I'm gonna stop keeping track of all my movies and books. I don't think I'll post on this blog again. Time to cancel Instagram, too. Too much time staring at screens. I'd cancel FB if it wasn't so useful for TOV... hmmm...

The Glory Stompers

I don't think I'd seen this since 2011. Been far too long. This was one of the very first biker movies I'd ever watched. Was about time we cycled it back into rotation.

The Glory Stompers is one of the most quintessential biker movies of all time. It really has it ALL. Absolutely definitive. The best love-in scene, weird headgear, bikes in every frame of the movie, sick choppers, mommas, old ladies, drugs, karate chops, fuzzed-out guitars, swastikas, violence, chains, kidnapping, death...I could go on and on. This movie has ever trope in the biker book. So it's amazing.

Oh yeah, did I mention Dennis Hopper is the lead and Casey Kasem is in it? He's got a cool role, too. Casey was in more than one biker flick from the 60's, in fact. Hopper is great in this, of course.

An absolute classic of the genre. Highly enjoyable.

808

808 is streaming on Amazon Prime. It's a documentary on the Roland 808. I realize it's a pretty niche interest, but I was stoked to see it. The movie didn't disappoint. It's a very well done dive into the origins and the worldwide influence of the 808. There are a lot of A-listers interviewed and the enthusiasm for the 808 is infectious.

Probably the only drum machine documentary you'll ever see. ;)
