Yeah yeah, everything is everything. It's just that the article could've been entitled Why doesn't surfing live up to its hype?Goodfish said:Yes, by all means. If that's important to you. Personally, I don't care either way. If they get it, then that's cool. If they don't, then that's Point Break. Which is also cool.test_article said:
Either way, no one has an objective answer.
Pop culture, please give us a down and dirty fantasy on surf territorialism.
I think the joy we all get from surfing is self-evident and beyond dispute. I love it, don't you? So the actual act is pure in its joy, but cannot be replicated or reproduced. I think the point of the article is that films are not really able to truly represent this joy. The hype is in the inadequate movies, not the act of surfing itself. Which is hardly a surprise because listening to a song is always going to be better than reading a description of what the song is like.test_article said:Yeah yeah, everything is everything.

But anyway...It's still fun to share the surf-related songs, movies and books we like.
Asking about surfing representation in pop culture is like asking for ejaculation representation.
Don't get me wrong. I love ejaculating.
But I get that it's kinda gross.

There are only two surf movies: Big Wednesday and Apocalypse Now.
The rest is rubbish.
On a side note: Milius and I share an attorney and although he is getting old and in poor health, I got to meet him and was pretty star struck. A legit surfer and an incredible writer and a very cool guy, for a crazy right wing gun nut! There was a moment in time when he and Oliver Stone were the two swinging d!cks as far as Hollywood writers go, and they produced some amazing material.

Your second choice is not a surf movie, and Milius is a kook. World class c u nt, given what he did to Billy Hamilton. IMO, if you f*ck with Billy you have to be a major c u nt.youcantbeserious said:
I have no idea what a "surf movie" is, and I have no idea what Milius "did to" Billy Hamilton. Why don't you lay some of your dope insider knowledge on us, and while you are at it, use your real handle.

Billy''s told the story a few times ~
