is this harsh, overpriced it may of been but "a recent watch paint dry example was mark reeves almost unviewable amateur hardcore, purporting to focus on the bouldering scene in north wales this movie employed all the tropes of the snow/skate DVD genre right down to its purile pr0n pun of a title, contextless footage of bare chested men performing show off tricks and meaningless interview footage" by show off tricks does he mean climbing thigs harder than vdiff?

That's just an exercise in journalistic wordplay, which can be fun, but one has to be careful what one is saying it about.

i had the misfortune of watching said film if one can call it that. it is shite

[fatneck]

Where did you find that review SFM? Very harsh! Is considerably better than Duty Paid and I thoroughly enjoyed it! It got a pretty positive response on here when it was first released...

[cowboyhat]

Mark Reeves is not a filmmaker.

[Huffy]

Talented climbers and all nice guys on the Video, inc Mark but it's rude to charge full price for a video like that, it's pretty Dire

(and i dont mean ding dong)

[ding dong]

hop it! pun meister

the problem with Marks films is that he charges 20 quid for them when they're blatantly not worth it. How can Amateur Hardcore be the same  price as something as slick and professional as Dosage. If he had charged ten quid for them no one would grumble and i reckon he'd sell a shit load more (and probably make more money!). Thats what i did with West Coast Gimps.

yeah some guy was ranting in climb magazine this month about amateur hardcore.
couldnt decide if he had a point, or if he was a bitter old fart. He picked out some vids he consdidered to be poor then some good. I think he did have a point when he said that if he saw another (and Im paraphrasing) beanie toting idiot gurning in front of the lens. It made me laugh actually, this has been the case ever since the real thing came out, where every problem ends with a gurn. The Real Thing is certainly excused though.

[Huffy]

Everyone knows you too generous tho Doyle.

The Real Thing is certainly excused though.

Quality vid! Pain Au Chocolate!

Is it really that bad? It makes me really not want to buy it (not that I would have done   )

And I'd pay £20 for WCG if I had £20... but I'd be happy to pay £10 though... If I had £10

I agree, WCG is a great film - shame I can't get Chris' second vid to play properly  :?
