| The Other F Word

Movie.

What a crazy sounding documentary, but it kinda makes sense and seems especially apropos to the Action Team Dads Krew 2000:

Punk rock dad: an oxymoron? The Other F Word, with charm and wit, explores the bizarre transformation of punk rockers (featuring Pennywise's Jim Lindberg, whose anthem is "F--- Authority") into soccer dads. The L.A. punk scene's leading men - among them Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Ron Reyes (Black Flag), Mark Hoppus (Blink 182), Tim McIlrath (Rise Against), and Fat Mike (NOFX) - open up about their troubled childhoods and how, today, they balance profane rage with being conscientious parents.


I'm not a punk rock dad yet, but Eric and Jon should see this and report! (Were/Are you a punk rock dad Art? I imagine you're more as a prog-rock dad!)

One of the negative review quotes is kind of hilarious and makes me want to see this even more: "Flea almost cries. Twice. There's your four-word summation of The Other F Word, a half-poignant, half-absurd documentary on punk-rocker dads."

Also, exec produced by Morgan Spurlock of Super Size Me fame. Also also, the list of Punk Dads in the movie is much better and more interesting than what's listed in the blurb. They got Mr Brett in there! And Lars! And Tony Hawk, king of Punk Rock Dad/Skate Mongols!

EDIT: DC Universe MMORPG is now Free 2 Play (PC and PS3 versions!) like every other MMORPG out there that fails to beat WoW. Never tried it but will give it a go this weekend or something.
