  Truck It 1973

  Watched 16 Jan 2025

  This is a lot more conventional in its approach than the rest of Halsted’s work. Feels like it’s missing intention/purpose, and the surreal elements that makes his other work really special. What’s left is a stripped down, run-of-the-mill erotic movie. The first miss in Fred Halsted’s filmography for me.

  GODSPEED 2020

  ★ Added 12

  Boring ass video with no character. Jolly’s scene files were so fucked up; Golden looking footy should be on VX and VX only, and it looked terrible on 60 FPS HD footage. Some of the filming is noticeably bad at some points but some of the skating is alright. Music was trash and the B-roll was boring. West Coast skating is just trash. Illegal Civ is trash. Zach Saraceno’s sw flip tho 👀
