Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I was in Hollywood last night looking at the new releases when I spotted a movie that had what appeared to be a Fixed/SS rider on the cover. The story is set on the south side of Chicago. I promised myself I'd remember the title to research it a bit. I have broken that promise. Certainly someone here knows this movie. Tell me if it's worth renting or not. I apologize in advance because I'm sure there's a four page thread discussing this movie that I missed.

Thanks

Today's song of the day is Fearless from Pink Floyd.

Today's album of the day is Another Green World by Brian Eno

found it:

Dark

All Movie Guide
Dark, the debut feature film of up-and-coming Chicago-based indie filmmaker Darryl Bullock, became an official selection at the 2003 Toronto International Film Festival, Chicago International Film Festival, Urbanworld Film Festival, and American Black Film Festival, and receives its first home video release from Cheeseburger Films. It tells the story of one Dark Freeman (Jason Bonner), a young African American man who finds himself torn between his tough urban roots - living as a resident on the impoverished, crime-ridden south side of Chicago - and his day-to-day life, in the comparatively wealthy and privileged University of Chicago, where he is enrolled as a student. Walking between the two worlds, Freeman must find a way to succeed in both, with the help of lovers, family members, close friends and acquaintances. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Semi related: Anyone seen the Woody Harrelson movie "Go Further"? Always intrigues me, but haven't heard anything about it.
