Title: The Walk
Post by: mortlock on October 05, 2015, 08:07:08 PM
I saw the doc on philippe petit called man on a wire. it was really interesting. its pretty mind blowing to think this guy actually pulled this off. major league balls.

I def need to see this movie.

my jazz/noise band NPV had a release dedicated to him. i also used a photo from the day petit crossed the towers for a show flyer once.

'crossing towers' 3" cdr [rainbow bridge recordings, 2010]
- this rochester trio uniquely combines horn abuse, transistor radio frequencies, pummeling bass and ethereal synth-scapes to form an original, demented, mysterious brand of ambient noise. recorded live at goodbye blue monday in nyc.

"Man on Wire" was rad. I don't see how a docu-drama can top that.

The 3D (if you like 3D) is supposed to be spectacular.  Giving people vertigo...

Just saw in 3D imax

I was squirming. A lot. Was awesome.

Man on Wire was awesome as well.

See both.
