>red river>t-wall) as soon as US attacks Iran and the dollar depreciate. Next fall perhaps?

[Muenchener]

the contemporary wads, bar a few brilliant exceptions, have nothing to say or to show axcept the ability to pull on small holds. their human nature, their "depth" never comes out.

Dave Graham came across as an interestingly mad genius in Udo Neumann's interview. But I suppose he's an old fart, last generation now and not "contemporary" any more.

 I thought his Nalle accent was quite funny and how he is always exploring was the only good interview in it really...

that was exactly one of the exceptions I had in mind. that was brilliant. a man out of his mind, completely possessed. his description of "Realization" will soon be tattoed in my back!!! "it's piss! it's an 8c+, then a 7b+ boulder problem, then a 7a route. it's pathetic!" or the likes...

[Muenchener]

"Realization" ... "it's piss! it's an 8c+, then a 7b+ boulder problem, then a 7a route. it's pathetic!" or the likes...

Let's hope Adam doesn't read ukb, or that's the end of the onsight.

[miso soup]

That is pretty funny, what does he say that in?  I don't remember it in The Scene?

[slackline]

Yep, I do remember that one.  Looking forward to pictures of the tattoo...

it's too late to back up, innit?
