Just beware of Pyrocam's "Will you..."

haha! awesome. didnt get time :/

FIRST POST booyaa

will talk movie when home.

Awesome movie. Those of you who didn't come - shame on you. There was even a few shots of quadbikes at the end, so you can't complain it had nothing to do with bikes.

I bet that's the first time Kiwibiker's been thanked at a film festival (correct me if I'm wrong)!

It was most definately an awesome movie. very interesting. its hard to find the right word. humbling is a good one (stolen from quip at end)

god I felt like a loner at the end when the lights came on all the way up the front.

cough. actually i was being _considerate_ of the three people I tripped over on the way out

or did I know she was going to stand there... *que mysterious whistle *

yeah good point. good chat at denny's

[HDTboy]

Thanks for telling us about your film Dr. SC I'm glad I came along to watch it. It was different to what I'd usually watch, like you mentioned. I see that as a good thing, it encourages diversity, and variety is the spice of life.
You did well, congratulations. Hope you don't end up with a sore head tomorrow from celebrating tonight.

EDIT: have some green bling from me

BTW great company at Denny's afterwards......

Yeah, nice to meet some of you lot. Unfortunately I've already forgotten your names, but it's the thought that counts.

[bugjuice]

well done SC!!!! You did it!!!
Hope you're really wrapped (I thought the word was rapt)with it, and sorry about my question.. I was going to ask more, but then thought better of it, since not many others did, I didn't want to be the one shouting stuff out!

But well bloody done..

Dennys was fun too.. At the table, we had Postie, Pyro, HDTBoy, Parsley, Crashe, Speedy, me lady bug, and myself.. and a good chinwag.. was fun, cheers guys

[pyrocam]

Hey Doc. was it someone you knew who did the photo's? can we get some posted up here?

unfortuantly the best I got was this crusty one with my phone.

the band WAS definatly cool. a very nice touch to the film!

[parsley]

Hey Doc. was it someone you knew who did the photo's?

Yeah, she was very tasty.

Oh, and the photos...

[ManDownUnder]

SurfChick...

Aweome... I mentioned to Bill and Carole that I was sitting there beeming like an idiot at the end of it... I'm so proud of what you've done but I'm not sure it's my place to be so...

What you've achieved and been through in the last couple of years... WOW.

Got some behind the scenes updates from Carole too... something about you wanting to interview the IRA...

... so you went to the HQ and pressed the doorbell... talk about guts!

Just don't do the same if you do a doco on Al Qaeda or summat.... ok?

Back on topic though - the film itself wasn't enjoyable - but the journey was (if that makes sense). It made me think. I made me realise just how damned lucky we are in NZ, and it presented the situation in a manner I've NEVER seen before. No obvious agenda (which in turn was backed up with you not really knowing why you made the film).

All up... blardy awesome!

Enjoy your trip!

My honest opinion:

I knew that this was a documentary and not a movie and I don't know jack shit about Northern Irland and the conflicts with in. When we went through the names of the people being killed, I became anxious to know more about how or why these people were killed. I must admit, 3/5 of the narators were quite very difficult to understand with their heavy Irish accent (specially the old woman) but it wouldn't have been authentic if it were some english person telling the story, I guess.

I kept an open mind through out and tried to grasp as much as I could. At times I was moved and at times I found it a bit difficult to understand what was being potraited.

All I can say is that, it doesn't take an artist to realise that Dr. Monteith is quite very talented and I am sure the movie was a success in reaching out to most people.

I am no artist and on a normal given day, I wouldn't be watching an experimental film but it was certainly an interesting experience. I am actually quite fasinated to find out a bit more about northern Irland after watching this doco, so thank you Dr. Monteith for creating "Chapter and Verse" and sharing your interest and passion with the rest of us.

I must admit though, I was most excited by the little kids doing donuts at the end of the movie but hey, that's just me being a blunt racer dude.

Cheers, Sudeep.

Oh yea, the night just seemed to be full of surprises after the movie.

After the movie, I went back to my bike. Only to find out some fuken mother f-er had kicked it off the side stand and dropped it on it's side. Luckily there was no damage but if only I could just catch these pricks for once...

Then I had to play rescue angel for a bunch of pisshead hobos who looked like escapies from Mt. Eden. They were broken down on the side of the road at 1:00AM while it was pissing down. Took me an hour to carry them to town and back to the middle nowhere where their car was stuck.

It was fuken cool to meet up with my old friend so it was a good night alround. I hope the rest of yous kept out of trouble.

Where did you park your bike?

Pyrocam, Parsley, HDTboy and me parked our bikes in Aotea Square carpark.
No damage done to our bikes.

No drama for me going home..... I did however have to go via K' Rd to get to the Mobil gas station to refuel as I forgot I was on reserve... and not enough gas left to get me home.
It was friggen pissing down... hard to see the road/motorway. I was totally drenched... still drying all my gear out.

Can someone PLEASE invent a wiper to go on the visor.

OH ok, I tried to spot the other bikes but didn't know you guys were parking there so I just parked out side on the footpath next to the shops. It was out of everyones way and when the bike was on it's side, the stand was still down and it fell on the side where the stand is, so someone would have had to lift the bike and plumet it over. Cunts!
