Movie of The Month

Welcome to my latest monthly addition to 28 North Speaks: Movie of The Month!

For this inaugural installment, I have chosen the 1993 classic Airborne starring Shane McDermott, Brittney Powell, a young Seth Green, and a remarkable breakout role from Jack Black.  Now, if you have seen this flick or go out and view it immediately upon reading this blog post, you may ask the question: Ty, is this a fucking joke??!!  And the answer would inevitably be... yes.  Then again the answer would also be, no.  Truth is this: I.  Love.  This.  Movie.

It takes place in Ohio (fuck yah!), albeit Cincinnatti, involves a surfer dude from San Diego (Shane McDermott) who is temporarily transplanted to the midwest to live with his cousin (Seth Green), and revolves heavily around roller blading.  That is correct.  Roller blading.  Not inline skating.  This was '93, we called it roller blading back then.  At least I did. 

For those of you that are unfortunately unaware, the '90's were the peak of human civilization.  This has a lot to do with the quality of the cinema in those days.  I mean, Jurassic Park (also released in '93), Dumb & Dumber, Land Before Time II... tell me those titles don't cry: This is the best it gets!

Yes, this is all meant to be taken with a grain of salt and a chuckle, but I do encourage those that have not seen this quality film to run out and experience it for themselves.  Thank me later.  Or curse me, just watch the movie.

In other news,  we are only two days away from New Year's Eve and our big show at The Rex Theatre in Pittsburgh!  We are so excited to be rocking into 2013 with such glorious performers as The Poogie Bell Band, The Old E Allstars, and The Bridge City Bombshells.  Some tickets still remain and they are only $7!!!!  So grab them while you can, hope to see you there!!
