Where are you guys buying NTSC version of  Closer To The Edge???

I have been searching, to no avail.

[thought]

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.

Is it all/mainly about Rossi? How did they bias it towards/against Stoner?

[thought]

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.

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.

Thanks man!  But I want to buy my own copy.  Since I saw it in the theater, I can wait a while to get one.  Cheers!!

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.
