The Other F Word trailer
“This revealing and touching film asks what happens when a generation’s ultimate anti-authoritarians — punk rockers — become society’s ultimate authorities — dads. With a large chorus of punk rock’s leading men - Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Flea, Rise Against’s Tim McIlrath - THE OTHER F WORD follows Jim Lindberg, a 20-year veteran of the skate punk band Pennywise, on his hysterical and moving journey from belting his band’s anthem “F—k Authority,” to embracing his ultimately authoritarian role in mid-life: fatherhood.”
Hmm. I wouldn’t label any of these bands or guys punks anymore.

Last week I missed seeing a documentary called X: The Unheard Music followed up with X playing all of Los Angeles - the first night of Riot Fest . I was still in Minnesota and wouldn’t change that for the world … but I am sad a little I missed this show.

Riot on the Dance Floor clip
A documentary about City Gardens, the old famous punk club in Trenton, NJ! As a Midwesterner, I only recall that venue from that Dickies live album (free shit) but I look forward to going and seeing it!
Bryne Yancey brought this to my attention. If you’ve not seen it, check it out.
From the Back of the Room trailer
Sounds interesting! And just to remind everyone, the 1995 riot grrrl documentary Not Bad for a Girl really should be seen at some point. For comparing and contrasting.

Dying to Do Letterman trailer/audience reactions
Just saw it at the Siskel. It may not be Harlan County U.S.A. but holy crap it’s inspiring. You heard it here first: this doc is going places.
In 2005, Steve Mazan was just another struggling young comic hoping to realize every comic’s dream: to be booked for the Late Show with David Letterman. Then he was diagnosed with inoperable liver cancer, and the picture changed but the dream didn’t. DYING TO DO LETTERMAN follows Mazan through a wild and crazy quest to beat the odds—the Letterman odds and those pesky cancer odds, all the while honing his art and sharpening his humor.
