An Unworthy Effort
25 October 2022
This movie is not about punk music or punks at all. The music highlighted is awful childish crap except with the exception of Litmus Green This is just about a bunch of homeless losers being idiots on the streets begging money for beer. There's no intelligence or depth to anyone involved in this project, including the maker/interviewer. It's strange how uninteresting and bland these characters are. It's like they all dress and talk how they think punks are supposed to act, but miss the mark entirely. True punks are intelligent, introspective and have coherent critiques of society. Even the questions are weak and just haven't been given much thought. When she hears a sad story her next bit questions is always Does that make you sad? Gimme a break!! And if someone says their parents don't know where they are, she then asks have you talked to them? Seriously? How are they going to communicate if they aren't aware of each other's location? Stupid brainless nonsense. The first movie had very good bands and a look at the history and movement of the scene. The only hafway interesting part in this movie was a brief interview with Keith Morris, but even that didn't pack much punch. The interview with Flea was pathetic, but I learned how inarticulate and dumb he is at least. Anyway there's nothing here to really enjoy at all. While the situation of homeless teens is indeed sad, it's hard to care about them when they don't seem to care about themselves or anything else. The first 5 minutes of the original packed far more punch the entirety of this snoozefest. Pathetic and lazy attempt to cash in on the success of the first 2, and the 2nd one wasn't even that great either.
