Fuck, what a movie. I tripped acid a few weeks ago and found myself blasting DJ Shadow's Endtroducing album pretty fucking loud, there's just something to the way that he orchestrates sounds and rhythms...anyway, the movie; I've been following a few homeless people around recently, taking pictures, filming and hearing their stories, as well as some other random street photography, trying to capture what they go through in a city like Baltimore. Then late last night, some friends came over and we started discussing good films to watch or that we'd recently watched...(Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, etc) and my buddy suggests Dark Days....

That movie... There was a nonfiction book out about the people that live in the old subway tunnels in NYC. "The Mole People," by Jennifer Toth. You should check it out, or I could lend you my copy.

Sisyphus, funny you should mention that. I talked to chris when he came over this morning after I had just finished watching it, and he said the same thing.

I saw that about ten years ago, and yeah, it's a very good flick. Definitely worth watching.

If you are actually interested in the social aspect of the film then look up "Outside society " it was the film that started a tiny change actually getting useless liberal do gooder college pukes into the tunnels to help out.

That looks like an interesting flick, adding it to the list. Also, if you're thinking about assembling what you're working on into a movie, we've got some good connections around here to the film festivals and such.
LSD,

loved that stuff! Enjoy it while you've got the time and freedom to do so. Getting older makes 72 hour vacations from reality much more difficult
Oh, and does anyone else think DJ Shadow is really great for riding? It doesn't get me riding all crazy like punk rock, and I can hear the good parts over the engine. (it makes me sad that listening to opera/classical on the bike is futile).
