Although I'm often disparaging of aging old school fans, I have to admit that it holds an appeal for me. Maybe all my anger over their nostalgia is simply me being bitter that I never got to live in a time (or neighborhood) where I could regularly walk by cipher's, breaking circles, and the like.

While it seems like we might still live in that time, if I would just boogie over to another country. Last night a friend and I checked out Planet B-Boy, a movie I enjoyed the hell out of. It follows five teams--two from South Korea, one from the States, one from France, and one from Japan, as they prepared for the Battle of the Year competition in Germany. There's a lot of good dancing and reflections on the international appeal of hip-hop and then there is more awesome dancing. Plus good characterization, long-standing country rivalries, and even more awesome dancing. If it happens to be playing anywhere you are go see it.
