dr.testical Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 independent movie that continues to receive huge accolades with an original score by El-P. i'd like to get some of your opinions on how you think it looks. “The average New Yorker sees upwards of 50 pieces of graffiti a day. But they never stop to think about the stories behind those pieces… this is one of those stories.” Bomb the System is the first feature in over 20 years to delve into the world of graffiti art. The film, shot entirely on the streets of New York City, is the feature debut of 23-year-old writer/director Adam Bhala Lough. Mark Webber (People I Know, Storytelling, The Laramie Project) leads a talented young ensemble cast as Blest, a 19-year-old graffiti writer fresh out of high school with no ambition for the future. New York City is Blest’s playground. He spends his days stealing spray paint from local hardware stores - and his nights getting high and “bombing” the streets with his graffiti crew. He is the most wanted writer on the NYPD Vandal Squad’s hit list, and at the same time, is attracting attention from the local gallery scene. But things quickly turn ugly when 15-year-old Lune, the youngest member of Blest’s crew, is arrested and brutalized by the NYPD. The crew retaliates by waging an all out “graffiti war” against the city: a war that ends up costing more than one life in the end. Bomb the System is a true New York story - a cinematic poem dedicated to the art of graffiti, and to the city where it all began more than two decades ago. bomb the system trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it will blow up... but honestly, if it did come out on some Faster and Furiouser shit god have mercy on the suburbs. Then again, it'd mean a lot of free paint for some people.

Swiffer Jet Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 wait, why did you use a white guy as the main character? nigga shit, that's weak sauce. everyone knows the minority were the targets. should have kept that sterotype alive. i made no sense. sorry.

Dr. Dazzle Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I'm going to get as many people as I can, go and see this, and bomb the shit out of the movie screen. Then if anyone tries to stop me, I'll blame it on the movie for corrupting my innocence... Paint or the pop my ass..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abracadabra Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Originally posted by Telo Where does the "Gay-O-Meter" start? the gay-o-meter begins with 0 which is neutral. certain factors will give you a score on the gay-o-meter which will determine just how gay you are. for example: killing wild animals with your bare hands = -1000 points (ie extremely un-gay) riding a unicycle = +20 points (ie gay, but not that gay) wearing a pirate shirt with parachute bell bottms = +1000000 points (ie off the gay radar it's so extremely gay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
