"This is by far the most well done Documentary about body modification.
A true work of art! All of the Stars in the movie really get to express their true feelings on the topics of Modification v.s Mutilation, Religion, the laws of body modification and addiction. This movie also explores the underground world of extreme body art and everything from Make-Up to gender Reassignment, Modify has it all!!!!!! Not to mention an epic Soundtrack of all original material that really puts the cherry on top of this Film. Modify is a must see for anyone who is even the slightest bit intrigued by the many different types of body modification. This one gets a Well Deserved 10!" according to a user comment by blizzle818 @ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0455980/ Was in Lancaster County on Wednesday and stopped at Doc Holliday's Steakhouse. Waiting for a friend to arrive, I spoke with the host there. He asked how long I'd had my ears stretched. I told him since 2001 and briefly mentioned the dermal punch, Visual Addiction in Carlisle and the artist, Nick Jarmalenko, who did the work. The host talked about his piercings, a triple tongue piercing, double labret, and more, and then told me about a DVD he'd purchased at a local tattoo shop. The film was Modify. I took his advice and drove over to Wade's Tattooing & Body Piercing - http://www.wadestattooing.com/ - where I purchased the DVD. The shop, at 7 South Prince Street, Lancaster, PA 17603, is tiny, but bright and beautifully set-up, huge window facing the street, and their tattoo flash traditionally arranged on the walls as well as display racks, but also - and this was a first for me - available to search on a computer they had set up in the lobby area. Sweet. The DVD was on display in a jewelry case immediately as you enter the shop. I paid the man twenty bucks for the DVD, but it could easily go for double that amount, imo. About an hour and a half in length with, as the user from IMDb website stated, an original soundtrack of incredible music, interesting interviews, and amazing visuals. A recent thread on tattoo laser removal came to mind as I watched the section on the DVD showcasing Masuimi Max. Apparently she had a demon removed from her belly and a widow's peak tattoo removed from her forehead. Both tattoos are, what I'd call, completely gone without a trace. Imo, for anyone interested in effective laser tattoo removal, researching what procedure she had done or technique she pursued would be an excellent step to take. Modification covers a lot of ground and one of my interests, besides tattoos and piercings, bodybuilding is mentioned in the course of the film. Former pro bodybuilder Mike Morris represents the bodybuilders well in this film offering his perspective on the sport as it relates to body modification. Jen Davis is shown working on a stunning tattoo. Her interview is genuine and touching. As are all the interviews. My favorite segments include everything with Steve Haworth, plus Trigger, Jim Ward, and Drs. Gary Alter (appropriately named) and Julio Garcia. Bear and Zulu kick ass! And the Lizardman is in there, too. His quote on getting a beer at 3 o'clock on a Sunday afternoon is worth the price of admission to this movie! If you've seen this film then I suspect you agree that it's enjoyable, entertaining, and informative - definitely one to watch again. Rapid-fire presentation with some too brief interviews as this DVD covers a ton of ground in just a short period of time. If you've never heard of it and have the opportunity to check it out, I'll recommend it strongly just like the host from the steakhouse did. Pick it up. You will love it. -- Curt http://curtjames.com/ |

Its a HORRIBLE documentary in the mind of anyone who has experience or at least connections in the industry. At best, it's got moments of minor clarity wherein the subject makes itself ironically clear, such as when Steve Haworth claims that he's not into self promotion, but most of it is just awful. And Curt, youre still a motherfucking idiot who has no business on RAB at all, and never, ever did. -----yttrx -- http://www.yttrx.net |
