so some early last year i was watching Last Call and this guy Jai Al-Attas was on talking about his documentary that he just finished making. it's called one nine nine four because that's right after kurt cobain died and apparently this is when punk was making a comeback because grunge had just died. and anyway, the documentary is all about the rise of punk rock in the 90's! which is so exciting because i've seen plenty of documentaries about the history of punk and the pioneers and all that (which i still LOVE) but this is about MY generation and all the bands i grew up loving. particularly around the time i was in 3rd grade, i got really into offspring, the bosstones, save ferris, long beach dub allstars and then unwritten law, mxpx, blink, bad religion and goldfinger. my love for punk rock just exploded from there on and it's still growing every day! i love music so much and i was so excited for this movie. i remember as soon as carson ended that night, i went to straight to his website and got even more excited and i was like, 'i'm totally going to the premier!' which should've been months ago. it's one of those 'Fanboys' situations where they don't have enough funding or there are certain legal issues and this finished movie is sitting there waiting to be released. and recently they made these dope ass 1-9-9-4 tshirts that you can buy and support the movie. and even more recently put up a bunch of stuff liked autographed guitars and stuff. hopefully this comes out soon 'cause i wanna seee it already!!!
another thing the dude mentioned is that he saw dogtown and z-boys and he thought it was the greatest documentary ever made and i'm just like, "hell yeah it is!" and that's kinda what inspired him to do this. so that makes it ever better because i know it's going to be heavily influenced using the style the craig stecyk used to make dogtown and z boys, which i love, obviously because it is also one of my all time favorite movies.
