Title: "Fastest" and "Closer To The Edge" Post by: orangelion03 on November 14, 2011, 04:41:19 AM Managed to see both of these films yesterday even though they were at two different theaters across town from each other.
Suffice to say they are both excellent!!!! Title: Re: "Fastest" and "Close To The Edge" Post by: duccarlos on November 14, 2011, 07:35:51 AM I would love to watch Fastest, but not sure if it play down here.
Title: Re: "Fastest" and "Closer To The Edge" Post by: orangelion03 on November 14, 2011, 08:16:05 AM Hell Carlos, I didnt even know about it until Saturday afternoon when a friend posted the info on his Facebook page! If you are in San Diego, this may have been your only opportunity as this was the West Coast, SoCAl showing. Maybe more info here: http://fastestthemovie.com/ (http://fastestthemovie.com/)
Mike Neale, the director was there, and he dedicated the film to Marco. As a reminder to others: TT3D : Closer To The Edge - Official Trailer [HD] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QldZiR9eQ_0#) Trailer for feature length MotoGP Documentary ‘Fastest’ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8sl0mclf4E#) Title: Re: "Fastest" and "Closer To The Edge" Post by: duccarlos on November 14, 2011, 09:25:30 AM Hell Carlos, I didnt even know about it until Saturday afternoon when a friend posted the info on his Facebook page!

I learned my lesson there on my visit when the cab driver took us to the wrong place Title: Re: "Fastest" and "Closer To The Edge" Post by: duccarlos on November 16, 2011, 05:42:14 AM [you better slow down when speaking Carlos 8) I learned my lesson there on my visit when the cab driver took us to the wrong place Dude, these people don't speak Spanish. They speak Chilean. Title: Re: "Fastest" and "Closer To The Edge" Post by: Two dogs on November 16, 2011, 12:25:23 PM While on the subject of movies
I watched a movie about Lorenzo while at the PI GP on a laptop laptop and didn't get the name. IT was in Spanish with English sub titles , very interesting movie showing his life with family and early footage of him as a three year old knee down backing into corners on a pit bike his dad made racing with all the now GP riders. Amazing!! Anyone know the name of this movie I would like to watch it again ? Title: Re: "Fastest" and "Closer To The Edge" Post by: sleeperbold on November 18, 2011, 01:26:38 PM I got my copy of Fastest the other day in the mail. It's really good. Very Rossi centered, but that's ok [cheeky] I really wish TT3D Closer to the Edge would become available soon in the US. You can get it on PAL, but obvi that does me no good. Any new info on it's release date in America yet?

Imagine how I felt when I kept using cono and verga. My girlfriends parents turned blue. Title: Re: "Fastest" and "Closer To The Edge" Post by: goldFiSh on November 19, 2011, 02:42:26 AM We saw both when they opened in Aus. Preferred Closer to the Edge, but both worth a watch.

Going home and get comfy in my couch and watch it on my big screen. [thumbsup] Title: Re: "Fastest" and "Closer To The Edge" Post by: lawbreaker on November 28, 2011, 05:12:43 PM screening of Fastest this sat at Pro Italia in glendale... but you need to RSVP
I sent my email to RSVP and am hoping theres still space.... AND I believe they have it for sale on DVD also Title: Re: "Fastest" and "Closer To The Edge" Post by: metroplex on November 29, 2011, 03:55:46 AM So the Fastest DVD is definitely more focused on Rossi? I was hoping for more Casey Stoner content.
Title: Re: "Fastest" and "Closer To The Edge" Post by: Pedro-bot on November 29, 2011, 05:26:49 AM Yep, pretty much all Rossi with all other riders peppered in for some perspective. Still, it's a good film and I give it a 4/5.
Title: ab Post by: ab on November 29, 2011, 08:21:21 PM Here is " Closer to the edge " ........... hope its cool i posted it if not please delete Ute : Despite your good intentions, if I were you, I would delete the link you posted. Not really helping anybody in the long run. Besides, I am pretty sure there is some rule against putting up a link like that out here in public. Just saying. Title: Re: "Fastest" and "Closer To The Edge" Post by: Pedro-bot on November 30, 2011, 10:19:36 AM Anyone want to buy my copy of FASTEST?

Title: Re: "Fastest" and "Closer To The Edge" Post by: thought on December 01, 2011, 08:40:23 AM saw both last night, both fun to watch.
makes me really want to go to the iom one day now though... Title: Re: "Fastest" and "Closer To The Edge" Post by: orangelion03 on December 05, 2011, 11:28:49 AM Where are you guys buying NTSC version of Closer To The Edge???
Title: Re: "Fastest" and "Closer To The Edge" Post by: Bishamon on December 06, 2011, 07:50:04 AM Where are you guys buying NTSC version of Closer To The Edge??? I have been searching, to no avail. Title: Re: "Fastest" and "Closer To The Edge" Post by: thought on December 06, 2011, 07:53:51 AM truthfully... i dl'ed it. i tried finding somewhere to buy it online but like you guys found... it's just not there yet. I found them on some torrent sites and watched it on my tv through my ps3.
Title: Re: "Fastest" and "Closer To The Edge" Post by: metroplex on December 06, 2011, 07:54:40 AM Is it all/mainly about Rossi? How did they bias it towards/against Stoner?
Title: Re: "Fastest" and "Closer To The Edge" Post by: thought on December 06, 2011, 08:04:17 AM faster is mainly about rossi/jorge rivalry... stoner is covered but not as much as when the film was being shot he wasnt doing that much. they covered his lactose issues, but beyond that it's back to rossi/jorge. if there is any bias it would be against lorenzo.
tt3d is more about guy martin than anything else. they cover others, but i do have to say that i'm glad the focus was with him. he has enough character and weird personality quirks to make the film more interesting. in some ways, the films are a lot alike. they spend most of their time on the riders with the most personality so it's more entertaining. while the other riders are fast if not faster... i dont think i could spend 1-2 hrs watching them talk. it's a movie so in the end it's all about the entertainment value as opposed to the lap times. Title: Re: "Fastest" and "Closer To The Edge" Post by: monster monkey on December 07, 2011, 07:51:20 PM Saw most of 'Faster' at ProItalia last Saturday. I liked it, but now I need to get the DVD to finish it :'(

Guy Martin - I don't call it quirks. Rather the love and full dedication for the sport is most admirable and only a few choose to do and can do.

But I want to buy my own copy. Since I saw it in the theater, I can wait a while to get one. Cheers!! [thumbsup] Title: Re: "Fastest" and "Closer To The Edge" Post by: xsephirot on December 18, 2011, 03:48:01 PM I didn't enjoy Closer to the Edge at all. I liked the parts where they described the TT course and information but absolutely hated when they followed around and just let various riders talk. It was just boring. Maybe it was because I can only understand half the words Guy Martin says when he talks but still...2 hr film I think only about 45 min was enjoyable.
