The fighting video is excellent-- which is the title? Look at the socks-- are those "fighting socks"?

Is the title (accidentally left off by the way) of that video "How To Softly Embrace Helpless Drunk Overwieght Dudes About To Puke Then Lightly Sucker-Knee Them In The Gut"?

Nice string of covers... though mining the Homespun line could turn into a cottage industry all it's own. The G-SPOT thing is fabulous. And turning Hip Hop into a verb for suburban white sixth-grader mall kids is fabulous-- "Learn To Hip Hop".

Kids-- do you like the rock and roll? And how about the hip hop?

Um, I think all of you looking up this crap on Amazon has led to having some of these recommended when one looks up certain foreign titles. Or is this recommended for everybody looking up "Andrei Rublev?"

I could swear that's Ben Affleck in "Goddess Worship."

As for that learn to hip-hop cover, looks like it's trying to show a before-and-after scenario. Go from dorky white kid to gangsta in under thirty minutes!

And they're totally ripping off Andy "Zephyr" W.'s lettering for Charlie Ahearn's WILD STYLE film.Image, especially the animated intro where the wall shown on the cover is done in morphing marker the same color & style as the "breaking" vid.

I think I took a picture of that when I was in New York in '84.

I also love the fact that that video includes warm-ups. Because, as we all know, when you're about to be involved in a no-holds-barred, all-in street rumble, both sides have to take a few minutes to warm up first. I mean, you wouldn't want to get hurt!

Also, I just wanted to say that I, for one, am glad that Keola Beamer is making instructional videos. Because he looks like the kind of guy who would try to touch his students inappropriately if he was involved in a one-on-one tutorial, so it's best to keep him as far away from actual people as possible.

Yes, I figured that out. Still doesn't make it any less mind-boggling.

Wrong. Every kid wore that shit back then as summer shorts, mostly in cutoff denimns cut at mid thigh-- that was my generation (grad 1985), and I grew up born & raised & still live inna Bronx. I know personally most of those kids in that vid & STLE WARS (Rich SEEN!ONE UA lives across the street from me).

Them Old Navy clamdigger kneehigh cargo shorts weren't in existence yet.

The best thing about those days was that kids split off into completely opposing groups with their own savagely protected look to them... the headbangers hated the hip hoppers hated the punkers hated the preps hated the denimn Who Stones Zep stoners, and they all glared at each other across the schoolyard high on dust smoking cigarets. Example-- back then if a punk caught you wearing Doc Maartens they'd rumble you on the street and rip them right the fuck offa your feet send you home barefoot on the subway with feet bones snapping. Today all kids are vaguely Club MTV/hip-hop/hint-of-punk generic mall, with generic douche-bag tattoos. No huge packs of kids going to the grave on splinter beliefs worn on their sleeves anymore. I'll take those goofy high shorts with pulled up tube socks beating each others brains in any day.

Kind of puts Criterion's "J Crew" covers for the Doinel set in perspective, don't it?

Those are the UGLIEST covers I have ever seen for some of the best films ever made (ok, some of my favorite films). WTF, Truffaut heirs?

Why don't we just extend this to VHS and laserdisc titles?
