Eighteen Wheeler

posted by on June 4 at 10:42 AM

At the Big Rig showing last Saturday, the filmmakers parked a semi in front of the Egyptian Theater. Anyone who wanted to could climb inside the cab and sit in the driver’s seat or check out the setup. The film was great, with interesting people—individualists not fitting into the regular 9-to-5 life. I love seeing documentaries that show you a subculture that you didn’t know anything about before.

Keep your rubber down and your metal up!

That movie was awful. A dozen truckers talking about a dozen different things all mixed together without any context or explanation.

Scratch (same director) was good.

Agreed with above. Good concept, but totally disconnected. They could have showed all the scenes backward and it would have had the exact same impact.
