I paid money for 12 minutes of skiing footage...

Goddamnit, I want my money back from Pop Yer Bottlez. The whole movie is 28 minutes long, and less than half of that is skiing. The rest of it is these scenes with the skiers doing...acting...god...just being immature and stupid, I guess that's the best way to put it. Arent Tanner and CR like 21 years old now? Havent they grown out of their phase of trying to impress people?
I don't know how some of you can compare this movie to surf/snowboard/wakeboard/skate movies. Those movies feature REAL lifestyle clips and thoughtful interludes between the action. They have lifestyle clips in their movies to show you what the athletes are like as people. Thats NOT what Tanner and crew did here. They created these scenes that are ridiculous, pouring chamgagne on girls in clubs, shooting dice in alleys, etc. etc. Its sad that this the image skiing gives off, Mike Douglas was right in criticizing the new "gansta" fad a few years ago. It makes it difficult for other sports to take skiing seriously when our best athletes are THIS egocentric. Its like they cant relax or be themselves, they care so much about what other people think of them.
I hope that someday we will have a Robotfood ski movie, one where this idiocy and immaturity is replaced by selfconfidence and a good representation of who these guys are. What bullshit, I'm sure Tanner, CR, Boolio are just the biggest thugs out there, dropping G's everywhere and partying like rockstars. Jesus Christ, they are wealthy white kids from rich mountain towns. Grow up, you arent the center of the universe. And you failed in your ultimate goal, instead of wanting to be you, myself and all my friends now dislike you even more. Hahaha, my roomate is a snowboarder and he was laughing his ass off watching this movie.

dude ur perception is very wrong, its fine that u like it, but there is no way it is more creative than whiteshine...which was cool as far as i thought, maybe not showing chads gap every 30 seconds is deff nice! but besides that its friendly, and shows you really more about the person riding, not some d-bag pro gettin crunk in the club, whiteshine portrays real skiers, loving wat they do for skiing, not for money, or sex, or drugs

Well if it's all personal opinion then don't try to preach to me how Thall and CR are the shit and their movie owns.
I've been on this site for 5 years.
I gave plenty or reasons for why I thought I got ripped off by the movie and why I think Tanner and Crew are a bunch of tools.
Yes my 8th grade teacher taught me to spell and reason, so did all my professors throughout college, including both my History and Spanish Thesis advisors.
If it's all personal opinion, dont get so worked up about it and actually give some reasons as to why you think PYB "owns" and why Tanner is "the shit".
No offense, honestly since I don't really keep up with what goes on here and don't really recognize you, but you piss me off

when you say they feature real lifestyle clips, that pretty much is their lifestyle. Partys and skiing

TANNER AND CR ARE GANGSTA.....LETS THEM LIVE THEIR OWN LIFE. THEY ARE THE BEST IN THE SKI INDUSTRY AND IM SURE IF TANNER WERE IN YOUR FACE YOU WILL JUST ADMIRE HIM AND NOT SAYING SHIT LIKE YOU DO BEHIND YOUR NS USERNAME.

I didn't saw the movie but I think that a lot of people didn't understand the movie at all. So I'M gonna talk about what I understood and revew I red about it. I think no one understood the movie.
Just think a little bit... The name of the movie is: POP your Bootle, so it's all figuring in the movie juste like WSK106 was a radio show, don't get all upset about the movie for that it's a concept. THink a little bit and stop acting like stupid people before talkin shit too I don't know if you're all 10 years old but fuck stop it! I'M fucking sick and tired of it each one has is own style nobody gotta be the exact same thing as you, respect it and shut up.

if you hate tanner and cr and their movie so much why dont you just not buy it? seems pretty damned simple to me. i wish people would just shutup about this whole thing. it's like this. tanner made an ephing movie with his friends. i'm sure you have all made movies with your friends, and i'm sure we could all laugh at those movies too. if you dont like it, dont buy it.

The difference is that I don't hype my movies about how sick they are going to be and charge people $20 to $30 for them.
If it was free no one would care.

Thats what premieres are for. i wouldn't buy a video having not seen it. i did that once with the prophecy at this premiere, bought it before the movie cuz they said they wouldbe all gone. and damn that movie sucked (just like every other tgr movie), and there was nothing i could do about it.

ya let me drive 2000 miles to see a premire for a $30 movie when it would cost me over a $100 to drive or $300-500 to fly.
seems real logical

Pop yer bottlez is to skiing as Finger on Da Trigger is to snowboarding, yes the godly snowboard movie industry has some of thier most talented riders (marc franc montoya, aaron biitner, ali goulet anyone)?
And all ski movies are copying robot food these days, its disgusting. Look at the 11th hour review thing. It stands out for its unique location editing and crazy new vibe thats all aobut having fun! Does this sound familiar, and (by familiar i mean not white shine and travelouge).

Hey man, my apoligizes. I was kinda just ranting.
So, sorry about that. The low post number thing wasnt directed at you, I know you've been here for a while, that wasnt aimed at you. I've been here for over 2. Maybe we just missed each other.
And yah, I like The Bigger Picture and PYB, you didn't. It's cool, people can differ in opinions.
Sorry for the hate, much love.

Haha, and on the act your age note, marc franc is 30 years old, still doing flossin shots in all his movies, and still on top of snowboarding.
And on the note of robot food displaying confidence, robot food was almost born of lack of confidence. Back in 98 travis parker was a driven snowboarder trying to win competitions and get on top of the game, in his interviews he was always lighthearted, but showed tons of drive to be on top. Snowboarding competitivley and staying on stop never really came together for him, so he gave up on being the best and started driving this snowboard for fun movement (which everyone took way too far). While afterbang represented in many ways the park of snowboarding at its time, lame and definitley afterlame did not.
I dont dislike robot food here, i love the movies, i just think everyone its taking them out of perspective a bit.

Stop acting like a ten year old? You're the one who writes like you are in second grade, for the second time. Either that or your blazed outta your gourd. Not to mention you fail to form an itelligeble argument by invalidated it inhte first sentence. You are telling us we dont understand the movie? im pretty sure you fail understand the movie. Wait what was your favorite trick of rainvilles? Oh wait, you have yet to see it.
Personally i thought the skiing was very good, i just thought production quality was just not to par. I could give a shit less about the little pop yer bottles stuff, but i still thought it was a bad movie.

seriously, i would enjoy that kind of movie. They are trying to be funny. Everyone knows pro skiers dont shoot dice in allys and pour champagne on girls in clubs. Lifestyle shots would suck, what does he do? smoke weed, party and ski, i would much rather see a funny skit then that

no tanner and all of them are pretty gay they take gayness to new heights with all thier bullshit. ANd the difference with skating movies is that skating is purely an urban sport that onlly requires 100 dollars for a set up. And some pro skatters actually come form hoods were brutal violence in evry sense of the word is a daily reality (and they dont use thier skating segs to show tuff they are they just have funa nd forget about all thier probs). Fuck tanner hall and all them.

okay, i agree that some of the club scene was retarded, but it amounted to a grand total of 2 minutes of the movie. The rest of it is all incredible skiing and great editing. Plus, i thought it flowed very well and the soundtrack was good (other than lil bow wow and sean paul)

There is not actually only 12 minutes of skiing, the person who created this thread was making a point that there is a lot of lifestyle shots in the movie, which is true, but it doesn't ruin the segments...there is still plenty of skiing, most of which is grade a.

meh...i was done with tanner's "new stuff" after WSKI...they were both short films, 2 short for $30 worth. id rather have the $30 then WSKI, and quite frankly, i probably wont buy PYB

What they showed in PYB was definitely not lifestyle. Lifestyle is not scripted, it is not acted, it is not pouring champagne on women. Lifestyle is what happens when the cameras are off. Oh, but they party in real life, you say. Big deal. Nearly every skier parties. Even if they had to show themselves living the rockstar life, they could at least film a real party. That whole club scene was garbage, it served no point at all.
I also love all the kids in this thread..."yo man T$ and CR are the shiiit man if u don't like it ur gay ROFL"

Im hoping teddy bear crisis will fill that void for me this season. The best ski video I have is the flying circus, and its one of my oldest. I love it. chris osteness is the man.

I couldn't possible agree more, also another problem is the criticts, some people expect to see peoople throwing the coolest tricks, but i think it woul be sick if there was a movie of just goofing off and having fun and doing funny tricks, and some really sick ones, none of this gangster crap though,
All times are Eastern (-5)
