Another chance to see the excellent Page One: Inside the New York Times!

Also, Littlerock again!

Also, Saigon Electric!

In this hiphop film, which in my estimation is one of the best hiphop films ever made, we see the new spirit of Saigon. We see how this new spirit has adopted and modified a culture that developed in the streets of New York. The cultural technologies of breakdancing and rap music are employed by these energetic youth to assemble new identities and opportunities in an economically oppressive environment. As always, neoliberalism is the main villain. The youth practice and create in a public space. Financial capital wants to transform this public space into a moneymaking space. The youth do not give in just like that. They put up a fight. The movie’s rap music is fresh and the breakdancing is fresher. CHARLES MUDEDE

Also, ALL THIS OTHER FUCKING STUFF!!!
