There appear to be four videos on that page. For me, three of them spontaneously start playing at once and their sound tracks merge unintelligibly. By selecting and pausing two of the movies, the third can be heard.

Just in case that helps others.

Thanks for the link!

There's your problem. Who still uses Internet Explorer? Join the Mozilla, Opera, or Chrome bandwagons quick -- unless you want to be stuck in 2001.

I enjoyed that a lot. The film maker dug below the surface to exposethe huge ground level and underground cultural scene with which we have always been, and still are, blessed. I found the host charming with the classic slack-jaw wonderment I have seen in so man, first when they see the fabulous ruin and then when they see the fabulous culture and well spring of creativity we have.

Larry Mongo was particularly entertaining.

hahahha!

More on subject, the film is awesome! It premiered in NYC a few days ago and my friend was at the screening. Said it was very well received, and a panel spoke positively about Detroit after the film. Cool stuff, might be 'just' to sell a product [[those snazzy boots, i mean really, a documentary about Detroit to sell boots?) but it got a lot more across than just that.

I'm using Google Chrome, it's much faster, crashes less, migrated my favorite places, has a built in spell check, and when it does crash, just reopens the pages with text [[like when I am typing a post on DYES and haven't saved yet), but occasionally is unsupported by some web sites.

Johnny Knoxville is such a jack ass [[ha, get it?), but I really liked this video. It is nice that we have someone popular with younger generations trying to balance the views of places like Detroit. However, what really benefits Detroit and it's residents is reporting of facts, without adding in the opinion of the reporter, narrator, or author.

From that point, you can move on to following individuals and walking in other's shoes. I, for example, have a blog that is biased, but also stresses that I a offering the readers a chance to walk in my shoes as an average father who is documenting the experience of moving into the city from the suburbs, and raise a family there [[urban pioneers is a better description than urban lifestyle). The idea here, was something I picked up from other bloggers, in that there are various problems in our society. To help understand those problems, we need many real documentaries and journals made available to promote a better understanding of what is going on and why, as well as uncovering solutions we may not otherwise see.

By it's nature, DetroitYES with it's new format, really is a great tool to document and categorize those who blogs, journals, and documentaries. Still, it is a movement in it's infancy, and hopefully more people will continue to document their or other people journey.

We are citizens and urban pioneers, a few braving the hardship and tending to the light of progress and knowledge, just like a few brave souls in the Dark Ages, or during the exploration of the Americas. The more people who participate, the faster we will reach an area near the ideals we set.

We're not going to show you abandoned buildings.... Hey, look at the abandoned buildings.

[xphillipjrx]

Very good. Somebody posted it to my FB this morning. When were they filmed?

Funny quote from Knoxville as he entered an abandoned theater, "I get enough adventure on my day job and now I gotta go in here".

[mikeg19]

Although they could have done a lot more to show more positive progress in the city, I still thought it was a pretty cool little film.

Based on that poorly thought out reply... I would tend to agree....

But really Gsgeorge... that was not one of your finest moments on DYES....

... or should we just chalk that one up to the "artistic temperament"??

Neh, you can't win 'em all.

Either you are satirizing yourself, or you possess more audacity than is decent and a sense of self-importance that exceeds even my own.
Thing is, I'm usually just kidding. Clearly, you are serious.
Although it seems that you should be up-graded to Critical, as goes with "Mass."

[Motown Madman]

Oh, I saw that on an advertisement for a youtube video. Looks cool, will watch.

Why don't you put him on "ignore" already?

[Ravine]

Why? I could easily skip over his posts any time I choose to do so. The "Ignore" function is ridiculous. It's like having a watchdog to guard you from yourself.
He speaks of Detroit his way. I speak of it my way. I suppose that each of us believes that the other is offending and that we are defending. It's interaction, internet-forum style, and in this case, there is a very sharp reaction, coming from me, to his attitude and comments.

Why bother to read his posts if he gets you that annoyed?

[Ravine]

Jeebus Krispies Awmighty, Pam, how long, now, have you been reading my postings?
I have job to do, here, goddamit. Becoming annoyed-- and I should add that it is a stretch, to characterize my thorny reaction as a manifestation of true annoyance-- goes with the territory.

After reading the last paragraph of the post you responded to, I am glad you are doing your job. My thorny reaction to that would have been a manifestation of true annoyance. Thankfully, a thorny reaction had already been made.

"Hipsters growing carrots isn’t enough."

I'll confess to being a big proponent of "art, individual creativity and hyperlocal collectivist action," but that made me laugh out loud.
