decided to see the premier last night which probably wasn't the hotest decision as the drive each way was rife with blood boiling issues. left home during the friday afternoon commute time and extra cars on the road with the tourism traffic coming in. got stuck on route 2 for a half hour behind someone doing 5mph under the limit before i could finally pass. 20 backup on i89 due to a single lane collapse. then it started raining to beat the band which meant it was very hard to see which caused me to get rather lost on the UVM campus. i thought i was going to be late, but the movie started way late, so i got to sit around for a while after rushing over. then the ride back, it was pouring, wet roads, and the headlights from other cars just played havoc on my eyes. seriously was a worse drive than some days i've driven in the snow.
any ways, driving issues aside, i got to see the premier which was friggin' schweet! the quantity of great ski action has definitely been stepped up from schooled. though i think the movie still only clocked in around one hour. i'd really like to see these guys get 80-90 minutes of footage into the actual movie, though i hear the DVD has a few hours worth of bonus footage. quite a few humerous moments and a couple "holy crap did he just huck that?!" scenes that were cool. as always with the meatheads, unlike warren miller fans i never got bored of the movie for a second and kept wanting more. after seeing this, i don't even think i could bring myself to see warren miller. i'd rather stay home and watch the DVD again, it's not even like WM is offering good free ticket offers this year. screw em'.
meatheads definitely kick butt and with the building fan base and publicity, i think they are really set to take off in the next few years. they packed the theatre the premier was held in, folks were sitting on the stairs... standing room only pretty much. definitely check out the born from ice tour, and epoch if you haven't seen that one yet. they are selling the born from ice DVD at the movie for only $15 which is cheaper than whenever skiershop.com will start selling it at $20.
