Good concept, poorly executed.
A Masterpiece!
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
If you are fan of this great band, this DVD is a MUST for you! Even if you aren't a die-hard fan, its great! Its all little home videos, interviews, and other things all put together in a great documentary. It also contains their music videos, and 2 selections from a live concert! Quite a good deal for 19.95 for die-hard fans or just regular people who like the band!
These guys are so funny!! `VH1 Behind the Music' or `E! True Hollywood Stories' doesn't hold a candle to this video. You really get an uncensored view of how crazy it is to go out on tour.If there were any band to be stuck in a tour bus, after seeing this video, you would want it to be Blink 182. These guys make every situation, no matter how mundane, to be a total laugh riot.
I didn't think that there could be anything funnier than Blink's videos for `All the Small Things' and `What's My Age Again?" I guess I am wrong. The Urethra Chronicles is seriously the funniest thing I have seen in so long. I like a lot of the older footage (although it is a little grainy) that shows the crappy clubs that they played in and doing stuff like shooting roman candles out of the tour bus. It's also cool to see the guys in Pennywise.Mark and Tom totally lay it all out without the pretentious `rock star' attitude. This is not the typical behind the scenes documentary. I really got the feel of what it would be like to go on tour. And it isn't all champagne and limos.If you like Blink-you will love this video.
The Urethra Chronicles is filled with incredibily funny moments compiled over the years by band members and such. I could have used a little more live footage though.Travis Barker is the greatest drummer ever!!!! Also has all music videos except M+M's. Well worth getting if youre a Blink fan.
