Thighbeca Film FestivalFinal Day – Final Part(!!!)

Once In A Lifetime
Soccer To Me!
Trailer
US Release Date – July 7th, thru Miramax/ESPN

Much like the Jonestown doc, ever since I was a kid and ogled for hours at the Washington Dips pennant hangin in my bro’s room, I’ve been waitin for someone to examine the rise and fall of the North American Soccer League (NASL). If my luck keeps up, I’m sure someone will soon release a doc on the fall and fall of Nickelodeon’s Hey Dude. Although the focus in Once is all about a handful of rich media types luring Pelé and other world futbol luminaries to bring their shaz and pizzaz to the dismal and unknown NY Cosmos squad, it’s really about the rebirth, or truly the birth of soccer in America. Before P-daddy and co exploded on our scene, soccer was about as low on the American sports’ totem pole as say, archery and things involving shuttlecocks. But even though the league ultimately collapsed for numerous reasons, hexplored in the film, the sport was able to dig its feet in our ground and has continued to reach for the stars. How many of you reading this weren’t involved in youth soccer? You can praise/blame Pelé for that! I don’t cause it’s MSI all the way baby!! This doc totally KICKS a$$ and will SCORE with any audience, even if they isn’t a fan of soccer, futbol, or the human race. And would you eggspect anything less from the director of the seminal ’90s Britpop doc Live Forever and the producer of my balls time flavorite doc One Day In September (big sirprize there, eh?). What if I told you the Flamingo Kid was narrating it? Or if I told you that it captures the manic ’77 NYC summer more effectively than Spike Lee’s poo on a sitck Summer of Sam? Man, ’77 was quite a year, wanznit? Star Wars, the death of Elvis, and the birth of yers drooly. I think we should restart the calendar from that point, so we’d currently be living in 28 ATMIC (After Thigh Master’s Immaculate Contraception)
