I've gotta get this thing out of my house !! [Archive]

My AIFST dvd showed up in the mail yesterday (yes, I'm aware that I'm ~2 yrs late making my fandom questionable to some, and this an annoying post to many -- sorry).

I was so excited to watch it that I canceled my plans to go to a party. And so there I was, on a Saturday night watching this thing for over 4 hours -- FOURS HOURS!! I watched it in regular mode, I watched it a cappella, and then regular again with my head phones and subtitles on, and then finally the commentary (sounded like Mike D needed some tissues). When I finally pulled myself away to go to sleep, I had that same feeling I got after being on the rail for the first time at a Beastie show. Wacky dreams and all -- I dreamt that I was watching that mucus commercial w/ the little green guys, and AH was doing commentary. (Oh wow, I just figured that out -- Mike D needing tissue…)

I have the DVD boxed up in the other room but I still feel it calling me -- I think I still have the bonus footage to get to - isn't that where the VW necklace saga takes place!?!?! (Remember that Sex in the City episode when Miranda ate cake out of her trash can?).

Anyhoo, I doubt that I’ll find anyone willing to converse w/ me here about this DVD as it's such old news to all of guys but at least I got to tell my story.

I get the feeling that I am now about to receive some mean responses:p….

Welcome to loving that DVD, there's so much to watch & geek out on. Be sure to follow all the easter eggs, such as the re-start of Brass Monkey. All all the bonus footage of the MMM intros? Love.

well??

You found a way to keep the monkey on your back even after the tour!
You betcha. Big ass monkey too. Good thing the Fla show is only 8 wks away :D

Now,after another 2.5 hr stint this evening, it's time for a break (my neck hurts). So, all this time in, and still haven't come across these easter eggs or BBQ competitions of which you guys speak??

I do, however, have some fav highlights from my viewings thus far ;

Adrock on the commentary: ' I love my little towel' /'that's not my pee"/" I like this song" (RRNN)

Yauch: "Hit it Mixy"

Mike D dancing on the beach..... "I was mad, and when I showed it to my viewing ppl, I knew I was f'd because it had to stay in"

Oh, and for some reason, my fav was Adrock (while watching some crazy fast grids) "yea, I'm going throw up in a minute"

I was actually at this show- It was the same day I moved in to Manhattan (ah!)- but was 4th row from the very back so it's pretty cool to catch what I didn't actually see.

And now, I must try to sleep, for tomorrow I shall try to watch the flip*mode*squad* thingy. (need to be well rested for that)

Thank you, Mr. Hornblower. Thank you! xo

OK, you're doing great, just stay in it. Do some slow neck rolls, drink plenty of fluids, maybe read a little about the ramifications of Bhutto's assassination in the global war on terrorism to calm you down. We need you fresh for tomorrow.

When you get back in the game, look at the bottom of your screen for a little icon periodically throughout the flick. I KNOW one comes near the top of Brass Monkey, but that's all I recall. You can do it!

The commentary is awesome :)
I also liked the whole Nathinel Hornsblower thing(although it was werid)
and then the 1,000 takes of Shazam! was cool
And also the show beginers
and the Shooting of the audience and those weird chineese guys singin' intergalactic I think
And then the one dude before brass monkey, GET ON THE CAMERA NOW!
We are dressed in black...sorry, I'm listening to egg man!

Izzy!! :mad:

OK, i forgive u for sending me back to the smack because last night I caught the best bonus footage on the DVD for the first time. You get it by watching in "detour mode," from the extras menu. (These are the "easter eggs" I was talking about even though they're not hidden. There's probably hidden ones too. Shit.)

SPOILER:

The most fuckin awesome piece of detour footage comes right as they're about to do their pre-show huddle. The three of them are going over the lyrics to Hello Brooklyn, figuring out who says what when and clarifying lyrics. This is the type of thing I love to watch. The vibe between them is amazing, and Yauch's calmly answering questions with a basketball in hand. What I found most interesting is how Adam H tells Yauch "I don't know it, I'm following you" and says "I'm winging this one!" And then of course he goes out and nails it and they make it look so easy. Professionals. :)

Oh man!!! I really am I junkie!!! My heart actually started to race reading about all the new things I have in store for me during tonights viewing--SERIOUSLY:eek:....

I skipped over the spoiler -- thanks for the alert.

How do you think they viewed the film while doing their commentary? was it w/out sound? (AH kept asking what song it was)

Oh - and I loved Yauch " What the F?! Ill Communication isn't even a song!!" .... what was that sticker looking thing on the back of his jeans? huh?

OK, back to work. I need to this J.O.B. I have an addiction to support, yo!

I watched part of the movie to break in my new stereo system for the TV. I realized that I've never listened to most of the commentary, I've never done any of those side things (whatever they were called) and I never watched any of the other video angles or anything. I have always meant to do it, but I guess I forgot.

Dear GB,

Day 3: Heart rate has returned to normal. But oooh, boy, I am Saa-leep-y! This 2am business is wearing me down.

Tonights main take aways;1) commentary of young Russell Simmons/gangsta dance. (and how it made one the boys go into that doggie laugh -- where you gasp for air) 2) Intergalactic. I'm trying so hard not to use "Bad Ass", but man, it was just sooo freak'n Bad Ass!!!! AH w/ the hat waving, AY all smiles... (I was the level juuust above that magic)

i don't have that yet, either. maybe izzy and i can watch it together over IM! :p
I'm in!

01-09-2008, 12:22 AM

yeah, sorry Izzy, that was bogus...maybe someone can burn you a copy?

completely random AIFST trivia:

camera operator Nadia Dajani (mentioned in the commentary), was featured in the final episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 6.

she was the girl in the waiting room who Larry takes on a date to the movies.
they have a hilarious scene in which they both quiz each other on why they were in the gastroenterologists office in the first place...

okayyy . . . but make sure you check that "detour" right before the group pre-show huddle before you go to sleep tonight. (evil laugh)

was it w/out sound? (AH kept asking what song it was)
Maybe. I also took it as that adorable "what the hell is that?" relaxed grandpa vibe he'll throw out.

camera operator Nadia Dajani (mentioned in the commentary), was featured in the final episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 6.

I want to be Nadia Dajani.

And finally: Critereon Collection. Oh god, you won't leave the house for months. It's not quite the junk aifst is because you've already seen all the videos. HOWEVER!

Late at night after partying, when it's just you and a few good friends on the couch (ok, stoned alone with laptop will do):

See...now... here's the thing... *paces floor nervously in bathrob...pulling at hair* I CAN'T FIND THE PRE-SHOW HUDDLE DETOUR:eek::eek::eek:. And I want to! Bad. Real bad. It's just that I'm getting so confused w/ all this "oooh, you don't have the bonus dvd w/ the goods". So now maybe I do have this? (sorry. I overacted. went to far. It's just that this is what I really, wanna see, ya know?)

^ ok, ok, i'll page vinnie for you one more time, but YOU have to find some shoes and go meet him in the astro van, i don't want him in my house again.

if (and only if) you are in detour mode, which you select from the extra section of the menu (it's in the same list where you turned on commentary) then you will see the things pop up as you watch the movie. it will look like a battery icon, and will appear in the lower right-hand section of the screen. when you see it, click "enter" on the remote. when the detour is over, it will take you back to the regular movie.

i hope that helps! actually, i hope you are asleep given the time diff.

So wait theres a normal version and a criterion version of AIFST? whats the difference?

no, two different things. criterion collection here. (http://www.amazon.com/Beastie-Boys-DVD-Video-Anthology/dp/B00004YZGR)

Day 4

Today was a good day! I rummaged up enough change to buy some flip flops then headed over to the park to meet up w/ Vinnie for the exchange. Came directly home and stuck that bad boy in the dvd player. Bam! there it was...... the pre-huddle-Hello Brooklyn run down. All the other stuff has been really great but..... whoa, THIS.... THIS is the good stuff, maaaan. (anyone know what Yauch is saying to AH just when he shoves the ball at him?)

Good day indeed. I think I'll shower tomorrow.

Is that the bit where he says "They know my initials" or the bit where he says "Holder, keeper...so it's sorta like a pay-off".

A-Z you should watch it, man. It's pretty good fun. I'm really excited about the Gala one though.

Oh, I care!!! I'm right there with ya. I wanna know everything. I kept replaying that bit (in slow-mo then w/ subtitles to get all the goods) and thought it was kinda funny how all three were in different moods. AY giggling and (talking in to the mic) saying can I get a "stop and get a sando" and "hit it mixy". Mike D wasn't about to laugh along though, he was all bidness there and back to the stage even when AY smiled at him. (reminds me of the nerdy kid (OK, me) that finds their own jokes funny but no one else laughs) AH acknowledged some fans on the way out to the crowd.

Damn. I swore to myself that I would lay off this thread today:mad:

This was opening night of the theatrical release of Awesome...(goes to look for the ticket stub) on 3/23/06, not the camera peeps view.
It was pumped in one of those fancy sound theaters in surround sound all around you- it sounded sick (although I think I remember thinking it could of been louder- not to say it wasn't, I think I just wanted it cranked up to an insane level!)
It wasn't announced that they'd be there or anything, but I had a "feeling" (read: I hoped my ass off and was so psyched when they walked up front when the lights went up!). I heard they showed up for the start of a viewing at the battery park theater and introduced it and then jetted over to talk to us. We so got the better of that. I don't remember much about the actual Q&A- normal like people freaking out and professing their love type stuff- although as I remember being surprised by a few questions being well thought out and right on in terms of asking about the flick (Yauch answered like all the questions- they kept deferring to him). I was just to jazzed to be in the same room with them I couldn't keep my shit together to think of any good questions to ask(thus my surprise when others could). It was an awesome end to that night that I will probably be stoked about forever.

Wow. I mean, WOW!!!! I actually got butterflies reading this. WOW!!! How awesome for you. I always fantasize about stuff like that happening. (Like the one where I'm on a trip w/ the underserved kids I volunteer w/ and AY invites us to tour O-Scope -- yea, I know, volunteering is meant to be a selfless act).

So happy you included the exact date. I just looked on my calendar and I was in Cali on bidness that wk. That eases the pain a bit...

Actually, no. I'm still sad that I missed out.:(

march 23rd was the one-night digital screening in theaters across the country. they aired "A Day In The Life of Nathanial Hornblower" and then screened the film.

I'm pretty sure it played at the NuArt in L.A.

it was released for a theatrical run a week later on March 31.

Mike D was on his Blackberry the whole night during their appearance at Union Square.

I also remember them telling the crowd there would be a surprise at the end of the screening and everyone should stick around...

there was another screening that week that was on March 28th. that was considered the "NY Premiere" with some SNL cast members there and Joan Jett and Chuck D were also there, it was at Loews 34th St. across from Hammerstein...

that was the one with the after-party down the block in some hip swanky Chelsea nightclub. the band was all decked out in suits...

So what did Mike D and AH get out of this? Just a fav to AH? Fun? Surely not for the $$. Guess it could of been for band exposure?! Seems like they had to attend a lot of premiers, Letterman, Q&A's, etc. for Yauch's hobby(aka my obsession).

I hate you!!! No, not really. I don't. But daaaa-aanmn (in my best whinny voice).

Was the Letterman crowd lame? They couldn't have deserved to be there. Not like me. :( ( I did get to see the Ramones when I went to Letterman though...)

Shit. I hate you again.

But not really

Oh, I forgot to be angry about the after party, too...

did the neighbors dig it?

oh yes, they are big fans. :)

Did anybody see the bonus dvd they were giving out at best buy when it first came out on dvd? I saw it at the store but I never heard anything about it anywhere.

this one (http://cgi.ebay.com/AWESOME-I-SHOT-THAT-2-DISCS-Beastie-Boys-NEW-DVD_W0QQitemZ170182770169QQihZ007QQcategoryZ2303QQ rdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQtrksidZp1638.m118.l1247QQcm dZViewItem) say 2 discs but doesn't detail what's on the second disc (unless i missed it)

So what did Mike D and AH get out of this? Just a fav to AH? Fun? Surely not for the $$. Guess it could of been for band exposure?! Seems like they had to attend a lot of premiers, Letterman, Q&A's, etc. for Yauch's hobby(aka my obsession).

it's their movie, they're the stars!

I went to a theater in Sacramento to see the film, and I remeber thinking that it could have been way louder. It was a good audience though, nearly packed. No special appearances though...

Seeing it on a theater screen, I remember, was almost overwhelming. We left feeling dizzy but pleased.

I had to go buy a new copy of the dvd today so I went to best buy and I found one with the bonus disc. Pretty exciting to me yeah but well if anyone needs a copy, holler.

IzzyNYC

01-18-2008, 10:49 PM

^^^I just got my hands on the bonus copy, too (thanks, BBMB-buddy(y))

I loved how Mike(vegan)D was the BBQref.. Jamie has the besteset job ever!

there are plenty more eggs on there! keep a look out for the icons at the bottom. ma fave is DEF the beginning of brass monkey. you get to find out which mike AH is "god damning".[/quote]

But WHY is he?? (it's MMM, right?)

[quote=alikat;1547652]
You get it by watching in "detour mode," from the extras menu. (These are the "easter eggs" I was talking about even though they're not hidden. There's probably hidden ones too. Shit.)

So, I've been watching this thing for at least 6 months straight, right? and I have yet to find one "easter egg" -- is that just hip lingo for "icon"? :( AND, did I make this up or did I hear that you can take the detour on the extras, too? like the Never Stop Rapping Yet"...

IzzyNYC

01-22-2008, 12:15 PM

*offer junkie more stuff* Izzy - have you seen the Criterion Collection DVD yet...it has some great commentary, too.

OK, I'm ready to get started on this now.

But first, a question....

no, two different things. criterion collection here. (http://www.amazon.com/Beastie-Boys-DVD-Video-Anthology/dp/B00004YZGR)
^^^ there's 2 versions? What's the collector's series all about? worth the extra cheese?

YoungRemy

01-22-2008, 02:04 PM

stop the madness.

the DVD Anthology is one thing, the AIFST DVD is another

the DVD Anthology is part of the Criterion Collection.
If I am not mistaken, the Anthology is only available as a Criterion Collection DVD. there are many easter eggs and mulitiple video/audio options available on said DVD

the AIFST has a bonus disc, which was originally exclusive to Best Buy, which is now available for purchase at online retailers.

the AIFST bonus disc includes the BBQ Cook Off and the Shazam video in many different angles and audio remixes

aside from the AIFST bonus disc, there are hidden features available on the regular DVD for AIFST. these features include detour mode(turn detour mode "ON" and wait for the little battery icon to appear) as well as audio options (commentary, a capella, etc.) and video (Grid Mode) options.

other extras include the Jerome Crooks, tour intros, and fan commentary(Never Stop Rappin' Yet)

did I make myself clear?

IzzyNYC

01-22-2008, 02:14 PM

Yes, but (and I'm sure "buts" aren't welcome any longer) I'm asking about the Criterian dvd. See, there are 2 types and I don't wanna get the wrong one (ya know, like how I missed out on the bonus dvd w/ AIFST).:o

*holds breath*

*presses submit reply*

*awaits wrath of YR*

Nicodemus

01-22-2008, 02:57 PM

There's only one version of the DVD anthology and it is lableled as Criterion Collection. 2 discs. You can't go wrong, there's only one version. No bonus DVDs were ever available.

IzzyNYC

01-22-2008, 03:21 PM

Oh Lord, they are going to hate me, BUT -- I'm looking on Amazon and they show a reg edition and a collectible:o:o:o

Nicodemus, please don't send my Mom back to the bathroom.

EDIT: Oh crap. I just figured it out. Leave me alone :-(

01-22-2008, 04:57 PM

Wait, I don't get it! Are you talking about the dvd that came with "Solid Gold Hits?" I still haven't seen that Brass Monkey video. I've had my new AIFST dvd for 4 days and in that time I've watched it twice. Is this direct marketing at its finest? Well maybe. I think I'll watch it again when I get home tonight.

IzzyNYC

01-22-2008, 05:05 PM

^^^ This is awesome!!!!

You must see the Brass Monkey bit but I'm clearly not the one to explain how. Maybe Alikat or Ace will come back and explain. Or you could just call your man Nate.

Any way, I just ordered:
"Beastie Boys DVD Video Anthology - Criterion Collection"

I don't know anything about the Solid Gold dvd and it's best I keep it that way for now.

Yes, Myrtle, it's just an icon. ;):p Many movies have places you can click for bonus material that are hidden or not as apparent as the user-friendly icons in this here flick. Hence the term.

As for the detours of the other extras, I don't know -- find out & report back!

I have to go back to thinking about Heath now. :(

Oh, just saw this. Go to extras menu --> detour mode --> on. The instructions are there, basically just click "enter" on your remote any time you see an icon (it looks like a battery power icon) in the lower right corner of your screen. enjoy!

SPOILERS:

imo the best detour is the pre-show huddle, followed by the brass monkey re-start. i also love the montage where they count how many times that one guy says "get excited! be on the dvd!" last week my friend pointed out that probably no one in his section had any idea about the aifst project, which makes the footage funnier.

ok, back to mourning loss of great actor.

this story is adorable. i love this kind of mad love for them!
the first time i've seen the dvd, months ago, i've cried watching the people at jerome crooks' s home.
i've thought: "damn! i would be there so much! but i'm here, and i will remain!"
then adrock grl has promised me that a not very far day she will work in nyc, and i will go with her, and we'll do anything possibile to meet beasties.. sweet!

i bought my copy early 2007, so I was also behind the curve.

anyway, my 4 year old daughter always wants to watch Scooby Doo or The Beastie Boys sing ... : "New York, New York .. It's a Hell of Town" she was unhappy that Body Movin did not make the show.

So, I had every good intention of leaving this thread alone but it bumped back up and I can no longer resist talking about Criterion...

*offer junkie more stuff* Izzy - have you seen the Criterion Collection DVD yet...it has some great commentary, too.

Just got it!! Love it!!

i don't have that yet, either. maybe izzy and i can watch it together over IM! :p
Get on it, girl. I need to start comparing notes.... hope you put that Bday list together for the folks. Oh, and when you DO get it, be sure you see Alikat's brilliant suggestion below!!

And finally: Critereon Collection. Oh god, you won't leave the house for months. It's not quite the junk aifst is because you've already seen all the videos. HOWEVER!

Late at night after partying, when it's just you and a few good friends on the couch (ok, stoned alone with laptop will do):

What cha want.

Three-person Angle.

A Capalla.

Close to screen.

AHHHH! It's like being inside a little box with them peering in at you and randomly shouting. Except they're the ones in the box! Bwahaha!

This part ^^^is my CC fav thus far. Now I get why AH said he remebers wanting pizza so badly. I haven't laughed this hard since Mike D's dance on the island in AIFST(y)(y)(y)(y)

This dvd is work tho. Sooo many Flavors. Oh, so much to get to...

alikat

02-05-2008, 05:00 PM

there's one mode in there somewhere where you can watch a whole ton of successive takes of mike's reaction shot to yauch's severed head flying past him. dude never breaks once. pure innocent wonder every time.

EDIT: i forgot to add, in the bonus parts of body movin. i can at least save you that searching time. :)

The Criterion DVD is awesome, really fucking awesome, but I just wish that they included EVERY music video they ever did. "Jimmy James", "Time For Livin'", all the ones from Licensed To Ill (although if they don't own the rights to the LTI music videos, I understand).

i also wish they wouldn't bleep out curse words. just seems sooooo wrong to me, pisses me off whenever it happens.

(i also wish . . . i wasn't still awake on a sunday night awaiting chat responses from live tech support for my server and over-posting here in the meantime. but anyway...)

Yeah, I like how even the subtitles are replaced w/ "beep". I think I even saw "Fresh" some place... something like, "I'm that kid in the corner all fressssh". Ha ha! I did find the G rated Body Movin' cute, tho. For those who prefer not to see Yauch lose his head (but why then does he have the neck brace in the next scene... hmm?

OK - some another fav I just discovered; Intergalactic> supplements>can't remember angle> AH as a greaser (y)

02-11-2008, 11:23 AM

Yo, Ace!! What happend? Did you get lost on your way to this thread? I'm ready to start comparing notes on Criterian Collection. Hellooooo?!?:rolleyes:

AH's comment about wearing underwear for the Shake Your Rump video.... (did you know that the fruit is cheering?! hmm? did ya?)

Mike D's love scene in Hey Ladies...
i didn't wanna be all sad b/c i didn't have it... but all that has changed now! i'm watching tonight! of course it sounds like i can't explore everything in one night!
