Docs We Love :: Downtown Calling
“Downtown Calling” documents the New York City of the late 70s and early 80s that we love & often romanticize. The New York that gave birth to the music, art, fashion, attitude and overall aesthetic that still influences our lives today. Our friend Shan Nicolson serves as director/producer, Ben Velez also produces & none other than Deborah Harry narrates. There’s interviews with a host of downtown characters and culturati including Fab 5 Freddy, Bobbito Garcia, Nelson George, Jazzy Jay, Mos Def and Mayor Ed Koch.
Watch the trailer of Downtown Calling or catch the doc at the Austin Film Festival next week. Nice job yo!
films we love :: a nightmare on elm street – the remake
s MySpace becoming the hot new way to release entertainment exclusives? If the past few weeks are any indication, the answer might just be yes.
Earlier this month, the site debuted the trailer for the Michael Jackson documentary – This Is It – and last week, MySpace was first to publish the track list for the New Moon soundtrack.
Today, MySpace features the exclusive debut of the trailer for A Nightmare on Elm Street, and in just under a day, it has already amassed more than one million video views.
MySpace’s strategy to rebrand as an entertainment portal seems to be pushing forward, with solid exclusives specifically designed to appeal to their core users. With another exclusive hit on their hands, we have to wonder, has MySpace finally found their place as Facebook continues to extend its dominance in the social networking realm?
While you ponder that question, check out the buzzworthy and haunting new trailer for the remake of Wes Craven’s 1984 horror film:

art We Love :: JR – Women Are Heroes
Here’s a taste of JR’s latest project entitled, Women Are Heroes. It’s been pretty amazing to see the scale of JR’s work growing. I’ve been told you could even see this recent example of his work from space.
My favorite part is the clapping and cheering from the people in the village as the train goes by. I’d love to create something that would evoke the same reaction. Crazy inspiring!

docs we love :: sk8face – the evolution of skateboard art
A long time ago I met a 14 year old kid who always, and I mean ALWAYS wore sunglasses. At that time, the only other people who wore sunglasses all the time were battered wives and Corey Hart. Every time I would see this kid, he was excelling at something else. I think he was the first person I ever saw do a lot of things that meant everything to a fellow 13 year old. Amazing feats of adolescence such as an en-do, a boomer-rang, a cherry picker, a decade and if my memory serves me correctly I think I saw the brother pull off a Miami Hopper. Now I know what your thinking…What the fuck am I talking about. Well, I’m talking about the golden age of 1980′s BMX + Freestyle. A time when bikes were painted fluorescent colors, seat posts were laid back and spokes became mags. Yes, those were some good days.
