yeah, i got no excuses…
Man… I really should have seen The Other F Word in the theater. I know the title popped up on my twitter timeline, but I was just catching up on old eps of The Treatment with Elvis Mitchell and realized I HAD TO SEE IT. All director Andrea Blaugrund Nevins had to say was punk doc, but punk dads? I’m in. Of course, it’s already left the theater here in LA. I guess my Netflix queue’ll have to do.
It’s in limited release, check your local spots. It opens in DC and Philly on 12/2. You can so still see it. And if you’ve already missed it like me, it comes out on DVD at the end of Jan.

A little more backstory on the making of the doc… IFC interview at SXSW
I’m excited by the premise of the documentary: guys who have made successful careers of challenging authority assume the role of father, the ultimate authority figure. As a defiant one who has grown up somewhat, I’ve discovered that the joke is on the rebel without a cause; everyone takes effective responsibility for personal choices, or lives in deep, deep, deep regret. I’ve also learned that children, when they are raised properly, make their authority figures accountable (which I love, by the way), and continue the cycle by having and raising their own truth seekers.
Um, word. What you said. ♥
