The Upsetter: New Trailer

Hot off the rack, a brand new trailer for the feature length documentary The Upsetter, The Life & Music of Lee Scratch Perry, which as you all know has been traveling around the globe since the world premier at SXSW this March. In less than half a year the film has opened in Austin, Baltimore, Toronto, Brooklyn, Copenhagen, Melbourne, Edinburgh, Prague and probably a couple other cities that I'm forgetting. In November the film embarks on a nationwide tour as a part of the Scion Film Series hitting Atlanta, Los Angeles, Chicago and a host of other US cities. If you haven't seen it, now is your chance to experience a movie that is already being placed among the greatest music documentaries of our generation. And if you think I'm exaggerating watch this short trailer below:

Don't Be A Menace II South Central While Drinking Your Juice In the Hood

In honor of Allan's post about Boyz N The Hood here is one my favorite scenes from Don't Be A Menace. This movie demands revisiting. I suggest a We Has Spoken screening.

Check out this classic father/son moment (note how the father is younger than the son) mocking Boyz N The Hood completely.



The dialog is amazing. Too many great lines to single out but here's a couple:

• "Want some breakfast?" "Nah I'm cool man, I just had some Red Hots."
• "No Smokin' My Shit, Don't let me catch you drinkin' my shit and if you bring any of them Ho's up in here make sure I fuck 'em first."
• "Hey let me ask you something, Tre, you still a Virgin?" "Well there was this one dude rubbed up against my butt one time, but I didn't like it."

And one of my favorite lines in the entire movie:

• "Get to the damn fuckin' part!"

When is WEAPONS coming out?!

For anyone who has been curious what the fuck's been going on with WEAPONS watch this:
