FISTFULAYENGunnin’ For That #1 Spot
Just back from checking out Adam Yauch‘s new movie, Gunnin’ For That #1 Spot, which follows eight high school basketball players into the “Elite 24″ all-star game in Harlem’s Rucker Park. Now anyone that knows me knows I’m not a fan of either movies or basketball, but I’m here to admit this is a damn fine movie and encourage you to see it next week when it opens up. These kids are amazing; it’s easy to get swept up in their story.
Not entirely coincidentally, four of the eight are going to be draft picks the day before the movie comes out.
Check it out and let me know what you think.

You are correct, Nigh Patrol is the best movie ever made, a complex story about identity which fits exactly my aesthetic: “large amounts of talent spent on something asinine”.
