Art Bars - Subtitles & Seagulls is part of Foundation's DVD box set, Testament, which consists of their first 16 videos.
This DVD is packed with good stuff... and amazing skating. Try to get passed the title - I sat around for a while trying to extract some clever meaning or decode the inner meaning to it. Well, that's twenty minutes of my life I'll never get back. Eventually I got over the loss and popped this disc into my player.
The DVD contains both the Art Bars movie and The Foundation Summer Tour 2000. Check out the team parts in the movie, then check out the mayhem on the 2000 tour. Good stuff abounds on this DVD.
Bonus Stuff
The bonus menu begins with a brief, "Half Shirt Commercial". Apparently, the first 7000 copies have a limited original horror movie ("You're Going to Die Bitch") by film director/pro skateboarder, Jon West. Try to scoop up an early release so you can watch this two minute short of a stalker decapitating some chick. Isn't that what we buy sk8 videos for anyway? There are also a lot of skating out-takes.
There are photo galleries and a Video Library containing trailers for all the previous Foundation films. There are also a few web-based items for those who enjoy watching movies on small computer screens. Yay!
